Finding the Right Children's Luggage

Piling your children’s belongings on top of your own in your suitcase might have worked when your child was a toddler, but as your child gets older, it’s much easier to purchase luggage for your children than to try to squeeze clothes, toys and toiletries in with your own things. On top of that, allowing them to be at least somewhat responsible for packing and carrying (or rather, pulling) their own bags is a good way to make them feel important and teach them to be a little more independent and responsible.

Children’s luggage no longer consists of the basic black or blue luggage you may have had as a child, either. Today, children’s luggage has become a toy in and among itself. Brightly colored and decorated with animals, fairies, cars, or any number of their favorite television characters, the luggage becomes a source of entertainment during the journey and something your child will be proud to be responsible for.

Make sure that, in addition to selecting luggage that is fun and brightly colored, you also look for quality pieces. Rolling luggage is vital, or else you will quickly find yourself carrying your child’s luggage in addition to your own. Hard sided luggage is also ideal, since the luggage may have to withstand a high level of wear and tear as your child navigates the airport terminal.

Camping Essential: the Platypus Soft Water Bottle

 
When you are getting ready for your next camping trip, try something a little different. Throw away your canteen. It's heavy, bulky, and most of the time swings lifelessly from your pack. This isn't just wasting space, it's an offset to your balance.  Try packing a Platypus collapsible water bottle, its 80% lighter than a hard water bottle and just as durable. One of the most important things when packing for a camping trip is to be space concious and hydration conscious. A collapsible (soft) water bottle does both.

This particular model available on Tamperseal.com is eco friendly, made with zero BPA, so your water (assuming its properly filtered) is guaranteed to have a crisp clean taste to it.  The bottle itself holds about 34 oz (or 1 Liter) of liquid and is tapered at the bottom, so you can set it down on the ground, or even in a cup holder of your collapsible chair. When you're done with the soft water bottle it's simply a matter of rolling it up and shoving it into a pocket of your backpack, or sliding the absolutely soft water bottle down the side of the main backpack cavity.  For more information about the collapsible water bottle visit TamperSeal.com.

Easterbasket Essential: Cocoon IPAD Messenger Sling with GRID-IT Organizer

For this Easter season Tamperseal wants to bring you our spring favorites that we would recommend as great Easterbasket gifts. The first item that no one should be without on their travels this Easter is a good IPAD Organizer-and for that we recommend the Cocoon IPAD Messenger Sling with GRID-IT Organizer. It's pretty much the carry all for your electronics. The Cocoon features an interior pocket designed to protect and hold an IPAD, and an exterior pocket that has a see through interactive window so you can protect your smart phone or media player and still interact with it (bonus: it has an earphone port so you can listen to your favorite tunes on the go).

  
 

But that's not all.

It also features a GRID-IT, a utility pad that has slip resistant elastic of all sizes interwoven on each other, allowing for the perfect storage of usb cables, phone chargers, sunglasses, pens, pencils and even a tube of perfume (or cologn for the gentleman).  This is a great gift for any age, and is perfect for virtually any form of travel (except scuba diving, sorry, not waterproof).

Portable Travel Shelves

Traveling frequently for business can get pretty time consuming with all the packing and unpacking that needs to be done. It was only a matter of time before someone came up with a better way, and that's exactly the case with the Portable Travel Shelves, aka Shelves to go. Designed by a traveling business professional for the travelling business professional, these expandable shelves hang in your closet while you pack, and collapse conveniently as you lower them into a suitcase. This comes in two sizes, medium and large, so you have enough room for any length of trip.

 

I took this on a trip to the other coast to see the in-laws last weekend and was pretty impressed with it. I packed the heaviest of my personal affects into my suitcase (my laptop, some books, a hairdryer) since they wouldn't be hung up anyway. Next I started to load the portable shelves with jeans and business slacks on the bottom, shirts and dresses on the top, and undergarments on the top. This part was easy. The clothes hung solidly on the shelves and didn't tip at all.

The tricky part was lowering the shelves into my suitcase (which has a top like a duffle bag). In order to avoid spilling all my packed clothes onto the bed I lowered the Portable Travel Shelves tilted with the backside first. After the first shelf was resting on the bottom of the suitcase the rest was easy.

As a frequent traveler and avid organizer I highly recommend this product. It's affordable, durable, and sure to last many many trips, or maybe just years in your closet doubling as an extra set of shelves.

Packing for Disaster Relief

When disaster strikes the whole world moves to help. Neighbors, friends, and families across all nations band together to strengthen countries in need. Humanity is natural when your human, and its the grounds for creating heroes, selfless beings sacrificing their personal time, money and emotions for the sake of a community that has lost everything. Now more than ever the world needs to support one another, to go and help, whether it's pulling survivors from wreckage, distributing food to refugees, or rebuilding a house that was swept away.

Getting involved in disaster relief is easier than you think. RedCross.org  offers free training to anyone who wants to be certified for any situation, from disaster response to first aid. They will offer the tools you need to get started, we can help with getting you packed and ready to go.

There are three things you need to consider when packing for disaster relief. The first is environment. What kind of weather are you going to expect? WeatherReports.com is a good source for deciphering the average temperature and climate, as well as determining what it's going to be like when you arrive at your destination. Environmental issues also need to be considered before you go. What kind of a disaster was this? Volcanic eruptions will affect how many layers of clothing you need to bring, as well as burn resistance. Flooding will require breathable, easily dried layers. Areas affected by air strikes will require tougher, impact resistant clothing like leather jackets.

Next you need to consider how long you are going to stay. Pack a little more than your length of time, just in case you need to go through multiple pairs of clothes in a day. If you have access to laundry facilities, pack enough for 8 days, if it will be a while between washings, pack for 10.

The last thing to be considered is the type of labor you will be doing. Medical response, rescue, shelter support and reconstruction all require clothing you can easily move in, but the differences may mean jeans and khaki's, or sweaters and T-Shirts (If you are being sponsored by an organization they will probably provide specialized gear).

So how do you pack for something like this? First you are going to need a reliable backpack. TamperSeal.com recommends the Pacsafe Day Safe Secure Day Pack. It's lightweight yet roomy enough to hold a weeks worth of clothing and supplies, and it features a security system to ward off pickpockets and bag slashers. The bag is made of weather resistant 840 ballistic nylon. On the outside are three mesh pockets (one of which can be buckled) and two straps for a tent,  sleeping bag or blanket. The inside has a main cavity with removable pack. This pack is expandable and contains a stainless steel drawstring that seals with padlock and key, keeping your items safe.

Other items you should bring:

• compression packers (to preserve space)
• Watertight travel pouch (for storing a camera or cell phone)
• Germbana (to guard against airborne germs)
• TSA Compliant BodyWash Sheets
• Blankets
• Tent
• Toolkit
• First Aid kit
• Poncho
• Water Purification Device
