Ranger Review: Boost Oxygen at Edgar Evins State Park

Campground review:Edgar Evins State Park is easy to find right outside Silver Point, Tn. About 10 minutes from I40. An hour west to Nashville and you are in the big city again.

My first time to Edgar and I LIKE IT! I will be back. It was easy to find everything due to the frequent signs pointing the way.

The campground is unique and in some cases, if your pulling/parking an RV , Challenging! First campground I've ever been to that you park on a deck.

The sites are tiered and you will get a workout if your walking from one level to the next, which if you need the showerhouse , you will be on certain tiers. :)

A very clean. Well kept showerhouse and there is a laundry near the primitive parking area.

Only thing that I didn't care for was the need for the fire pit to be off your footprint( obvious why) and the lakeside sites surprisingly did not have east access to the lake. ( okay two things)

The 6 marked trails were easy to find and moderate/strenuous. Plenty of water for your hobby needs and two boat ramps and a marina.

Product Review:

As a Dyrt Ranger I've had the opportunity to test products while enjoying various parks. Today I tested/tried BOOST OXYGEN.

Now, being me I have to say getting a box of canned air made me chuckle. I get the concept of Boost Oxygen and have read the data. I am an athlete of sorts because I trail run. However I fall far short of the elite athletes you see on television sucking down oxygen on the sidelines of professional sports.

That being said I was surprised by the results after puffing up one of the extended hills here at the park. (Perfect place for a test) there was no, slow down at the top to catch my breath and then pick back up after I could breath again. I took a few long slow breaths from the Boost Oxygen and trucked right on.

Now, if your outta shape this isn't the end all be all, lol. But I can see where it would be useful on the trail. I'm carrying it along on my next trail race to see how portable it is, the weight is not a problem, but I have the full size bottle. Boost Oxygen comes in a smaller size, I didn't think to get one. I am going to continue to test it as the weather gets hotter to see how much it helps in humidity.

One con for me is I wish the cans were refillable, maybe something for the future. At least recycle them to cut down on waste.

Otherwise, if you are in need of a "boost" on the trail or as you compete in whatever sport Boost Oxygen would be a definite option to help optimize your performance.
