I don’t know about any of you , but myself, I really enjoy every kind of gadget. I think I am verging on being a bit of an addict actually . obviously there are a large number of distinct types around that you can buy . Some for your house , or portable tech for taking out and about on your personage , or to use in your car , etc. But amongst the types which I have been most excited about recently is waterproof gadgets. Just as with techt in general , there exist many diverse kinds of waterproof gadgets on the market , and in actual fact most bits of technology could be made waterproof . The reason that I have been very engaged with these kind of things in recent days is due to the fact that my other passion is travelling: I love to get away to new countries and make the most of relaxing on my vacations , and as I am penning this article it is just that time of the year   when my thoughts are occupied with going abroad on my travels .

Waterproof gadgets are ideal for taking away with you on your holiday , because you can tak pleasure in being able to use them by the sea , or by the pool , or wherever you visit without having to worry about ruining them.

And it is possible to go further than this . There are some excellent cameras and camcorders around that you can use submersed in water if you were to go swimming , for a snorkel or diving in a place which has beautiful corals or colorful exotic fishes . A company named ‘Liquid Image’ do a very good product that is built into a regular face make . For more information take a quick peek at these articles about the best waterproof camcorder and the best waterproof camera.

A handy tip for people who already have a high quality camera or camcorder is that you do not need to get a different one because you can simply get them a waterproof case which clips onto your gadgets and seals it to keep it protexted . The same principle applies to most other things . You can buy a transparent casing for an ipad or your phone , for example.

This skeptical engineer has some important questions about Royal Purple Motor Oil .  Before I go pouring something into my engine I want to be sure I am not creating an engine disaster in my fear of a catastrophic tossing of rod from a piston seizure .  I want my engine to be protected as the first priority and then I want better fuel economy and more horsepower .

With that said a few questions come to mind about  royal purple motor oil.

Why is the oil purple?   My understanding is the color is a dye that is added which provides no benefit to protect the engine and supposedly does not produce other lubrication issues .  I hope that is the case.  Just so you know the oil does not stay purple in your engine and does not turn your engine purple.

If Royal Purple’s #1 priority is to provide the best performance and protection for my engine I would expect the purple dye to be left out.

So why is the purple dye in there ?  Marketing and the almighty dollar !  I have nothing against savvy marketing or against companies being successful from innovative marketing but my interest is my engine protection and performance.  Let’s keep my engine safe and drop the purple dye.

Is this motor oil good for my regular everyday driver and my dragster ?  If you search Google on Royal Purple Moly you will find a lot of claims on the web and some documentation on their website that the oils do have Moly.  Moly is a dry graphite like lubricant and can work great by itself and as an additive to liquid oils. The problem is for extended time in an engine it is prone to balling up and fouling filters (so I am told).  This may be why royal purple is popular in some racing circles but that does not mean you can extend drain intervals for everyday use (in fact you might want to shorten them).  If you can’t run a synthetic for a little bit longer without losing protection then it is going to be hard to justify $6-$8 per quart.

Bottom line is this skeptical engineer needs to see some more information to make an educated decision on what is best.  I get worried when I see the really high levels of Moly being added and purple dye being added as a gimmick.  I admit that I am a bit of preventative maintenance junkie but I don’t want the misapplication of a racing tactic to cause long term damage to my engine.

Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water here and remember we want engine protection and longevity first and then , and only then, the extra few horsepower.

Oil manufacturers of Mobil 1, Pennzoil, Royal Purple etc… all say they are the best motor oil… but where is the real proof ?

Planning a canoeing or kayaking trip in Northern Ireland?  A terrific planning resource is canoeni.

“Northern Ireland has a lot to offer the recreational paddler,” notes the site.  “It has natural resources to cater for all aspects of canoeing and kayaking at all levels, from surf to white water to open and flat water paddling.”

Although the site is mainly oriented to canoeing, the Where to Paddle section will be of particular interest to portable kayaking enthusiasts.  This section offers maps of Northern Ireland, each showing locations for flat water, sea kayaking, kayak surfing, and white water.  

The maps allow the user to select a particular stretch of water and drill down for advance inside information about grade, water conditions, access and egression sites, points of interest, and local history.

Flat Water Kayaking Trips in Northern Ireland

The flat water sections, eminently suitable for recreational canoeing and kayaking, are mostly in the loughs (lakes), the Quoile Estuary in the east, and the Lower Bann and Blackwater Rivers.

Where to Go Sea Kayaking in Northern Ireland

Sea kayaking sites range from the tidal reaches along Donegal on the north down along the eastern coast to the overfalls and races at Carlingford Lough on the south.  There are islands to hop, rocks to skirt, caverns to explore on anything from a day trip to a challenging expedition.

Northern Ireland White Water Kayaking Trips

White water for canoeing and kayaking can be found throughout Northern Ireland, with runs mostly ranging from Class I to Class II, but with higher difficulties on specific rivers and stretches (the mountain spate river Glenam has Class IV-V stretches with large drops and heavy rapids, for example).  Many stretches have rapids and weirs to run.  Some of the weirs can be dangerous to fatal.

Kayak Surfing in Northern Ireland

For kayak surfing, head to the north coast.  “keen surf for all levels of experience from the beginner to the pro!” says canoingni.com.   The surf sites stretch in a narrow belt from Benone to White Park Bay. With the exception of White Park, the surf areas have nearby car parks (important if you’re toting an inflatable kayak), and most are within walking distance of a town so facilities are handy.

Countryside Recreation in Northern Ireland

This well-designed and functional web site is maintained by The Countryside Access and Activities Network (CAAN).  The CAAN was constituted in 1999 as a charitable organization mandated to provide strategic development, management and promotion of countryside recreation.  It serves as an umbrella organization, bringing together groups interested in or involved with Countryside Recreation in Northern Ireland.   

In addition to kayaking and canoeing, “countryside recreation” includes walking and hiking, climbing and “coasteering”, cycling and mountain biking, orienteering, and development and care of environmental trails.  Surely there’s a lot to do before and after a kayak expedition!

Anyone planning a portable kayaking trip to Northern Ireland can spend happy hours investigating and planning by simply checking in at canoeni.com.

Camping Cookware – After a long day nothing is better than dinner simmering on the campfire or camping stove. After walking miles and miles your legs are so tired you know you can’t walk another step, until you get a whiff of dinner. Hot steaks sizzling on the grill, a pan of your favorite foods bubbling away. or even just the aroma of a refreshing pot of coffee.

One thing to keep in mind when purchasing camping cookware is when you buy cheap, that’s exactly what you will get. So we recommend you stick with brand names you are familiar with. The last thing you need is for the handle to fall off during cooking over the campfire or a hot camping stove. Camping Cookware is an significant part of your camping gear.

We have found many sets of camping cookware are designed to fit inside each other for easy transport. These are great when your hiking and backpacking. Select camping cookware sets that are long-lasting enough for use in the most demanding, remote locations. We have heavy-duty cast iron camping cookware, stainless steel camp cooking gear, and a nice range of camp cooking accessories.

A lot of campers have a set of cookware just for camping because they don’t want to risk damaging their good kitchen set and it’s easier to keep all your camping gear organized and ready-to-go in big plastic bin(s). Kitchen cookware usually won’t last long in the field anyway. Camp cooking outdoors can be a lot more demanding than what most kitchen utensils are made for.

Heavy duty camping cookware is not only a good idea, it’s almost a necessity. If you’re camping cooking and your only pan cracks or burns through making it unusable, you’re either going to have to find a way to use tin foil creatively.

Remember to get camping cookware with tight-fitting lids to help heat food on your camping stove more quickly and to help save fuel, this is especially important to hikers that carry everything.
