Every month they include an info card detailing the items and their values.
This month featured the second Nomadik Instagram challenge. Participants are eligible to win a Speaqua speaker! This challenge remains an awesome idea, but unfortunately, I didn’t receive my box until a week after the contest ended. Hopefully, some other subscribers got it in time!
PowerPractical Luminoodle – Value $19.99
The first item this month is the Luminoodle! If you were paying attention to camping stuff on Kickstarter a few years ago, you may have already heard of this. I actually received one as a gift this past Christmas, and I am really pleased to have a second! The Luminoodle is basically a waterproof strip of USB-powered LED lighting with several built-in hanging options. I use this with my hammock when camping - it runs the length of my rain fly and lights up my entire area easily. I’ve also laid this on a picnic table to light up a cooking prep area, and have wrapped it around trees to give off a little ambient lighting. I didn’t realize until looking at the website, but apparently, you can throw the Luminoodle into the carry bag to make a lantern, which is pretty cool!
I attached a standard USB battery in the photos so you can see how much light they throw off.
They also include a 25% off coupon for future noodles or the battery pack/light (which I already own - definitely worth the investment.)
Slipstream / Reelhouse 3-Month Subscription – Value $14.97
Up next this month is a 3-month subscription to Slipstream from Reelhouse. Slipstream is billed as “The Netflix for Adventure Films” and features lots of movies starring your favorite athletes and outdoors people. I perused the selection a bit (there is currently no search tool) and it seems pretty cool! I’ll probably watch a few of these in the next 3 months - though it is peak outdoors time!
NiteIze CamJam – Value $7 ($6.68 on Amazon)
The NiteIze CamJam is a cool little gadget for easy tightening of lighter loads. If you’re not confident in your knot ability, or just want to quickly get camp set up, these little guys will make things a breeze. I used these two to lash a Zrest to the outside of my pack and they held firm despite some pretty heavy bumping, and I know I’ll be able to reuse them should I want to hang a tarp or clothesline at camp. They don’t weigh much and with the time-saving benefit, they are a welcome addition to my pack!
Mountainsmith Tent Stakes – Value $9.95
Finally this month, we have a set of 8 stakes from Mountainsmith. Mountainsmith has a great reputation for outdoor gear, and these stakes are no exception. While I am partial to my MSR mini groundogs, I decided to give these a go and was not disappointed! They are large but not heavy, and the scoop shape really helps these stakes stay firm. I love the hooked tips - definitely held line with no slippage! I decided to keep these with my car camp kit because they are light and will always come in handy.
Verdict: Nomadik knocked it out of the park this month! I’m going to get a ton of use out of everything here. I love the Luminoodle and the CamJams are such a smart inclusion. They promise “up to $50 worth” of items in each box, and the value of everything this month adds up to $51.59. That exceeds the monthly $30 price tag by a lot, much more than last month. As usual, looking forward to next month’s box!
