At Outsiders we are always looking for those must have items for your outdoor adventures. When our small shop opened in Historic Downtown DeLand, our focus was on essential outdoor gear. Ukuleles were a natural addition as they are relatively easy to learn and transport. I mean…who doesn’t love singing songs around the camp fire? […]
