Igloo Party Cooler
I love me a good cooler. Most importantly, I want said cooler to be fully insulated for long-lasting performance. I also want it to do a bit more. Like the Coolest Cooler (but without all of the quality issues). The Igloo 49271 Party Bar Cooler ($192) might just be my next cooler. Some cool features […]
Pakayak Is A Kayak That Shrinks To Backpack Size
Ever wanted to hike to a remote spot and they bust out your kayak for a quick paddle? Imagine being able to get to private beaches, lakes, and rivers where most folks can’t take their kayaks. Well that is one of the uses for the Pakayak which currently lives on Kickstarter. The Pakayak is not just […]
36-Inch Umbrella Hat
I know, I know. An umbrella hat, really? Yes! I just got back from a long camping trip and have some not so cool sunburns. Health risks aside, I look goofy. I have the famous redneck burn and t-shirt tan. So here goes the logic with the umbrella hat. Sure, you will look goofy while you […]
Kink Proof Garden Hose
I like watering plants and washing the car on a nice day. It is a bit therapeutic for me I suppose. However, it usually starts off, and ends, with a wrestling match with a tangled/kinked hose. That part I could do without. The Tuff Guard might be the perfect garden hose. It comes in 25, 50, […]
Victory KoreDry Magic Rashguards
If you spend much time being active around the water, you most likely have a rashguard shirt or two. The traditional rashguard does a good job at wicking away sweat but fails when really wet. In other words if you wear it in the water you end up with a shirt that is soggy, heavy, […]
RinseKit Pressurized Portable Shower Sprayer
Never take pressurized water for granted. It is glorious. Imagine taking a shower or washing your car without pressurized water. Not fun. With that said, there are plenty of places where we don’t have access to a good stream of water. Like camping in a remote location, the beach after surfing, the park to wash […]
Backpack With Built-In Chair
When doing light camping, hiking, or exploring space is often an issue. How much can I carry without causing me to get a hernia? Do I bring the camp stove or just some self-heating MRE’s? Same goes for a camp chair. Well, the Stalwart folding stool and backpack combo ($28) might help with the chair […]
Ever Wonder Where Your Cat Goes Each Night?
These images are from the nightly escapades of cats. Yep, your sweet innocent indoor/outdoor cat puts on some serious mileage while you sleep. These Australian cats were outfitted with GPS trackers to let the owners know what their cats were up to. Seriously. In Australia cats are considered invasive species and can have devastating effects on […]
Pedal Powered Roller Coaster In Japan
This pedal powered roller coaster, in Okayama, Japan, is high above the ground and has amazing views. I guess the lawyers in Japan aren’t as out of control as ours here in the US. There are no guard rails on either side and the riders are only held in by a simple seat belt. Energy […]
Gerber Short Stack AR-15 Maintenance Tool
If you have an AR-15 you really need to get your hands on the Gerber Short Stack AR-15 Maintenance Tool ($30). It is so tiny that it fits inside of the Magpul, MOE, and MIAD pistol grips. It can perform 15 cleaning and maintenance functions. Heck, it is even made in Portland, Oregon. The Short Stack’s […]
