You Got This is a series that spotlights the gear you need to improve one area of your life.
Summer is upon us, and it might feel like the first time in way too long that you can truly get out and enjoy your time off. Whether you’re heading to the beach, pool, campground, or just hanging in your own backyard this season, your fav summer activities are best enjoyed without the sweaty frustration that comes from schlepping the wrong gear (camping in an old tent full of holes that are basically inviting hungry mosquitos to feast on you all night? Not so fun!). Get the gear you need at Walmart and get on with your adventure, already. Summer should be a stress-free zone.
Bring your pup
Don’t let your little furball’s age or endurance keep you from bringing him along on the adventure: Just strap on this handy pet backpack, and he can ride in style while you galivant, whether you’re heading to the airport or biking to a picnic. It’s a lot more comfortable than having to carry a hot tired dog in your arms.
Lighten the load
You can’t do the beach right without all the things, but you’ve wizened up to the schlepping it all bare-handed situation. Save your shoulders with this durable, easy-to-clean wagon that won’t make you regret packing that heavy cooler full of nice cold bevvies.

Upgrade your beach towel
You could have a plain ol’ beach towel, or you could have a beach towel with style. Which do you choose? Throw it in your new beach wagon and you’re good to go.
