This weekend I decided to check out the Fred Hall Boat Show in Long Beach.  I had heard about the show for the last couple of years.  At first I dismissed it since I don’t really care about fishing, but my buddies kept saying it doesn’t matter, “It’s a man’s show”.  Ok, I thought I’d see what it’s all about.

As an avid camper and four wheeler I was pleasantly surprised and really thinking about it I shouldn’t have been.  Whether fishing. camping, hunting, or four wheeling we all have one thing in common.  We love the outdoors.  I decided to approach the show with a focus on items I would be interested in.  Immediately I spotted Turner’s Outdoors which had a huge section in the back of the exhibitor’s hall.  Yes, they had mostly fishing related items, but they also exhibited knives and guns.

After killing some time at Turner’s I scoped out the isles to see what else I’d be interested in for camping or four wheeling.  Turns out there were quite a few exhibitors that had items I enjoyed seeing.  There were items from Lance Campers, Lowrance GPS, Garmin. Engel refrigerators, and Yakima to name a few.

Next year if you’re interested in a good day of seeing new products for the outdoors don’t hesitate to check out  Fred Hall.  For more information you can visit the website at www.fredhall.com
