I’ve gone to my fair share of camping trips back when I was still a kid. The camping part, I liked. The morning after, not so much. Usually we either spent another half day or so before heading back to the city. And since we didn’t have portable showers like the Sea to Summit [...]

How you dress speaks volumes. But another important aspect that many people catch on when they give you a once over is what’s in your pocket. Hankies are fine, and so is a pocketbook. But I think you can fool a lot of people into thinking you’ve got one or the other if you’ve [...]

The Bar Tools bring you the best of two worlds: bars and tools. Each of these stainless steel tools double as something that you could also use at the bar. For example, the hammer isn’t just a hammer–it actually doubles as a bottle opener. And the screwdriver is no normal driver either, [...]

I think the Pebble Pro Netbook Charger is the king of all portable chargers out there. It has a huge battery capacity, such that it can power up and charge your netbook for five hours and iPhone ten times over. In a way, you could think of it as the big brother of the [...]

One thing I don’t like about traveling is when time comes that I have to charge my device. There’s the whole hassle with adapters and checking to make sure that you’re plugging in the chargers in the right sockets. There’s also the rare occasion where you plug in your device and it [...]

Imagine this: you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere with a car that won’t start. You try to make a few quick emergency phone calls, only to hear that dreaded beep that your phone has run out of power. But if you’ve got the Pebble Smartstick with you, then you can thank your lucky [...]

What’s small, fits into your pocket, and can take quick snaps and short videos that can be uploaded easily via its embedded USB port? Why, it’s none other than the CLAP Pocket Digital Camera. Don’t expect extremely high-quality images from the CLAP Pocket Digital Camera as you would with [...]

Have you ever needed to scan documents or photos while you were on the go? It sucks having to take pictures of papers and other materials that you need a copy of when you don’t have access to a desktop scanner or photocopying machine wherever you might be. But that’s where the Copycat Scanner [...]

The Frostfire Moonbag Changing Mat reminds me of a scene from the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which was the last installment of the entire Harry Potter movie franchise. There was a scene where the heroic trio of, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, were changing into dry clothes after a [...]

So many products take inspiration from the egg. There’s the Hide and Squeak Eggs that’s a game geared towards kids and helping them develop some of their motor skills and memory. And then there’s the Heated Egg Massagers that only exist to give your weary muscles and tired body parts a [...]

So picture this: you’re hiking in some mountain trail, when you find your leg caught in a tangle of weeds and vines. No problem at all; just reach over into your pocket, take your wallet out, and fish the Boker Credit Card Knife out from one of the credit card slots to cut your [...]

Most portable mugs and canteens don’t really hold much liquid in them. I’d since retired from using mu Coleman (mainly because it was huge and I didn’t want to be teased as a school boy anymore at the office) and was so glad when I found the Fat Boy Travel Mug to use as [...]
