Rechargeable Tripod Flashlight

A lot of people automatically associate tripods with photography for obvious reasons. But think of how handy that tripod is for holding your camera and then think of how many other things could benefit from a three-legged stand too. That’s what the people at Stanley did - they created the Stanley Rechargeable […]

Gadget keeps you bug free without smelly spray

When I went camping last month, it was prime mosquito season and we were right in the middle of thick woods on the edge of a lake. All that meant we all smelled like Muskol for four straight days, and we still came home with bug bites galore. I had so much spray […]

Power up your tent with Campmor

Where was this tent when I was packing this time a week ago for a four day getaway into the woods with my family?! Campmor offers up the Eureka N!ergy 9 tent which will sleep up to five people (though I always find one less person than the maximum is best for personal space). […]

The best part about camping is sitting around at night with just the light from your campfire and maybe a moon if you’re lucky. On the other hand, if you have to get something from the car or make a trek to the bathroom, that little bit of light may not cut it (and […]

From keychain to backpack!

Remember back in the 80’s (oops, did I just date myself?) everyone had those K-Way jackets, the ones that folded up into a little pouch that you could wear around your waist? This great backpack uses the same sort of idea. It’s a tiny little keychain, one so small you can attach it […]

Carry your silverware with you

I know there’s still snow on the ground where I live and temperatures are still dipping down below freezing at night, but I can’t help it - I know summer is coming eventually (please don’t tell me if you’ve heard otherwise) and I am already thinking of camping. This certainly caught my eye and […]

Tiny Hydraulically Compressed Tissues

These could be handy for so many reasons. The miniTISSUEs are packaged in tiny wrappers, and are hydraulically compressed. Open them up and add a little water, though, and they expand to much larger tissues. They’re free of anti-bacterial ingredients, so if you’re like me and think the world has gone a […]

Bring your oven

I’ve mentioned I’m a camping fan right? Well now you can make your camping experience a little more civilized. See, I really like cooking food over a fire or on a little hibachi with old-school charcoal. But if that’s not your thing, and you’d really like a nice roast on your camping […]

Minimus offers travel sizes

I wouldn’t exactly classify this as a gadget, but it’s almost as much fun as one! Minimus is a very handy website for people who travel - they offer mini travel-sized version of all kinds of products that you might want to bring with you, wherever you’re going. After all, no one wants […]
