Wild Game Innovations VU50 Trail Pad Handheld Card Viewer

Wild Game Innovations VU50 Trail Pad Handheld Card Viewer is a no hassle snapshot viewer.  It’s as simple as removing the SD card from your trail camera, inserting it into the Trail Pad and scrolling through the photos taken while you were away.  Since it’s hunting season in New Jersey, I’m looking over a few ways to view hunting camera photos.  I recently took a closer look at the BoneView Trail and Game Camera Viewer for Smartphones.  That’s a great device for use with your smartphone.  The Trail Pad doesn’t require a smartphone and means no more need for your laptop … Read more



Square Jellyfish Jelly-Grip Car Air Vent Mount Product Review

Garmin Bean Bag Mount Product Review

The most popular mount for a Garmin vehicular GPS is the Garmin Portable Friction Mount.  The mount is manufactured by Garmin and is an extraordinarily popular mount.  They officially refer to it as the portable friction mount but I still call it the Garmin bean bag mount.  It has been available since the days of the first Garmin Nuvi which ironically is the model shown in the photo that accompanies this review.
