The maneuverability of an upside down trashcan lid is fairly minimal. That's not all that surprising since it was designed to lay motionless atop piles of holiday wrapping paper and not propel your ass down a [...]

People have tendency to get a bit freaked when you carry around a knife. They say things like, "Oh my God, is that a knife?" and, "Sir, you can't take that on the plane." That hasn't stopped [...]

Before we start, can we just say how difficult it is to not make a "pitch a tent instantly" joke every time we post about a quick set-up tent? The Coleman Instant Tent 8 is [...]

We love snowboarding. There are few things in life that are as exhilarating as ripping up the powder on a black diamond at 20mph with the wind in your face. Ok, we're not that good. [...]
