We’re all in to geo-tagging our photos these days, but we usually have to wait to do that manually after we upload them to iPhoto or Adobe. But now Casio’s new EX-H20G offers ultra-precise location data for photos and videos right when the photo is taken and is also the first camera to even be […]

Ready to recharge your phones or camera in camp? While portable solar chargers are becoming common, the JOOS Orange is not only durable but also waterproof and even more importantly, it works in real-world light conditions, including in the shade and even when it’s raining lightly. It also charge more quickly than a lot of […]

Stylish reusable water bottles have become widely accepted now, and the next step in this movement is likely to be reusable bottles with filters, like the Bobble. The Bobble uses a replaceable carbon filter to remove chlorine and organic contaminants, and each filter works for about 300 bottles worth of water. The bottles come in […]

We like to eat well… and it doesn’t make a difference if we’re miles away from a well-stocked kitchen. We just make something good wherever we are, and the Quick 2 system by MSR is designed specifically for good ole backcountry cookin’. They’ve cleverly built a combination of insulated mugs and plates that “nest” together […]

If you’re someone who enjoys spending the time to really take care for your favorite (maybe expensive?) outdoor gear, then Oregon-based Otter Wax is a product you should know about. This is a line of all-natural (non-petroleum based) waxes for treating your wardrobe and gear so that it’s highly water-resistant. By using beeswax and lanolin, […]

At less than one pound, this “Home Safety” device by Eton is the sort of thing every one should have in their car for their next camping trip. It includes an AM/FM radio including the NOAA weatherband and a flashing “beacon” red LED light. Most importantly, it can be powered via any of three  sources: […]

Ready to amaze your friends? Our friends at Canoe have one to amaze, and here’s what the say… “Originally developed for the Swedish Army, this deceptively simple tool is a fool-proof means to start a fire—it even works when wet. When the metal blade is moved across the rod, it creates a hot spark to […]

It’s a proven fact that most women are more sensitive to stinky, dirty. filthy, musty, dumpy smells than most men…. at least as far as we’re concerned. You know what (and who) we’re talking about. Fortunately, our friends at Stuffitts have created the Odor-Killing Bag. Yes, we did say odor-killing. You drop your (we mean […]

Yes, women pee. And yes, if they pee in the forest, they still pee. I hope we’re all done giggling now to address the real issue: how do women pee in the forest or even standing up without making a complete mess? Our friends at GoGirl have invented what is essentially a mini-funnel just for […]

Think “rough and ready,” multiply it by a hundred, and take away any concerns for expense, and you have the ultimate four-wheel drive RV: the EarthRoamer XV-LT. When we saw this vehicle, we just stood there in silence as if some Greek god had just come down and exposed some secret about nature. The boys […]

Kung Foon you ask? Think chopsticks plus spork. The chopsticks, very versatile on a camping trip, and the spork, the swiss army knife of western flatware, come together to form a long handled utensil for dipping into the cooking pot… a utensil that then kindly breaks down when you need one or the other. Just […]

So today happens to be Boy Scouts Day, and in honor of our shared love of the outdoors, we thought this might be just the coolest thing to intrigue and challenge our male counterparts. Our friends in Japan at Logos have created this expandable tent system called the “DecaGon.” It’s hard to track down, but […]

It’s a tent. It’s a cot. It’s a tent-cot. Made from heavy nylon, these tent-cots work when you want to sleep off the ground (too wet or too many crawly things around) and want a bit of privacy (too many peering eyes around). It weighs about 15 lbs and collapses down to about the size […]

It makes no sense to top off a hard day climbing with a lot of hard work cooking, so the new Sumo “Group Cooking System” (hate that term) by Jetboil looks to be pretty amazing. It just came out, so we haven’t tried it in the field yet, but the core pieces only weigh a […]
