72 NEBRASKAland • JUNE 2017 Despite having car, wall, and even solar-powered cell phone chargers, I still make sure my myCharge isn't far away. With adaptors for both Droid and Apple products, this charger goes with me on trips to the park with my kids or trips to the fishing boat with friends and family. It's small, light-weight, and can fit in my pocket. myCharge.com. T hrough the years I have found it is increasingly difficult to endorse new outdoor products from companies unless I have spent considerably more time vetting them than normally allowed. A company will showcase a new item, but then want nearly immediate results on whether or not that item warranted a review. I have since ceased replying in short order to these companies. I want to give readers something that stands the test of time. With that in mind, the following list of items are products that have become part of my day-to-day life, those objects that not only looked good out of the box, but have proven to be essential to my outdoor pursuits. ■ Billed as the world's toughest coffeemaker, the COFFEEBOXX works with all K-Cup®-compatible pods. With a 2.5 liter removable water tank, what I like most about this coffeemaker is its separate hot- water line, which can provide hot water for a variety of purposes in less than 40 seconds. It's a must- have for the deer camp cabin. Oxx.com. I have filled up an entire NEBRASKAland Recycled Journal Book and recently purchased another. With 100 sheets of lined pages and measuring 5.62 by 7 inches, it's my go-to "I have to write this down" journal when afield or sitting at the house. The "What I Continue to Use" Product Review These items have stood the test of time. By Jeff Kurrus This winter, I repeatedly used a Colorado-manufactured camouflage Fishmask to keep my face and neck warm during ice-fishing season, then used that same product to cover my face from an approaching tom during spring turkey season. Featuring bandanas, single and double-layered tubes and balaclavas in a variety of color patterns, these moisture-wicking products from Fishmask have become part of my everyday outdoor supplies year-round.
