With everything we tote out to our campsites on a regular basis, somewhere in there is usually a radio. Some folks bring it along just to listen to music, some for emergency information should things go poorly, and lots of folks just like to have access to the most recent weather report. In this review, Woods Monkey takes a look at the Kaito Voyager. The Voyager is a medium sized AM/FM, Shortwave, and NOAA weatherband radio capable of functioning by a myriad of options.

Being an iPhone fanatic, I usually get a call from friends telling me about the crazy cutting edge things they find for the iPhone. The call I never expected was from the Monkey! They called and said they had a Black Ops iPhone case and they wanted my opinion on it. My first chance to write for Woods Monkey and an iPhone case review, that’s a no brainer.

Power.... It's an awesome thing. We take it for granted every day. Wake up with an alarm clock, turn on the light, and hit the TV or radio button. All needing some form of power. Our cell phones, tablets, laptops, or computers require the life blood of electricity to power them. Without it they are nothing more than a means to hold paper down and gather dust.

One of my favorite pastimes as a child was to go treasure hunting, and as a consequence to those activities, I buried a few treasures of my own.  I had a set of the old Planet Of The Ape dolls and thought it would be a great idea to bury them and dig them up later on or let someone else do it.  My plan didn't work too well since my cartography skills weren't up to snuff.  I wish I'd known about geocaching and the Magellan Explorist GC back then..those things are worth a lot of money now!
