DECEMBER 2015 • NEBRASKAland 57 T hroughout the year NEBRASKAland Magazine tests a number of products so you don't have to. Here is a list of some of the best we've come across in 2015. ■ NEBRASKAland Magazine freelancer Mark Harris's coffee table book Rodeo Nebraska chronicles Mark's travels across the state – 82 events in 62 separate locations – in search of everything rodeo. And while Mark's photos are the main feature in this 240-page publication, his words are the real star here, guiding the reader into the rodeo world that is so important to so many Nebraskans. Rodeonebraskabook.com. Christmas Gift Ideas Even more ways to spread holiday cheer to your outdoor enthusiast. Reviewed by Jeff Kurrus While my colleague Eric Fowler promoted STABILicers Maxx ice cleats in our November edition, I'm fonder of a little more aggressive ice fishing option – the Hillsound Trail Crampon Ultra. Slipping is not an option in these strap-on versions, and they give me something I've never had before when walking on slick ice – peace of mind. Hillsound.com. I quickly became a fan of Wood n' Stream boots a little more than a year ago when I started wearing them quail hunting. Then I began wearing them fishing, then bow hunting and now working around the house. With their durability and comfort, they've become my go-to boot for all situations. And now I'm introducing their line of odor-control boots, including a 2,040 gram Thinsulate model, that will be just as important during muzzleloader season as my rifle itself. See their complete line at Weinbrennerusa.com. Timex's Expedition Sierra Rugged Field Chrono watch has a traditional look that allows me to wear it either in the woods or at a dinner party. Stylish and rugged, the watch is shock resistant, water resistant up to 100 meters and features a night-light. See their complete line of watches, including the Expedition Grid Shock model, at Timex.com. With wall and car chargers in every direction, I never would have fathomed any sustained use for the myCharge All Terrain portable unit for my cell phone and iPad. Boy, was I wrong. Compatible with both iPhone and Android devices, this charger has become my go-to on frosty mornings in the deer stand when my phone drains quicker than I need it to. Shop.mycharge.com.
