Update to Product Line

Hello everyone. I wanted to let you know that SOS is now carrying gift certificates to make shopping for that “hard to shop for person” easier! The gift certificates will apply to any purchase and are in increments of $25.00 up to $100.00.

I also wanted to let you know that I have personally tested the SOS Eye Wear and can attest that they are as good if not better than the Oakleys that I have. They are lighter and much more comfortable and the polarization is a great deal more optically correct than the Oakleys. That’s not just a personal opinion, but the opinion of others that have tried them on. And… a lot less expensive too!

Happy adventuring all, talk to you again soon.

Hello world!

Welcome to the Southern Outdoor Specialties or SOS Blog! Since, for the most part, everyone that visits our site has a fondness to the outdoors, we felt this would be an excellent opportunity to share our experiences with activities related to “ANYTHING” regarding camping, hiking, climbing, geocaching, kayaking, mountain biking, off-roading, etc, etc, etc.. The fact is that we realize that everyday new activities and or sports are being created much like geocaching which has been proven a major success. In fact, I recall years ago, when paint ball began, while sitting amongst fellow outdoor enthusiast, we spoke of developing a game using our newly acquired GPS units to locate a flag planted in the middle of a wooded area, sort of like “capturing” the opponent’s flag. So much for thinking and not acting, right?

Here’s the deal, what we, at SOS, felt would be a good idea was to create this blog as a resource for experienced and beginning outdoors enthusiasts alike to share their thoughts and suggestions on any topic related to the outdoors. I’m sure all of can recall when we first developed an interest in venturing into the outdoors. All the questions that we had and our only resource was the encyclopedia, magazine articles and the local barber. Most of the information was gained from people that we had no knowledge of their experience level, whether the information was first-hand or obtained through reading. I have personally learned more skills involving the outdoors, whether it be camping, hunting, fishing or merely starting a fire through trial and error. Either mine or from someone else who was willing to share a bit of humility to help out a fellow outdoorsman.

I will also be submitting updates to the SOS website product line on special deals or new product lines to keep everyone informed on important changes. With that said, I would like to announce the inclusion of a new line of Eye Wear by Survival Outdoor Sunglasses or SOS. Ironic, but true. No, we don’t manufacture our own eye wear. We are fortunate enough though, to having built a relationship with Hi-Def and SOS Eye Wear to acquire their line of eye wear presently used by professional outdoor enthusiasts such as Water Sports, Skiing, Team Sports to the Military and Government such as the Rangers, DEA, FBI and Special Ops. I am sure that you will agree that for the price of knock-offs and the quality beyond the major name brands that we are very pleased to carry such a product.

Another product that we are pleased to introduce is the SPOT” Messenger. With the frequency of hikers, campers and venturers lost in the outdoors, it completely baffles my mind as to why so many become lost with all the technology available today. Be it GPS or locater beacon devices, I personally would not attempt to venture into unknown territory without the aid of such devices, let alone informing friends and relatives of my precise plans. Anyways, getting off of my rant, we now carry what I believe is the most advanced, affordable method of never getting lost to the point of no return - “SPOT”!

If any of you have had the opportunity to use any of the items mentioned, we would love to hear your experiences. We do not claim that because we carry it, is the best. We count on you, the end users to keep us all informed. Good or Bad….

Thank You, we are looking forward to reading from you soon.
