Coleman Gear

Bugsy took some time to wander the aisles of Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City to check out some of the hot, new products from Coleman®. He stopped by Coleman Watches, Coleman Luggage, Coleman Trail Food, Coleman Outboard Motors, Coleman Socks, Coleman Apparel and Coleman Kayaks to check out some of the latest-and-greatest.

Here are a few snapshots…

Splashing Around in The Dells

The Can — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:17:02 +0000

Bugsy visited “The Waterpark Capital of the World” during his 2010 Independence Day Campground Tour. He took in all the big attractions during his stay in Wisconsin Dells, including the Original Wisconsin Ducks, Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park and Top Secret. He also stopped by the Noah’s Ark and the Tommy Bartlett Show.

Rumor has it Bugsy took a ride down a gigantic water slide, but we still have yet to find photographic evidence. We’ll keep searching.

Here are a few snapshots from Bugsy’s visit in Wisconsin Dells.

8 Easy Steps to Complete Mosquito Protection

The Can — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 18:24:34 +0000

The weather is getting warmer, and that can mean many things. When thinking about warmer weather, you think of lazy days by the pool, bonfires at night and being active. At Coleman Repellents, we see it a little differently.

We see mosquito season.

And trust us – they’re coming. So, in the meantime, here are eight easy things you can do to make your home protected from the inevitable invasion of those pesky, blood-sucking bugs.

Keep mosquitoes from breeding by emptying or covering any receptacles around the home that can pool water. This is crucial in spring time when rain is more prevalent.
Gutters should be kept clean so water flows properly.
Change the water in birdbaths every few days.
Cover wading pools, hot tubs and outdoor saunas.
Make your local health department aware of standing water in your area.
When outdoors, wear protective clothing when appropriate.
Loose, long-sleeve shirts and long pants, shoes and socks all help to keep insects from contact with your skin.
Keep the colors light as mosquitoes are more attracted to darker hues.

Protecting yourself from biting insects is not only convenient for you and your loved ones, it could save your life! The CDC provides a thorough look here at diseases spread by mosquitoes.

Make sure you put these items on your to-do list for this summer, and don’t forget the repellent!

Spring Fever

The Can — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 03:27:57 +0000

It may be cold in most parts of the country, but Bugsy’s getting ready for a summer full of camping and outdoor fun. What are your plans for this summer? Is this the year you take the cross-country roadtrip? Perhaps a weeklong vacation in a national park? Or maybe a weekend camping adventure with the family?

Bugsy wants to know your plans for the summer. Share your story or send us a picture. We’ll send you some product for your efforts!

Snow Day

The Can — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:32:49 +0000

Look around most parts of the country today, and you’ll see one thing in common….SNOW!

Seems like everyone — even our friends in Georgia and Texas — are getting hit with the white, fluffy stuff. If you find yourself snowed in this winter, here are some fun family activities to consider from the folks at Disney Family Fun.

Now get outside and enjoy some winter fun!
