The Birth Of The BE Meyers MAWL

Monday, August 22nd, 2016

This is how the MAWL started, two years ago today.

It started with B.E. Meyers & Company, Inc. having their engineering team clear rooms at an abandoned school complex, day and night. They cleared 500 rooms the first day, and 400 the second day. It wasn’t pretty but it worked.

By learning the limitations and constraints of existing laser systems available, they understood exactly what capability gaps needed to be filled. By ensuring the engineering team was part of the discussion from the initial concept, they knew what the commonly was asking them to design and why, and thus MAWL was born.

Para’kito Misquito Repellent

Monday, August 22nd, 2016

We checked out Para’kito misquito repellent at the recent Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City.

While they offer several products, we were particularly interested in their DEET-free bands. Rather than the chemicals we are used to seeing, Para’kito relies on essential oils whixh gibe off a slight smell of lemon, kind of like a cintronella candle.

It’s a good alternative for those of you who don’t want to use DEET and the refillable inserts for the bands are intended to last 14 days each. Also offered as a clip which can be hung from your gear, either way, they offer a spehere of protection that doesn’t extend much beyond your personal space.
