I’ve been using some RoundHouse Provisions products for a few months now. They’ve been quite beneficial in my overall health and energy level.
I’m happy to share my experience with the Morning Kick, Basecamp Complete and Survival Mode Emergency Ration Bars. Let’s go!
About RoundHouse
First off, RoundHouse is a Chuck Norris gig. How cool is that? Chuck Norris is a legend and idol for many. The goal with RoundHouse, which makes emergency provisions and supplements, is to make sure you’re always prepped and ready. Now I am!
Morning Kick
Morning Kick is a refreshing, nutrient-packed drink that aims to jumpstart your day, and it’s become a staple in my daily routine. Whether I’m gearing up for a day on the golf course or a long road trip to my next favorite course, I need something that fuels both my body and mind. This blend features a combination of probiotics, ashwagandha, and other essential nutrients designed to support digestion and stress management—exactly what the body needs when navigating life’s challenges, like finding out on the fist green that the surfaces have been aerated. The taste is a pleasant surprise, with a smooth flavor that’s easy to mix with water. It’s the kind of morning boost that keeps me clear-headed and energized throughout a round, without the jitters or crash that sometimes come with coffee.
For the avid golfer like myself, maintaining focus and keeping the body fueled is crucial—especially during those early tee times or long days in the sun. Morning Kick offers more than just hydration; it provides the necessary elements to stay in peak condition. I’ve noticed an overall improvement in my digestion and energy levels since incorporating it into my routine. The convenience is key too—just toss a packet into your golf bag, and you’re set. Whether it’s a weekday practice session or a weekend tournament, Morning Kick fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, giving me the confidence to perform at my best on and off the course.
Basecamp Complete
Basecamp Complete is the perfect solution for those who demand both convenience and nutrition, whether you’re hiking a challenging trail or just navigating the daily grind. As a golfer who’s often on the move, I’m always looking for quick, wholesome meal options that don’t sacrifice taste for convenience, and Basecamp Complete delivers exactly that. It’s packed with 24 grams of protein and a variety of vitamins and minerals, designed to keep you full and fueled without the need for a complicated meal prep. The flavor is surprisingly satisfying, and it mixes easily with water or milk, making it an ideal choice when you’re short on time or out on the course. I’ll totally trick it out and throw in a banana, spinach, some frozen strawberries and ice into my blender. What a fantastic breakfast!
When I’m prepping for a full day on the links, having a go-to meal that’s easy to pack and provides sustained energy is essential. Basecamp Complete fits that need, especially on those early mornings when breakfast can be rushed. I’ve found it to be a great addition to my routine, keeping me sharp and focused as I work through my round. And for those long trips or weekend golf getaways, it’s easy to toss in the bag, ensuring I’m always prepared with a healthy option. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or just looking for a reliable meal replacement, Basecamp Complete is a solid choice that complements an active, on-the-go lifestyle.
Survival Mode Emergency Ration Bar
Survival Mode Emergency Ration Bars have become a must-have for my outdoor adventures, whether I’m hiking or tackling tough mountain bike trails. These bars are designed to provide essential calories and nutrients when you need them the most. One time while mountain biking, I found myself completely drained after a long, grueling climb in intense heat. I felt lightheaded and almost sick from the effort. That’s when I reached for one of these bars—it gave me the quick energy boost I needed to continue the ride without losing momentum. With 410 calories per bar, these bars pack a punch in a compact size, perfect for fitting into a hiking backpack, golf bag, or a mountain bike pack.
What really sets these ration bars apart is how easily they fit into my active lifestyle. Whether I’m on a day hike, walking 18 on a local mountain course, or grinding through a mountain biking session, having a reliable source of energy is essential. The flavor is surprisingly good for an emergency food, and I like knowing I have something solid to fall back on when my energy reserves are running low. The fact that these bars are designed to withstand extreme conditions makes them even more dependable when you’re pushing yourself to the limit outdoors. Survival Mode Emergency Ration Bars have become a key part of my gear, offering peace of mind and the fuel I need to keep going, no matter the challenge. I also like the fact that the bars don’t melt in the heat. What a pain that can be when your energy bar melts and gets messy and hard to manage!
Final Thoughts
Knowing that these fantastic products come from Chuck Norris himself makes them even more special. I’ve relied on his Morning Kick, Basecamp Complete, and Survival Mode bars to fuel my outdoor adventures, and they’ve made a real difference when I’ve needed them the most. One day, I hope to meet Chuck and personally thank him for creating such reliable, high-quality products that have become staples in my hiking, biking, and golfing routines. They’re more than just convenient—they’re a game-changer for anyone who leads an active lifestyle.
When it comes to coolers, Igloo has long been the top dog (ok… “dawg”), but now they’ve taken it up a notch with their first-ever golf-inspired collection, thanks to a collaboration with premium lifestyle brand, TravisMathew. As someone who spends plenty of time on the golf course, in the mountains and at football tailgates, I couldn’t wait to test out these babies. After several weeks of use, including three football tailgates, some mountain biking, two camping trips, and even a pool party, I can confidently say these coolers deliver.
The Collection
First Impressions
Right out of the box, this collection screams premium quality. Igloo’s signature durability is combined with TravisMathew’s style. Of course, golf-specific features immediately caught my attention. The collection offers something for every type of activity: softside coolers built with golf tee slots and divot fixers, and even a Playmate cooler that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. Whether you’re at the golf course or the tailgate, these coolers are designed to blend in while standing out.
Cart Jockey Tote Cooler Bag
If you’re serious about keeping your beverages cool, the Cart Jockey Tote Cooler Bag is a day-changer. With space for up to 25 cans, this is a unit. A BEAST. At the pool party I brought this bag to the guests were dazzled by how many frosty beverages I was able to pull out of it. Not only did it hold a serious number of drinks, but the insulation kept them ice-cold all day/night long.
On one of my mountain biking trips, this bag held up great, keeping my drinks super cold for hours in the hot back of my car. When I returned I was greeted with ice cold rewards for a great day of riding.
KoolTunes® Cooler
Perhaps the crown jewel of this collection is the KoolTunes® Cooler, a cooler with built-in Bluetooth speakers which is perfect for tailgating, camping, or even just hanging out by the pool. I’ve brought this handy bluetooth speaker cooler to three football tailgates, and counting.
The sound quality is solid, and it pumps out music for hours—I went through almost nine hours of tunes without needing to charge it once. If you’re like me and love having a soundtrack for your adventures, this is the cooler to get. Setup with my iPhone was super easy. I was cranking prog-rock in less than 30 seconds.
Save One For Later Little Playmate
The Save One for Later Little Playmate® Cooler may be compact, but it packs a punch when it comes to functionality. With a 7-quart capacity, it comfortably fits up to nine cans, making it the perfect companion for quick rounds of golf, a day at the pool, or a casual hangout at the park.
Despite its smaller size, this cooler doesn’t skimp on performance—it keeps drinks cold for hours, just like its larger counterparts. The iconic Playmate design is a nod to Igloo’s retro roots, while the TravisMathew collaboration brings a modern twist with stylish details.
One trick I do with this littler cooler, is half-freeze a couple of water bottles. They serve as the ice and keep the contents cold. Plus I have some really cold water available!
Final Thoughts
Igloo and TravisMathew have absolutely nailed it with this collaboration. Whether you’re a golfer, tailgater, camper, or just someone who likes to keep their drinks cold, these coolers are functional, stylish, and built to last. The golf-specific features are a nice bonus, but what really impresses me is how well these products hold up across different outdoor activities. They’ve earned a permanent spot in my gear rotation.
Final Thoughts
If you’re in the market for a cooler that’s as ready for the course as it is for the tailgate, this collection is the one to beat. There’s a size, style, and feature set for every possible need you’ll have out there.
Disclaimer
In no way do I condone playing music on a bluetooth speaker on the golf course. Peoples’ music selections are always so awful. That is, unless it is MY music choice, then it’s all good. 🙂
Spent some time up in beautiful Logan, Utah yesterday for a little old football game. Being the opportunist that I am, I took advantage and visited Logan River Golf Course with one of my roughly 30 drones. It was a nice time of day too, around sunset. Enjoy a few pics.
It has been a while since I did a bonehead award, but I think shattering your wife’s ankle with a driver shot qualifies..
Here’s the truth @AdamSchefter the whole truth and nothing but the guilt-ridden brutal truth! My wife is one amazing, tough woman. And she has not for one second pinned this on me. Or added to my mental load. While I have. Fluke stuff. Probably lucky it wasn’t worse! pic.twitter.com/1SCEhJv3t7

Golf is as much about style as it is about skill, and when you find a shirt that not only feels great but also brings a bit of personality to the game, it’s worth talking about. Enter the CON.STRUCT Green Hotdog Dog Polo, a shirt that has climbed the ranks in my diverse golf wardrobe.
First Impressions
When I first laid eyes on the CON.STRUCT Green Hotdog Dog Polo, I couldn’t help but grin. Golf fashion has its classics—solid colors, stripes, and the occasional argyle—but it’s rare to find a shirt that manages to be both fun and functional. This polo features a subtle yet playful hotdog dog pattern, and it’s the kind of design that makes you do a double-take, then chuckle when you realize what’s going on. It’s not just for show, though—this shirt putts for dough.
On the Course
The true test of any golf shirt is how it performs on the course, and the CON.STRUCT polo passed with flying colors, pun intended. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, perfect for those hot days on the links. It wicks moisture away, keeping you dry and comfortable throughout the round. Plus, the fit is just right—not too tight, not too loose, allowing for a full range of motion without looking sloppy.
I took it for a spin during my last white spheroid hitting session, and not only did I get a few compliments, but I also noticed how well it held up after a full day. No clinging, no sagging, just a solid performance all around. If only my game was that solid.
A Conversation Starter
Let’s be honest—golfers love to talk about gear almost as much as they love to talk about their swings. The Green Hotdog Dog Polo is a conversation starter. Whether it’s on the tee box or at the 19th hole, people notice this shirt. It’s a great way to break the ice, share a laugh, and even make a new friend or two.
Sizes
Sizes range from small to XXXL. There’s one that’s right for you. I found the fit to be true.
Final Thoughts
Golf is supposed to be fun, and your gear should reflect that. The CON.STRUCT Green Hotdog Dog Polo brings a lighthearted vibe to your golf wardrobe without sacrificing performance. It’s comfortable, stylish, and durable—everything you want in a golf shirt, with a side of humor. If you’re looking to add a little personality to your game, this shirt is a hole-in-one.
Wish List
If only they made a Corgi version… Then I could take my best pal Bugsy the Corgi with me wherever I go. 🙂
