The best outdoor products for big and heavy people. From camp chairs to bike to paddleboards, we’ve got you covered!
“Why would a grown man want a kick scooter?” That is the question that my wife and wives everywhere want to know. Well, it turns out that there are lots of very legitimate sounding reasons (beyond “I want one”) that justify getting a kick scooter as a heavy adult. Although, if you need an answer …
I don’t think a guy can go more than a couple of months without being asked how many pushups he can do. Especially if you are a fat guy (like me) and work with a super fit guy (like Dave). I guess I’m just easy pickings to make himself look better. Freaking Dave. I guess …
So let me guess, you’re a bit bigger than average but you’ve somehow caught the kayak bug. I hate to tell you this, but that bug isn’t going to go away! I was bitten by the bug to own a kayak several years ago and now have half a dozen of them in my garage. …
I’ve never been much of a cyclist, but I’ve noticed that road bikes are becoming more and more popular in my neighborhood. It seems like half the people on my block have at least one bicycle designed for riding on the road. A friend of mine came over to the house the other day and …

There are literally hundreds of sleeping bags on the …

I’m also not big on long walks due to my weight. Thankfully, there are still a few National Monuments out there that …
Despite being very well off, my grandpa has had the same furniture on his patio for over 40 years. His kids have given him new patio furniture which has come on and gone but the same few items have been there since before I can remember. During that time, the chairs and the swing frame …
When I was younger, my family didn’t have beach chairs. Or camp chairs. Or any sort of outdoor chairs. I don’t know if my parents thought they were for lazy people (more likely: we just couldn’t afford them) but we never invested in anything that would make our short beach trips more comfortable.

I’ve always been a big sports guy (as in, I’m a fat guy that likes to watch sports…) I’m willing to watch just about any sporting event on TV and I often use it as background noise while I write. Since it’s April, I’ve just marked my calendar to tune into both the Boston Marathon …
