Making a product that combines a lantern with a water bottle is right up there on the list of bizarre pairings wtih a Ferrari pulling a U-haul. That being said, it's fairly genius. The lid, which houses white LED lights, is perfect for camping... lighting you're path the toilet/bushes witha…
While Helm is known for their shoes, we were grabbed by their bags. Initially designed to carry aforementioned shoes, they're definitely diminutive compared to your average bag but by no means do they deserve disrespect. And while they may look like the bastard offspring of a weekend duffel and a…
Sure those DoDo iPad cases are the hottest thing on the market right now, like some kind of Tickle Me Elmo for adults. But frankly, we prefer a handmade leather case like these from Etsy seller Julie Boyles. It's not trying to be something it isn't (a Moleskine), and instead…
When you read "Coleman 54-Quart Steel-Belted Cooler", what occurs to you? Ok, besides "It'll hold 54 quarts of beer". Wait, that's the only thing that comes to mind? Ok, well guess we can't exactly fault you on that one, but let us fill you in on some other bits. It's…
Imagine that you're in a life-or death situation against the clock where you need to unscrew something, cut something, saw something, unscrew something else, repair a set of eyeglasses, and open a bottle of beer. Disregarding how absurd this situation would be, the Utili-Key would be all you need to…
Even though the iPad is little more than the result of an iPod Touch getting a Macbook really drunk and convincing it to come back to it's dorm room, it's a device that deserves a bit more than just a simple protective case. Boog's Boa Push bag qualifies as a…
Etsy user LowLevel has made an awesome set of colorful stenciled paintings, each one featuring a historical icon: Fidel Castro, Jack Kerouac, Frank Sinatra, Hunter S. Thompson, etc. Each icon is stenciled relief with an appropriate background, and the visual puns are numerous. The colors are funky and retro, and…
If you're a surfer, you likely ride on a polyurethane or polystyrene core board. It'll come as no surprise that these boards break. When they do, that polyurethane or polystyrene core ends up in a landfill (a board in two pieces isn't exactly useful in the water), and thus begins…
Back when cameras took pictures on this weird ribbony stuff called film, taking good photos took practice and talent. But as the digital cameras have come of age and their prices fallen from levels requiring the sale of an organ to something more accessible, taking great photos has become easier…
Before rockstars wore mascara and made their careers on American Idol, they wrote their own music and possessed an iconic style of tattoos, slicked hair, and well worn leather. These guys were the real deal: there were no Nickelbacks, no Jars of Clay, no Insane Clown Posse. Horst Friedrich's book…
Ah, celebrities. We love to hate them, but secretly, they're like a car wreck: we can't help but slow down and look. And while they annoy us with their frivolities/general ridiculousness, they've inspired something cool... a lamp. No really. Those stars are always wearing those giant mirrored sunglasses, even when…
One of the most memorable things about Back to the Future 2, besides those kick-ass Nikes, is Marty's hoverboard. The year, supposedly, is 2015. That means that according to Robert Zemekis and pop culture, we should have levitation down pat within 5 years. Yeah. We're not holding our breath. Until…
Yes, Timberland's naming division got a little carried away with this one. We're not even sure what "hookset" is (guesses tossed around the office included a special ping pong serve, a type of fishing lure, and literally a set of hook devices). Luckily they're design division didn't. These are the…
The automotive industry today can bore a guy with it's newfound eco-friendliness. "Look at the new Prius!" Toyota says, "It farts white doves." "Check out our new Civic!" declares Honda, "it is made entirely from dirt." Look, we think going green is commendable, but it doesn't exactly stir a man's…
There's a morbid irony that the device that's ushering along the death of the printed page should be protected by a case that's essentially a book. Perhaps we've watched one too many nature documentaries, but it's a bit like one of those crazy sub-Saharan wasps that paralyzes some grub, eats…
