Basecamp Fridge / Freezer
There are quite a few 12V DC powered refrigerators (less freezers) but most are inexpensive and lacking in quality. Not the Basecamp Fridge/Freezer. The Basecamp runs off both 12V DC and standard AC power sources and can run between 0,º-45,ºF (refrigerator or freezer). In addition to it's rugged design it can hold a full 63—quarts […]

Barbecue Dining Boat
At first glance I was super interested in this floating paradise which sports a motor, a 24-inch charcoal BBQ grill, seating for 10 people, a table, and a large umbrella. But then I saw the price tag and choked a bit, $50,000. Really? "This is the boat with a built-in barbecue grill, umbrella, and trolling […]
87MPH Mile-Long Zipline
I have tried ziplining a few times while vacationing. It is always fun, but always too short and certainly never scary. Time to vacation in Nepal I guess. The zipline pictured above, the ZipFlyer, has a vertical drop of about 2,000 feet (600 meters) and a total distance of about 6,000 feet (1.8KM, 1.13 miles). […]
Why? Guy Turns Taxidermied Cat Into Remote Controlled Helicopter
Not sure how you could do something like this to your faithful and loving deceased pet cat. Apparently Dutch artist, Bart Jansen morns his dead cat, Orville, a bit differently then most.

Personal Flying Hovercraft
It hovers on land and water and even manages to fly for short distances. The flying part, while the most amazing, is also the weakest point. This Hammacher Schlemmer flying hovercraft only flies at 20-feet in the air at 70MPH. I take that back, maybe the price tag is the weakest point, $190,000. More pictures […]
This Ferrari FXX Is Actually A Bicycle
At first glance it seems you are looking at the super expensive Ferrari FXX, look a tad closer and you will notice the skinny tires. This Ferrari FXX clone is actually a pedal-powered bicycle with working headlights and gullwing doors. More pictures and video of the bike powered Ferrari FXX Clone after the break.
