The best outdoor products for big and heavy people. From camp chairs to bike to paddleboards, we’ve got you covered!
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. We did …
When I was a young guy I was looking for the easiest way to pack on some muscle and lose fat. I found an old rowing machine in my basement and, once I figured out that it wasn’t a weird old bench press machine, hopped on to get a workout. It seemed way too easy …
“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 …
If you’re a big guy or girl you’ve probably been thinking about increasing your fitness level (or losing weight) for a while. For several years it was pretty much all I thought about. How could I think of anything else when I couldn’t tie my shoes without being out of breath? I know that when …

Too mature for a heavy-duty kick scooter but too poor for a Tesla? Well, settle for the next best thing, a heavy-duty stand-up electric scooter! Well, the next best thing might actually be a Prius, but if you’re looking for electric transportation over a short distance, through a busy city, or to give you thrills, …

As a big guy, I’m always keen on the challenge of finding high-weight capacity furniture that’s suitable for people from overweight to obese. An average director’s chair will have a …
Big guys aren’t meant to fly. At least I assumed that was the reason that my dad and uncles never used tree stands. I spent hours upon hours in my younger days sitting in a blind and hoping something walked by. Since the trees on our property limited our visibility to less than 50 yards, …
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 …
