Despite the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's endorsement of it, I wouldn't recommend fishin' in the dark. And grillin' in the dark? Even worse. I want BBQ beef brisket, not BBQ man hands. With 10 super-high-powered LEDs, the...

Snugpak makes its Jungle Bag specifically for summer weather and tropical climates. One look at the bag in hand and you'll see it packs down to about 6". Combined with its 27-ounce weight, the Snugpak will consume minimal...

Bloody Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow? With mixers, wells, and last call bells, and glass snifters all in a row...

Normally I hate all forms of cleaning except cleaning up at the poker table and in my office's NCAA pool. But pressure washing my mama's back patio is probably the least offensive other type of cleaning to me because...

I'd say "Heft" is an appropriate choice of names for DPx Gear's forthcoming hard use knife. The Blade Baby Name Book served them well this time. At 18.62" long, with a 12.52" Slepiner stainless steel, 60 HRC business...

You've heard of pop-up dinners, right? Outsunny's portable picnic table is a nifty BYOSeat setup that folds into itself, and then folds again into a briefcase-style block with handle for easy carrying...

Orange is the new green...er. Though Suaoki's lantern also comes in green, so I guess green is the new greener too. You can turbocharge this portable light with a micro USB cable, or let the sun drive its glow via the...

Even strong swimmers get tired. And if you doggie paddle into an unexpected current, or get separated from your waterfaring vessel, life jacket or not you may have some trouble getting yourself back to shore. Tom Agapiades...

Bubba Ropes are kinetic energy recovery ropes (KERR) originally developed for the military to use in pulling their off-road vehicles out of mud, sand, and snow. Turns out they work just as well when me and my friend Cornelius...

The Aqua Jump Eclipse 200 delivers 124 square feet of bouncy, bouncy, bouncy. And hopefully no broken body parts or concussions when you fall off because this 20' trampoline bad boy also floats. Flips, sky high leaps...

Cave Tools believes their burger press to be a champion of Larger, Thicker & Juicier. The silicone mold has 6 slots for creating respectable 1/3-pound patties, plus a built-in burger dimpler to dig a divot in each that...

Your wingman for summer has arrived. Well...its crowdfunding campaign has anyway. Like the Coolest Cooler before it, the SunDen hit Kickstarter this week seeking to consolidate and elevate, optimize and smartify all facets...

I'm not even sure I trust mosquito-repellent wristbands, so I'm doubly unsure about ones that claim to deter sharks. What I am sure about is that I'd much rather be the test subject for an itchy bloodsucker Invisaband...

When the fit hits the shan and you really need a hand, don't spaz out. SPAX out. This unique combo tool from Ontario Knife is part of the company's Spec Plus Next generation series for military, sporting, and rescue use...

TRITON, the human gills design concept I showed you dudes here 2 years ago (and which many of you had mucho to say about in our comments section) is running a crowdfunding campaign to actually produce the equipment. TRITONs...

Even though getting off course during the hike in and being forced to pitch your tent in the dark is super fun, StakeLights promise not to be a total buzzkill. Their 17 lumens of LED shine can also switch to a strobe...

The Slotdog is Straight. Outta. Compton. Canada. At first glance, this hot dog scorer might seem as unnecessary as the infamous Banana Slicer, and only slightly less ridiculous than the Rollie Egg Dog Maker. It might...

Some people still think that if you get bitten by a snake you should use the cut-'n'-suck, or cut-'n'-have-your-friend-Cornelius-suck method to remove its venom. But really this is just a good way to send the venom back...

I know the original is festive and all, but I would much rather sing a song about rotisserie chickens, sausages, and hamburger patties roasting over an open fire than chestnuts. Especially at the beginning of March, when...

Garden and landscaping chores are always more fun when your shovel can also serve as a "nice self-driving outdoor bodyguard and partner." That's how BangTi bills its Military Folding Shovel, a multi-functional yard tool...

Fine, HUSQVARNA didn't design their Automower to look vaguely like the Batmobile. That's just a happy coincidence. And further reason to shell out a couple grand to purchase a robotic lawn mower to tend unattended to...

You got a floating mattress for your body and a floating lounger for your dog, now all you need is a floating table for your drinks. The Kai Cocktail Table is made of fade-proof, mold- / mildew-resistant, and stain-resistant...

I just discovered something: a knife in red turns me on almost as much as a lady in red...

Sand belongs on the beach, not plastered to your feet, legs, hands, back, and...crevices. The worst is when you use an outdoor shower to rinse it off and then take two steps and What the... find it all back all over you...
