From their remarkable rum to the ornate bottles that carry it, everything Kula Rum makes is a toast to the majesty of Hawaii. In the Polynesian islands, crafting rum is an art form with millennia of history. And this Hawaiian rum distillery celebrates that legacy in even the smallest details.
Check out Kula SUP's most popular tank top by I Do SUP. It is extra comfortable, and soft-- not to mention, quick drying-- which is perfect for any adventure! Bonus: The fabric is made out of recycled water bottles.
The BOTE Kula 5 Cooler is a unique round cooler designed to be highly versatile, easy to carry, and durable as hell! I have been testing the Kula for a few months now and I am a huge fan. I think my favorite feature is the padded seat on the lid.
27 Cans of beer, 48 Baseballs, 105 Live Shrimp, 5 Gallons of water for your dog, Bushel of Oysters with Ice, 10 Ham Sandwiches, 8 Juice Boxes, 5 Apples, 3 beers, are just some of the endless storage options listed by Kula for their 5 Gallon cooler bucket.
For me it has been more like 2 bottles of wine, 5 handheld running bottles, 1 bag of Tailwind Nutrition, 5 Wawa Hoagies, and my lunch. The point is that the 5 Gallon Kula Cooler can keep a whole bunch of items cold all day long!
Drain that Actually Drains: my BIGGEST complaint about standard colors is the drain plugs that sits too high to actually drain all the water. The Kula fixes this with a fully removable drain in the center of the cooler. This ensures all of the water actually drains! This leads to a dryer environment and less cleaning being needed.
Durable: Put simple; this thing is a beast! The Gatorshell plastic that Kula uses is roto-molded and super tough. I have loaded it up and literally tossed it in the back of my truck many times this fall and have driven back and forth to the trails. Calm and slow are not words I would use to describe my driving style so I am sure the Kula was thoroughly bounced around. The Kula is intact and shows almost zero signs of abuse.
Sticky Feet: These are awesome! There are sticky rubber feet on the bottom of the cooler that keep it in place. This allows you to stand on it, cast a rod off of it, and keeps it from sliding around your boat.
While he lives pretty far from the mountains, he puts a heavy focus on preparing for them and inspiring others to do the same. He first fell in love with the mountains on family trips to the White Mountains and the Adirondacks. He spent the majority of his early life competitively running and leisurely paddling, however after college he began focusing on learning to climb, snowboard, and backpack.
Over the past ten years since then, he has been fortunate enough to gain some amazing experiences exploring North America. Some of the most memorable thus far are alpine climbing in the Sierra, trail running in Alberta, learning to splitboard in NH, countless days hiking in the Catskills, or a plethora of mellow days paddling the Chesapeake Bay with friends.
One of my favorite outdoor gear brands has just released their first product focused towards giving back to a cause. Kula for a Cause is dedicated to bring good to our world which is exactly what we need in our planet right now. Kula Cloth is always looking for ways to help others and the community so when they launched Kula for a Cause I just had to share it with you. After all I am a sucker for brands that give back to different causes and organizations to help our planet be a better place.

The Kula Cloth is an intentionally designed reusable antimicrobial pee cloth for anybody who squats when they pee. Yes, ladies it is designed for you though some men have used a Kula Cloth too and have reported that they absolutely love it.
Kula Cloth is perfect for any type of outdoor trip. Whether you are hiking, camping, or even backpacking. It is also the perfect product for helping you meet the Leave No Trace principles.
The best thing about the Kula Cloth is that it is designed with a unique, silver-infused fabric which is waterproof on one side and absorbent on the other. The silver-infused and antimicrobial fabric means that as long as you wash it periodically (once a day or every other day), it will not cause any infections or other health issues.
Using a Kula Cloth is very easy. Like super easy! All you have to do is clean yourself just like you would when you pee outdoors. After cleaning yourself fold the Kula Cloth in half and snap it back on to your pack. Make sure to wash it with some biodegradable soap every night before going to sleep or every other day depending. Kula Cloth sells some biodegradable soap on their website as well which is perfect for the Kula Cloth.
Kula Cloth founder, Anastasia Allison, became friends with a teacher named Bethany Hutson who is an avid hiker and outdoors woman. In search of a way to bring her love for the wilderness to the students in her school, she founded a Wilderness Club. She was also had the amazing support of her school district to help her start the club. The students in this club attend Onalaska High School in Onalaska, Washington.
With the club the students began to learn more about sustainability and felt empowered to make a difference in their school. The students at Onalaska High School only have access to filtered water through the purchase of $1 single use water bottles. The members in the Wilderness Club saw this as an opportunity to make a positive impact. They decided to start raising money through fundraisers. Their goal was to purchase and install a water bottle filling station in their school. By doing so, they will reduce the number of single use water bottles going into our environment.

Monitoring of the causative agents and their antimicrobial resistance in bloodstream infections makes a significant contribution to the quality of patient care. In this study, it was aimed to identify aerobic and anaerobic bacteria isolated from blood cultures and to investigate antimicrobial resistance rates.
Bacteria isolated from blood cultures sent from adult patients between 2015-2020 were evaluated retrospectively. In addition to conventional methods, the identification of aerobic bacteria and antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed using automated identification systems, and the identification of anaerobic bacteria was performed using semi-automated and automated systems.
Of the blood cultures included in this study (n=2,903), 12.8 % were evaluated as positive growth and 2.3 % as contamination. While 24 % of the positive growths were seen in the aerobic bottle, 5.9 % in the anaerobic bottle, 70.1 % were detected in both bottles. 59.8 % of bacteria were Gram positive and 40.2 % were Gram negative bacteria. Of the detected bacteria, 36.9 % coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS), 27.5 % Enterobacterales spp., 10.8 % nonfermentative bacteria, 10.5 % Staphylococcus aureus, 8.6 % Enterococcus spp. ., 3.2 % obligate anaerobic bacteria, 2.5 % Streptococcus spp. Were identified. Among the obligate anaerobic isolates, the most common (50%) was Bacterioides fragilis group. Methicillin resistance was observed in 73 % of CNS and 28.2 % of S. aureus. Antimicrobial agents, to which isolates are found to be most sensitive and most resistant, respectively, are imipenem, meropenem, colistin (0 %) and ampicillin (77.2 %) for Escherichia coli; amikacin (16.1 %) and cefuroxime (74.2 %) for Klebsiella spp.; amikacin, gentamicin (0 %)and levofloxacin (33.3 %) for Pseudomonas aeruginosa; colistin (0 %) and imipenem, ciprofloxacin (85.0 %) for Acinetobacter baumannii.
It will be beneficial for each center to regularly analyze epidemiological data in the development of rational antibiotic use policies.
