When summer comes around, one of the main things on everyone’s mind is going swimming, whether in a back yard pool or at the lake or river. Now that we have plastics everywhere, a lot of stuff floats. So this is softer and more flexible than a wood raft or wharf, and you can roll it up and take it with you where you go. It’s a floating floor, and it can be used in lakes, rivers and pools.
Maybe you can tow it behind a powerboat on the lake, too? Or go down the river floating on it with friends. Or you can put your snorkeling stuff on it (but just be careful it doesn’t fall in!)
A couple of points for using these. A flotation device like these, no matter how big, doesn’t replace a life jacket. A life jacket is made so that it will hold your head above water even if you’re unconscious, so you can continue to breathe.

Camping Hacks, Tips and Tricks
Going camping doesn’t need to be a costly venture nor put a dent in your pocketbook. With just a little innovation you can re-purpose everyday household items to reuse instead of buying new ones. A few inexpensive food storage containers from your cabinet, extra blankets from your linen closet and a cooler is all you need to enjoy a few nights under the stars.
You also might just discover that some of these tricks and hacks may also benefit you in your home in making everyday life a little simpler. With recycling and reusing everyday objects, creating a DIY survival kit can be as simple as reusing an old back pack and filling it a little at a time with non-perishables each time you make a trip to the grocery store.
