Pop Up Blinds


A hunting blind is a cover device for hunters, designed to reduce the chance of detection.
Native Americans created blinds by digging pits in the earth and covering them with tree limbs. There are many varieties of blinds¬ out there on the market, but they all serve the same purpose: concealment. Hunting blinds have come a long way from digging a hole, to building a tree stand, ladder tree stands, to the new state of the art Pop Up blinds.
When considering what blind to buy you need to consider the type of hunting you will use it for. For the nature for this discussion let’s just talk about the Pop Up blinds.
Pop Up Blinds offer cover not only from the game you are hunting but also the weather you are hunting in. They are light weight and portable and offer you the ability to change the spot you are hunting with ease.
www.shipsinaday.com offer Bigfoot Camo blinds that are the industry leader in hunting concealment. With shoot through windows Pop Up design and versatile for any kind of hunting, a Bigfoot Pop up blind may be the only blind you need. These blinds can be used for Deer, Fowl, Turkey or any big game. So check out www.shipsinaday.com for the Bigfoot Camo hunting blinds.
Ok now we are back; PLEASE, PLEASE set your blind up before you go out in the woods. Get familiar with all the parts and how they work. You don’t want to be thrashing around trying to set your blind up and then expect to bring home a trophy buck…its not going to happen! If you need help there are how to videos at www.shipsinaday.com
¬Once you're out in the hunting grounds, look for a location that already has a naturally hidden feel to it -- like a small patch of trees or an incline. You can use tree stumps, hollows or large boulders as a good starting point. Gather tree limbs and leaves to use as cover. By breaking off fresh limbs instead of gathering dead ones from the ground, you can help to cover your own scent. When the limbs are broken, they will release their scent into the area. The key¬ to using a hunting blind is to find a proper location. Placing a blind out in the middle of an otherwise empty field will be quite obvious, too the game you are hunting and everyone else! You also need to consider the natural behavior of your game when you are choosing a location for your blind. Try to place your blind where animals will naturally wander in search of food or water.
So that is it, get your Bigfoot blind and get out there….Happy Hunting!

Bike Trainer




Bike trainers are fast becoming a great way to enhance your work out. Wither you are adding more cardio to your routine or you are getting ready for your first century a bike trainer may be the right choice for you. Rain, sleet, snow or your wife saying you can’t go for a ride, getting your self ready for a century is a big commitment. Here are a few of the routines I have used to help myself get ready for the Six Gap century.
Force reps: Warm up for 10 to 15 minutes, then cranks the resistance down until it's very heavy (as if you were climbing a steep hill.) Drive the pedals down for 20 to 30 pedal strokes, concentrating on producing force on the down stroke. Don't increase cadence; keep cadence very slow. Recover for five minutes and repeat. You can perform four to eight force reps per workout.
Leg tension: Trains strength endurance. Envision climbing a long, steep hill. Keep your cadence in the 50 to 60 rpm range with heavy resistance. Smoothly pedal the length of the interval using good climbing form. You can perform leg tension intervals of five to 20 minutes with five to 10 minutes recovery between efforts.
Aerobic tension: Trains aerobic strength. Picture a very long, moderate climb. Keep your cadence in the 65 to 75 rpm range and your heart rate towards the top of your aerobic zone. Smoothly pedal for 20 to 60 minutes using these parameters. This workout is a lot harder than it may seem at first and is highly productive.
Power bursts: These are the first phase of power training. Using a high cadence and resistance, pedal as hard as you can for 10 seconds. At the end of the interval, your legs should be very fatigued and ready to quit on you. Recover for 10 minutes and repeat four to eight times.
Power intervals: These are more sustained and build aerobic capacity. Using a high cadence (over 100 rpm) and high resistance, pedal as hard as you can for one to four minutes. Recover for an equal length and repeat three to six times.
Endurance spinning: Perform this at 5 rpm below your maximum sustainable cadence and hold your cadence for 10 to 60 minutes. You may need to start off with a shorter duration and increase each workout.
Spin ups: Spin up quickly to your maximum sustainable cadence and then let it drop 20 rpm. Repeat this eight to 12 times

One leg spinning: This is one of my favorites, this helps you peddle in full circles. After you are warmed up clip in one leg and peddle making sure you push down and pull up with your foot to make a full circle. Do this for one minute and then change to the other side. Repeat for four to eight times per leg.

Now that you have the routines all you need now is a trainer. Prohoists and Ships in a Day have got you covered. With its internal magnet system for a quiet ride and larger-than-average 3 in. roller the Overdrive bike trainer is the only trainer you will need.

PWC Slings


The date was the summer of 1955 and the Vincent Motorcycle Company marketed the propeller-driven 200cc Amanda Water Scooter. A few years later a Southern California inventor Clayton Jacobson II built the first known standup Jet-Ski model. Jacobson’s aluminum-hulled, rigid-hand pole unit morphed into a sit-down craft in the process of his collaboration with snowmobile manufacturer Bombardier, primarily due to the Bombardier engine. Jacobson continued development of the standup, but was not able to take his ideas to market as long as Bombardier retained the rights. When Bombardier pulled out of the market, Jacobson went straight to Kawasaki. Jacobson prototype was by this time fiberglass and sported his patented pivoting hand pole and the now-famous self-righting ability. Kawasaki and Jacobson clicked this time, and the Kawasaki Jet Ski®, the first commercially successful PWC was born.
Over the years, PWC's have changed from short lightweight stand up models to 12', 4 passenger, screaming fast, floating couches. But what is amazing is that the PWC lifting slings have not evolved with the new huge PWCs. That is until Prohoists developed one of the largest, longest and strongest PWC slings on the market. The 1500 lb pwc sling with its super strong 2” wide and 4’ long polyester web straps (one of the longest in the market) offers more stability for longer hulls.Prohoists offers several models to fit the original short lightweight jet skis of the 1980's or the latest model PWC's. Prohoists slings fit Kawasaki Jet Ski, Seadoo, Yamaha waverunner, and Honda. Of course all of Prohoists slings are Rubber coated for your PWC protection.
Compare the Prohoists PWC sling to others and you will soon find out not only is it one of the strongest slings, but also one of the best priced! So mosey on over to www.prohoists.com or to www.shipsinaday.com and check out this and all the great products there.

Bike Repair Stands


Let’s face it, its tough out there. You have had to cut back on your lattes, maybe even cutting out going to the movies. Maybe you are riding your bike more and you are in need of doing some repairs to your bike. There are How-to-Books on “Do it your self bike repair”, but one thing a book won’t have is a work stand for use as you repair your bike. Let’s look at the different types of bicycle stands and what to look for before you purchase one.

When considering which bike work or repair stand to purchase there are a few elements that should not be overlooked. First your budget may be the predominant factor in deciding which type of cycle work stand you ultimately purchase. Bike stands range in price from $50 on up toward $300. Once your budget has been determined, it’s time to dive in and see what features are most important and cannot be compromised.
The first feature we want to look at is how stable is the bike repair stand? The last thing you want to worry about while you are working on your bike is if the stand will fall over or not. Let’s face it, who wants their $3,000 bike to fall over on them while they are doing a repair job; any takers?
The next feature we will look at is portability. For many people the ability to bring their stand with them as they go on a road trip is important. Most of the portable style cycle stands are actually more expensive and sometimes less sturdy as well.
Clamp quality is a big concern as well. The professional grade bicycle work stand options have the best quality clamps. You need to consider how big your down tube is and can the clamp be easily adjusted to fit any size bike that you may need to work on.
This may seem like a lot to consider but your in luck, I have the answer! Prohoists Bike repair Stands. These stands feature a large spring loaded clamp that fit most down tubes. They come in a sturdy work shop model and a foldable model. These stands are light weight and strong, capable of holding up to 90 lbs! Affordable….you bet!! I wont even tell you the price because you wouldn’t believe me. What you need to do is go to www.prohoists.com and see for your self. Good luck and happy riding!
