when we think about emergency readiness, we hardly give much thought to first aid kit. sure, you probably have the basics such as bandage kit and/or bandaids stocked but we bet you did miss out the tools to carry out the patching up job when the need arises. well, the Leatherman Raptor here, though doesn’t sounds like it, is the multi-tool that will fill that void. it is a multi-tool that…
you know it is like to overpack with things when heading into the wild or loading up your stores or garage with too many tools that you use like once a year. we wish there are more many-in-1 tools, such as the Zippo 4-in-1 Woodsman. yes. for the uninitiated, Zippo has been dipping into the outline for quite a while and Zippo 4-in-1 Woodsman that we mentioned is part of the line they…
we will be honest with you: we never have the need for an axe but still, we dream of owning one each. we are not clear what’s so alluring about something that chops and cuts (and sometime, saws) to a grown man. perhaps, it is because some of them look so damn good such as this American Felling Axe that…
unless you don’t charge your iDevices on your desk or you have an immensely huge mahogany desk, you probably wish you have some like the t’Light E Desk Lamps. offered in two flavors, E1 and E2, each sporting dimmable 5W LEDs and an Apple-approved USB charging port, discreetly tucked away into the side of its base. these latest duo from M&C Lighting, t’Light E’s maker…
the great outdoor can pretty merciless and it helps if you are well prepared to take on what the wilderness might have installed for you. then again, you wouldn’t want to trade-in your Bear Grylls-like agility by bogging yourself with a trailer of ‘essentials’. what you really need is something like the Bear Grylls Scout Essentials Kit for those just in case scenario. the kit is designed by the…
you know how typical sleeping bags are. they are of slippery nylon that while offers adequate warm but we couldn’t say the same for the comfort level, much less the style factor. seriously, those silky stuff is not for everyone. lucky for those who are willing to part with your hard-earn money, there’s the Scout Field Bed to feel comfy about. crafted from 100% cotton Italian organic selvage…
up till now, search lights have been restricted to being mounted and best mobile scenario would be a heli or a truck but the Dogstar Portable LED Search Light you see here might change all that. looking like a cross between a RPG and an assault rifle, this upsized futuristic LED flashlight is capable of a blinding 68,000 lumens of brightness which is something like 30 times…
if you love vending machines, then you must love Japan – the undisputed land of the vending machines but instead of going all way out to the land of the rising sun to embrace the vending machine culture, why not own one yourself (seriously, sushi is not for everyone)? if that’s what you have in mind, then the Koolatron Can Vending Fridge is the must-have machine that will…
despite its very Transformer-ish namesake, there is little mystery in this product. the Lockitron (no relation to Decepticon or whatsoever) is an add-on to your regular dead bolt that will allows you to lock or unlock your home using a smartphone even when you are miles away. the benefits are countless (assuming you have total faith in technologies) are countless. for e.g…
if there’s anything that we learnt from Bear Grylls is we are having a too comfortable life and we thank him (or should it be Discovery?) for showing us the ropes for survival, albeit some methods being rather overly gross. hence, we welcome any product that have Grylls nod of approval and even more so if it bears his name (a name that’s synonymous with survival)
whether you are in the wilderness on your own accord or not, we bet the Lifestraw Personal Water Filter will be your best friend once your clean water source runs out. we know, it do sounds like being a jerk to be ‘a best friend’ only when trouble hits but that’s beside the point. anyway, the Lifestraw is a lifesaving invention by Danish Mikkel Vestergaard Frandsen that removes 99…
