The best outdoor products for big and heavy people. From camp chairs to bike to paddleboards, we’ve got you covered!
When I was in college, I walked around 5 miles a day to/from campus and between classes. While I enjoyed the exercise (ehh…mostly), there was one main problem with my walks. They took forever! There were 30,000 fellow students all vying for the limited parking spots at my school. This meant I always had to …
I still vividly remember one of the first guys I saw carrying. I was visiting my dad at a warehouse that he managed and there was a fat, mountain-man-type fellow sitting and eating his lunch. What interested me was that he had a revolver sitting on the table next to his food. Being a kid …
“What? You want to get to class faster? Nah man, you’re too fat for longboards, bikes and scooters. Guess you’ll just have to walk everywhere on your slow fat feet.” Well thanks, man. Just because I’m a big guy doesn’t mean I don’t want to cruise around campus on a longboard or bomb down that …
The average weight in the U.S., in particular, has increased steadily, and now, with 73.7% of men (including me) considered overweight or obese, why has a truly heavy-duty hammock been so long in the making?! Well actually, high capacity hammocks have always been there. There were just never marketed directly to us big guys and …
If you’re a big guy or girl you’ve probably been thinking about increasing your fitness level (or losing weight) for a while. I know that when I was at my heaviest I didn’t necessarily care about losing weight, I just wanted to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without losing my breath …

I’ve always hated trying on clothes. I would much rather just buy a pair of pants and then return them later if they don’t fit. Even though I probably won’t return them. This drove my mom nuts and makes my wife even nutsier. However, I was never able to see their side of the argument …
On paper, having a swimming pool in your yard sounds amazing. Cool off anytime? Sign me up! Wear a bikini or no shirt without feeling self-conscious? All-day long! Not having a wide heavy-duty pool ladder that will support my weight? Ehhhh…. not so much. Not being able to get into (or out of) my own …
I’ll be the first to admit that I was pretty disappointed the first time I saw a hoverboard. I had been hearing about them for a while and expected that they would turn me into the next silver surfer. Seeing something with wheels was a bit of a letdown. However, once I got the hang …
“Time and time again, the most comfortable camping cot is the biggest camping cot…” Fat people aren’t meant to enjoy the outdoors. Or at least that’s the conclusion I came to after my search for the most comfortable camping cot for large adults. I could find lots of extra-wide, double, and even plush-looking cots but …
