Camping

A double Kamp-Rite Tent Cot?! Now that's a fine looking piece of sleeping dry and critter-free amidst the glory of nature and a liter of hooch. But my girlfriend hates camping. I only go with my friend Cornelius and...

The original LifeStraw was a Time Magazine Invention of the Year Winner. LifeStraw Steel is the company's "evolved" version, adding a 2-stage filtration system and more durable steel body to a 9" personal water filter...

Kelty wants to help all the lovers out there get low. This folding chair built for two is you and your S.O.'s key to covert cuddling...and other monkey business...at backyard BBQs, campfires, open-air cinemas, and outdoor...

Three years ago Kite launched a crowdfunding campaign for their mosquito patch, a 1-1/2", non-toxic skin stick-on that blocks mosquitos' ability to track and detect humans for up to 48 hours. Since most people don't care...

You don't want to go glamping. I know that. But she probably does. In fact, the offer of sleeping in a tent roomy enough for 2 Queen beds (or 8 children, enthusiastic procreators!) and a stove with chimney pipe might...

I know how that dude got his Neolite Trek hammock to a secluded forest river. The thing weighs only 13 ounces and packs into a stuff sack smaller than my left butt cheek. And I know how he got it strung up between 2 trees...

I just finished a 8-mile hike that had 1,000' of elevation gain per mile on the way up. And now all I want to do is curl up on the couch and bask in my man stink for a while, but my girlfriend says if I touch my body...

Hmmm, I think I just found a way to make some extra cash this summer. A full kitchen in the trunk for me means Cuban sandwiches, carnitas tacos, and five spice duck congee for all of you festival and beach goers. Or maybe...

Orange is the new green...er. Though Suaoki's lantern also comes in green, so I guess green is the new greener too. You can turbocharge this portable light with a micro USB cable, or let the sun drive its glow via the...

Even though getting off course during the hike in and being forced to pitch your tent in the dark is super fun, StakeLights promise not to be a total buzzkill. Their 17 lumens of LED shine can also switch to a strobe...

Before I continue, and before the angry emails start rolling in, let me be clear: the BOLT shelter is still in R&D stages. Product / industrial design student Kama Jania developed it for an academic project, and while...

I feel like the Jammock came to be one night after a few hours of fishing and a few dozen beers. Too drunk to drive back to the city, a couple of friends starting digging around their truck bed for sleeping bags and second...

When I saw Therm-A-Rest named this cot the UltraLite Cot, it got me thinking about how even though the word "ultra-light" can be applied to so many different things, the actual weight measurement representing it for one...
