Pioneer Peak Swing Set Review

The Pioneer Peak is the top of the Blue Ridge Gorilla Playset line of swing sets. This "Ready To Assemby" playset is made out of factory stained and sealed pine. All of the up post (vertical support beams) and the swing beam are constructed of Preserved Pine and and considered maintenance free because of the poly coating they are treated with. This does not mean that you will not have to treat or stain this swing set. It simply means that the support system for this set does not require any maintenance. This is a huge plus.

The Pioneer Peak is a rather large residential playground. its foot print is 23' wide by 25' long. Gorilla Playsets recommends a safety zone of 33' x 35' to accommodate this playset. When it comes to features, the Pioneer Peak is not lacking. This playground comes with the following standard features:
2 Belt Swings w/ Powdered Coated Chains
1 Trapeze Bar w/ Powder Coated Chains
Built-in Picnic Table
Sandbox
Clatterbridge and Tower
Rock Wall with Climbing Rope
10' Radical Wave Slide
Climbing Rope Ladder
Deluxe Climbing Ramp with Knotted Rope
Turbo Tire Swing and Swivel
Telescope
Tic Tac Toe Panel
There is something to spark the imagination of every child. What I really like about this swing set is that the activities are spread out throughout the entire unit. The is not only a bonus for safety reasons but as a parent it keeps the kids from being on top of one another. The one feature that seems to really draw the kids was the clatter bridge to the slide. The bridge posed as a minor obstacle for the kids and this gave them a thrill. Having the second tower with a slide at the end of the bridge really controls the traffic flow while kids are playing.

The Pioneer Peak is a rather large project to assemble. It took two of us just over 12 hours. Like all swing sets, the key in my opinion was staying organized. Keep track of all of your parts and components. The more organized you are the quicker and easier the Pioneer Peak will come together.

Like all Gorilla Playsets, I am very impressed with the design. Safety is the primary focus in design but functionality and kids interests are closely behind. I would definitely recommend this swing set.

Samurai Sword Chopstick Sets $12.99 Eating Asian food is probably one of our pastimes here at ThinkGeek. Right by the office, we have a friendly Japanese place with sushi and bento boxes, a Vietnamese place to get our pho on, two scrumptious vegetarian Indian buffets, and even a Thai place with a garden dining area lined in hot pepper plants. And even though Sheldon would yell at us for using chopsticks to eat our Thai food, we do it anyway. You know why? Because eating with chopsticks is FUN with a capital FUN. When we first saw these, we were like, "Oh cool! Chopsticks that look like samurai swords! WANT!" Then we looked a little closer and realized that they're modeled after the weapons of actual samurai. Allow us to introduce you: Maeda Toshimasu (better known as Maeda Keiji) fought with Uesugi's clan and was best known for breaking through enemy lines in the battle against the Mogami with only eight riders. If you're ever in Japan you can check out Keiji's armor at the Miyasaka Museum. Sanada Saemon-no-Suke Yukimura (Sanada Yukimura for short!) was an excellent military tactician, winning battles even if his forces were outnumbered. He was called "a hero who may appear once in a hundred years" and a "crimson demon of war." Date Masamune was known as the one-eyed dragon due to his outstanding tactical skills and (more notably) his missing eye. Masamune's army was instantly recognizable by their black armor and golden head gear. Fan of Japanese stuff, eating Asian food, or swords? Maybe like us, you can say heck yes to all three. Pick up a set of these chopsticks and make your next meal infinitely more badass. Product Specifications Specialty chopsticks that look just like samurai swords Imported from Japan, where swords are serious business Detailed handles reproduce those of samurai swords Accented with gold highlights Functional and decorative, won't cut your tongue like a real sword Comes with a stand so you can keep your chopsticks off the dirty table between bites NOTE: ThinkGeek does not endorse putting real swords in your mouth.
