I've learned to tie knots hundreds of times. Usually it's the same knot, the one they use to tie fenders on boats, which my friend Anthony shows me every time I go on his, and which I use once and then immediately forget...

MPOWERD doesn't just want to sell you an inflatable lantern, they want to light up the world. The company's award-winning Luci is the result of their attempts to bring simple, clean energy to people everywhere. And not...

Cars, bikes, and even PC cases, sure. We've seen a ton. But good on Texas Tool Crafters for jumping on pop culture's current obsession with multi-tools and launching a whole new industry of mods: Leathermans. Want a Skeletool...

OK, all you Camping Doughnut enthusiasts (and whiners and foot stampers lamenting that it's still only a concept), here's an almost-as-cool and exponentially-more-real alternative for you: POD Tents. If you've got the...

Tsvet doesn't waste any time on an intro waxing poetic about his Crocobiner on the multi-tool's Kickstarter campaign page. Why would he? One look at the EDC crocodile and its list of functions tells me just about everything...

Not only is it small, portable, and durable enough to withstand day drunks at the tailgate, but Char-Broil's Grill2Go uses a TRU-Infrared cooking system to sear and heat your meat. That means even the coldest, rainiest...

When I saw Therm-A-Rest named this cot the UltraLite Cot, it got me thinking about how even though the word "ultra-light" can be applied to so many different things, the actual weight measurement representing it for one...

FOBO is an acronym for For Our Better wOrld. That's a really dumb acronym. Luckily, the 24/7 Bluetooth tire pressure monitoring system it represents is sweet enough to overcome the branding misstep. And I guess I'll let...

Homping meets hot coals and juicy steak. Mmmm, sounds kinky and delicious. If you dare...

Rumpl is your favorite puffy coat and your best sleeping bag turned into a comforter for your bed. A blanket for your starry nights. A cover for your movie dates on the couch. Rumpl is a high performance insulator made...

The Swedes. Always lookin' out, always glad to do it. My favorite friendly Scandinavians made this paracord bracelet out of 16' of 350 spec nylon. Five different color choices are braided into a sweet adjustable wrist...

One thing I've learned in life is that people like quality, people like deals, and people like knives. If you consider yourself people, then the Opinel No 8 Carbon pocket knife is your opportunity to have all 3 of these...

This hook-and-lift propane tank gauge claims it can make sure I never run out of gas at the grill again. What a crock. Unless it's some sort of on-call gas delivery drone or, like, a propane micro factory I'm pretty sure...

Think you have mad survival skills? Here's your chance to put your money where your mouth is. And then light it on fire. Following their survivalist's credo to the letter, Wazoo has created the Kindling Gift Card. It's...

One guess as to which country the GazeBox hails from. A glorious transparent arc that accordions around your 6-figure sports car? Protects it in style, with pomp, and without hiding it from jealous eyes? Gotta be Italian...

Click. Hook. Exit. Forget JanSport and SwissGear, who here wants a SkySaver multi-story personal rescue backpack?...

Accurate. Works day or night. Functional without satellite, cell tower, or batteries. However, using the Ranger Pace Counter will require focus and baseline mathematical skills. So it's still not for everyone...

Two quarts, Army issue, OD Green. Not a whole lot else to say about this water canteen. Except that two quarts of water isn't really enough for a long, strenuous hike or desert offensive. Two quarts of whiskey might be...

Rough life this guy has. Timing the tides. Towing his Sveglio Volo all the way across the beach and into the water. Settling into its hammock and getting a gentle rock going just as the sun starts to set. I bet it's a...

I just saw this Grill Mat on an infomercial at 3:00 this morning. I watched the whole thing too because it was either that or The Golden Girls. What it does is stop smaller foods like vegetables, shrimps, and kabobs from...

Thor. God of Thunder. God of Lightning. God of Rechargeable LED Lighting. ThorFire's darkness accessory is a collapsible accordion lantern/flashlight with a built-in battery rechargeable via regular 5V USB or its fold-out...

ESEE's Izula takes its name from the Peruvian jungle's biggest, baddest, meanest...ant. Isula with an "s" in Spanish. If you know your ants, you'll know it as the bullet ant. And if you know your knives, you'll know ESEE...

I read that in honor of Prime Day Amazon is going to be discounting a pair of very highly rated binoculars to less than $120. Oh boy, I sure hope Newcon Optik's LAS 1000 Sniper Detection System is it! These way-more-than-binoculars...

Someone looks more interested in her floating cabana than she is in her wading cabana boy. I guess I would be too if he showed up empty handed like that. What, not even a tall glass of something cold, pink, and strong...
