This Siege AA Lantern light is a tool for all seasons and all emergency and outdoor reasons.

APtravelnews-Product reviews October 29th, 2015-Over the past few years I have featured several flashlights and battery powered lighting units and here’s another from StreamLight: The Siege AA is a 6-inch high light operating up to 36-hours on three AA size batteries. It offers three white powers and a red steady and blinking light as well. The base has 3-magnets that allow the light to be used as an auto-emergency blinker, it sticks strongly to any iron part on a vehicle. It has a top and bottom hanger hooks, can be dropped from 3-meters up, its IPX Waterproof and it floats. This light is for the outdoors-man and woman, campers, hikers, kayaker’s, hunters take heart; this is your light-period! On low light setting it can go for 37-hours straight on three AA batteries. I love that it floats, and is waterproof, but I also really like the fact that it can be an excellent red S.O.S emergency light that can save lives too! With Five modes of different operational abilities, this light is a must have in, or out of the home to light your way, in or out of emergencies during blackouts and from storm outages. Go: www.streamlight.com and also ask your sports store if they are available and if the salesman or owner says they don’t have it, ask “why not?”

APtravelnews-October 17th- Lake Point Resort State Park, near historic Eufaula, Alabama-Southeastern Outdoor Press Association 51st Annual Conference-As this exciting event winds down on its last day, Barb and I wanted to let our readers know about a few products and events that were part of the October 14th-17th conference. First up: Barb and I spend a lot of time boating and fishing, so a great pair of sunglasses is not a convenience, it’s a “must have.” Once again after about 4-years, we visited with Chris Nelson of Onos Trading Company, Mobile, AL. Polarized Performance Sunglasses . It was time for Barbara to update her eye-wear frame color, as we knew that Onos are “clearly superior sunglasses with more choices for reader power.” The glasses have “strong and better quality frames, lenses and grips than leading brands” according to Chris Nelson from Onos. These sunglasses have a lifetime warranty and offer Bifocal Readers in 5 add powers, Plano Lens with no Bifocal and they are Opthamalic Quality. With 4-different lens colors and coatings and a price point that is less and amazingly competitive with most of the high price spread glasses on the market so Barb opted for Onos!

P1030597

APtravelnews.com October 11th, Goose Holler’ Farm, TN.—As an Author, speaker, radio and videographer, Doug Kelly found the niche he was always looking for when he visited and then moved to the Florida keys. Although he no longer lives there, just like me; the Keys stays in your blood forever. This book explores that niche and he has done an admiral job of portraying a broad history of the men and women that found that the keys lived up to its reputation as the fishy paradise that dreams are made of for outdoor adventurer’s.

I feel lucky to have known some of these down to earth legends and at least a couple of pioneers as well. What this 336-page book allows you to do according to Doug:  “turning the pages transports you through remarkable eras and lets you trace the amazing footsteps of important personalities, colorful characters and talented experts who molded the remarkable history of sport fishing in the southernmost part of Sunshine State. Doug says that comments about the book are welcome at www.Floridasfishinglegends.com It’s a wonderful book!
