Video 2, 3, & 4 are up! Wazoo Adventure Bracelet: New Videos & Quickie Demos

Hello Fellow Adventurers!

I hope your week is rocking. I've posted 3 new videos for you to check out. Buckle up!!:-)

Here are a few action pictures and highlights of each video. Click & watch! 

In the zone here with what I'm saying about the Awesome Wazoo Adventure paracord bracelet in this freeze frame. Click links below to watch my growing video series!

Video 2: This is a cue up to video 3. I talk about my plans to show you the compass and glow light in video 3. I also make one correction to a video I pulled. I had used the retro-reflector in the daylight to reflect, but actually the retro-reflector is designed for night use. It's optimal for night dection & rescue. There are special crystals in the retro-reflector material that make it a powerful reflector at night when a light hits it. I've tested it and it WOWS! Stay tuned, I will be presenting a live demo in the dark soon to show you the retro-reflectors awesomeness!

There is a mirror found under the female side of the buckle. That is designed to be used to reflect against sunlight. A future demo on that one to come, too.

Take in the gorgeous James River setting in this video while I game plan my coverage for the next video!

Video 3: Check out the action! In this quick demo I show you the compass and glow light. Special guest appearance by some James River ducks.

BAM!!!:-D 
Video 4: This is my favorite video yet! I'm a sucker for sparks!:-) Check out my demo showcasing the first aid/tinder packets, Ranger bands, and steel striker/firesteel. Be ready to be WOWed by the spark action at the end of the demo. The Firesteel & stricker blade are two of my favorite pieces!!!

If you missed it... 
Video 1: My first video kicking things off & getting the party started!!:-)

I'm looking forward to bringing you a separate demo where I actually do build a mini fire! :-) Stay tuned!

Video 1: Buckle up! Let's get the Wazoo Review party started!

Hello Fellow Adventurers!

I'll be posting a series of YouTube videos over the next few weeks to review the Wazoo Adventure bracelet. My videos (link below) and blog posts will feature:
* Seeing the bracelet in action 
* Explanation of each item
* A demo of me using each of the 16  
  components
* Me having a BLAST reviewing this 
  awesome bracelet
* TBA ~ Some special features to come
 
For as long as I can remember, I've had a passion for learning about survival skills. I love the feeling of preparedness, gaining knowledge about dealing with certain scenarios, and the empowerment knowing what to do myself if I had to use the skills. One of my favorite books is the US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76. Check it out. Insightful!

My interest in and inspiration to continue learning about survival skills was my Dad. He was an accomplished Army Officer, though he would never boast about honors/medals.  That was one of the many qualities I admired about him. In his younger days, he lived adventure being a part of the 82nd, a Green Beret and venturing to far off places. Growing up he shared with me ways to do things and readings. He passed away this year. The opportunity to practice with this product review keeps my memories strong of our talks about survival skills, which I always enjoyed. He will always inspire me.

So, I'm looking forward to sharing with you my experience of covering the Wazoo Adventure bracelet. 3 things to view the action and get into the game!

SEE - DO - PLAY
See ~ Check out my youtubes, read links I share for different perspectives and coverage. 
Do ~ Visit Wazoo's site and buy your own bracelet or keychain.
Play ~ Try out the features yourself! The cool part of the bracelet is it doesn't require full disassembling to use numerous features. You will have plenty of items to play with without having to tear down the bracelet completely.

Share your comments on the video or blog posts. I'd be interested in your tips on using the features I cover and what you think of the bracelet. I love learning so through our mutual shares, ideally we'll both pick up new insights through the experience.

Subscribe to my YouTube channel to watch the latest videos and stay tuned to this blog for more information, action pictures and links!


Check out their Rad products! Snag one for yourself and, while you're at it, consider giving them as a gift to the Adventurer you know. This bracelet is A for Adventure & A for Awesome!! 

Action shots from today. A freeze frame from my YouTube video just posted!
Wearing the bracelet at the Farmers Market in Richmond, Virginia, this morning. I love my fresh produce. Feeding the mind and body with quality keeps my happy feet fired up! Here I am buying Okra from Crumpton Farm.
This bracelet is loaded with 16 tools integrated in it. I really like Wazoo's site. Clean look and details on each of the survival tools. 
Hyperlinks on the site cover each item found in the bracelet.
The folded insert that came with the bracelet includes great overview details.
Details and specs on each item!
The list continues! In my first video, I demo the whistle. Really smart design integrating it in the buckle. Easy to use.
Made in the USA, right on!
Nick, this bracelet ROCKS! Looking forward to unveiling more.....
....and a sneak peak at my next video to be posted. It will introduce the compass, glow light & reflective mirror. 
Is this bracelet "exciting around your wrist" or what?!!? 

Stay tuned for more, Fellow Adventurers!

WAHOO Wazoo Adventure Bracelet Reviewer in Me!

Wazoo asked ....

My response... I was born ready!!!

My Dad was Army Special Forces and the most awesome man I've ever known. He taught me a lot growing up about being self sufficient and learning about survival skills continues to fascinate me. 

I'm very curious and love growing my experiences that enhance my skills. I find that challenging subjects captivate my attention as I work to learn what's involved to perform more than your average bear kind of things in Life. Fires up my Happy Feet!:-)

In part, my drive to acquire certain skills is fueled by my desire to be prepared. I had an interest in being first aid/CPR trained if I ever had to help a loved one, primarily, and to have survival skills so I don't feel clueless if I needed to use those skills. I had an interest and I take steps to grow those skills. I don't like not knowing what to do if I can learn it and use it to better myself and those I care about, if needed. 

I read about this Wazoo Adventure parachord bracelet months ago and did a  post about my intrigue in it. Low & behold, an opportunity has come up for select Reviewers to disassemble their bracelet and provide reviews. I have been selected as a reviewer and am eager to get into action!

In my day to day, I'm a training professional and enjoy sharing what I learn. I plan to do several YouTube videos and posts to this blog as I review various components of this survival bracelet. I am excited to unveil the pieces and show you how I apply my skills! 

You've seen from previous posts I've shared how much fun I have exploring the Virginia outdoors. Join me on this mad skills adventure. You may pick up something new or better, share tips with me so I expand my skills!

Stay tuned for more!!:-)

Travel & language: Google translate ROCKS!

Technology is so amazing. Barriers are anhilated with tools being created to connect more to so many things the yesterday's did not offer. For example, I enjoy trying to communicate with others who are foreign countries by using some of their language. Like many out there,  I leverage my smartphone and look up phrases. A contact wrote me back a reposnse I could not read. No problemo, plugged it into Google Translate & BAM, I copy you load and clear!!:-) Love it!! Passport, $, smartphone w Goigle Translate... Oh the places I can go!!!:-)


What's your favorite translation apps? Language learning apps? 
Travel apps?
Dish up, because sharing info is caring.:-)
Fess up!
