Sometimes grilling can be a bit more of a headache than one would like. Getting the charcoal going, minding the coals, not dusting your burgers with ash when you give the fire a stir, etc. And while we appreciate the purist form of grilling involving burning solid matter, sometimes the…
Skulls are used in only a few specific ways: as a brain helmet, as a cup from which to drink the blood of puppies, or as a candle base for spooky old crone. They do not, however, appear much in modern men's accessories. We think this is bad. Thankfully, Wachismo…
If you're lucky enough to have beer on tap at home, you can a) go fuck yourself you lucky bastard, and b) screw a couple of these awesome chalkboard handles on your taps. Made from handsome walnut and topped with a little chalkboard square, you can customize them with the…
There are pens, and then there are Pens. And while the German-made Kaweco is still a humble ballpoint, it's a cut above any other we've seen. Made from a solid piece of aluminum billet, the Kaweco is a solid, thick implement that feels good in your hand. That's what she…
No, really. This isn't tongue-in-cheek. These are lessons on how to be a martial art Force of Stealth and Death. Really. Taken at a Bujinkan school in New York from a teacher awarded with full Shidoshi status, these are lessons on how to be a Ninja. There really isn't…
Motorcycle companies seem to be firmly committed to make bikes that look like a ninja weapon or something out of Tron. That's cool and everything, but that's not style. That's substituting class and refinement for lots and lots of decals pronouncing loudly that this bike is the one and only…
Vans Shoes are no longer synonymous with holes in your jeans and kickflips. As skateboarding has matured into the mainstream as a sport, so has their brand. The Chukka Boot is a great example of this: a simple handsome sneaker that can be dressed up just as easily as down. You never…
Several years ago one of our editors, on an alpine camping trip, decided to make a fire and grill some food. We won't go into details, but some lessons learned that day were 1) don't make a fire at 2 in the morning after downing six beers, 2) sleeping bags…
Raingear and outerwear is not known for it's comfort. Wearing a rain jacket for instance often feels a little like walking around in a Snuggie made from umbrellas. Baggy, stuffy, and awkward to move in are not ideal if you're looking to, you know, move around. Finisterre's Anabatic waterproof jacket…
It's no secret bacon has many fans. In fact, leading thinkers hypothesize that liking bacon is a universal fact, much like gravity. Now there's one more way to bring it into your life: maple bacon coffee. This light-roast coffee bean is infused with that familiar aromatic of maple bacon, making…
We're always impressed when people take old, thrown-out objects and turn them into new, cool things. Take Mnmur's line of messenger bags, wallets, and accessories, for instance. They're all made from discarded bike inner tubes, and they win points with us for both their unique look and MacGuyver ingenuity.…
Sliders are a fantastic invention. Their bitty size means you can have like 50 of them and not feel like a bloated fat-ass. Grilling burgers the size of a poker chip involves a shit load of spatula work though, which is the only flip-side (badumpsh!) to the Slider's existence. Solve…
Holy shitballs, Batman... Mercedes apparently makes a tank. Who knew. Granted, it doesn't have cat tracks and a giant fuckoff cannon strapped to the front, but seriously, look at it. It's a goddamned tank. It's also perhaps the best vehicle ever to have on hand for the zombie apocalypse: 18-inches of…
There's always a special place in our hearts for something that cleverly re-purposes an object to fit another use. It's ingenuity, or in the common nomenclature of popular culture, MacGuyvering. These clocks get our stamp of approval by taking something unusual--a reel of old school audio tape--and using it as the…
"Gourmet what!?", you think. Yes. Ketchup. "Blashphemy!", you say. "Who ever needs fancy condiments?!" We thought so too, until we considered mustard. The squeeze-bottle mustard the with that Radiation Yellow color pales in comparison to that old-style stone-ground spicy mustard in the glass jar, right? And you know what? Ketchup is no…
