The products that I tried exceeded my expectations. Each one being more than I thought it would be.
First The Bolt 18L Backpack
This backpack is lightweight and so comfortable. I like that even after hours of having it on, it still felt lightweight and didn't cause my shoulders or back to hurt. It has a lot of room in it, and has a hole at the top for a water bladder if you want to add one. I chose to bring bottled water on our hike to share, and it wasn't heavy at all!
The Bolt also has two straps to help distribute heavier loads, one of which goes across your chest and the other around your waist. For our hike the waist strap was not needed and I liked where the chest strap laid. Other backpacks lay too low, and make it very uncomfortable, where this one was just right.
I have used this backpack on several occasions other than hiking. It is great loaded with everything you might need for hiking, to adventures out with the kids. There are no drawbacks to owning the Bolt 18L backpack it is amazing and will be used for several years to come.
The next item we were privileged to try was a flint starter. This is a handy, light weight item that provides piece of mind when hiking or camping. It also makes an excellent addition to any survival kit and stores very nicely in the Bolt 18L backpack. You don't have to worry about matches getting wet, or a lighter not working. One thing I can say for sure is that this starter put out more sparks than any other starter I've ever seen. Starting a fire is quick and easy as seen in the photos below. Just gather some dry material together, make a little tinder bundle and while applying medium pressure, just slide the striker down the flint stick and watch the sparks fly.
Lastly, my favorite new hoodie, the Kittwake Womens Hoodie.
It is so soft, and comfortable, that I would seriously wear it everyday! There is just something about how it fits and the softness of it, that my other sweatshirts don't compare!
The sizing chart is different than a US chart, our sweatshirts are S,M,L, but they have made it easy with this chart.

I want to apologize for taking so long to write this review. I received these products right after returning from a camping and hiking trip and didn't get the opportunity until last weekend to use the products out in nature. The items were given to me, but all opinions are honest and my own.
