A pocket-size multi-tool can come in handy when you are out in the wild, but we shouldn’t kid ourselves because a pocket knife is not going chop woods. It simply don’t cut it and that’s precisely why ex-special operations veterans over at Aclim8 Inc. designed the COMBAR. No. It is not a crowbar, although it may sounded like one. COMBAR is a new kind of multi-tool that defies the convention of being small and handy because, in reality, bigger is always better.

Slingshot With Laser Aiming Is Cool, But Try Not To Knock The Laser Out
I have an idea for a better aim with slingshot. Mind you. When we talked about slingshot, we are not talking about the Y-shaped contraption fashioned out of a branch of a tree. Definitely not those used by Dennis the Menace, or Bart Simpson. We are talking about metal projectile shooting contraption worthy of a hunter, complete with arm brace, powerful rubber bands and maybe even a laser pointer like the Assolar SS-12 Multi-function Hunting Laser Slingshot you see here. More on my idea later. First, we talked about Assolar SS-12 Multi-function Hunting Laser Slingshot. Continue reading Slingshot With Laser Aiming Is Cool, But Try Not To Knock The Laser Out

BioLite Broke Conventional Lantern Design By Going Flatpack
If you camp often, you will notice that lantern is the one thing that’s hard to pack. Lanterns are mostly cylindrical and therefore, it consumes precious space and that’s not to mention after all the effort of packing it in, you get crazy dim light out of it which is pretty ineffective in pitch dark night. This is where BioLite BaseLantern wants to make the difference. Billed as the world’s first flatpack lantern, BaseLantern broke lantern design tradition by going flat instead of cylindrical. It lights up on both sides leveraging on edge lighting technology, providing up to 500 lumens of illumination and has an integrated folding stainless steel stand which can also doubles as a carrying handle. And did we mention it looks pretty fabulous too? Continue reading BioLite Broke Conventional Lantern Design By Going Flatpack
This Sleek Tube Is Actually A Survival Kit For Surviving A Natural Disaster

This ‘System’ Discretely Turns Pee Into Drinking Water Anytime, Anywhere
So you think Amazon sells some of the weirdest stuff on the Internet? Well, wait till you read about what Etsy seller Ultra Violet Production House has to offer: a concealed urine-to-drinking water conversion kit. UV Production House touts itself as a store that “provides customers with high quality sculpture materials and fabrication guidance for all original works.” That being said, we are not even sure if the Discrete Urine-to-Drinking Water Conversion System, as it is called, is just a work of art or a real working thing, given the lack of information on the product page.

You Won’t Believe How Many Tools The Tactful Pen and Tool Packs
A pen is a pen. It lets you write stuff and occasionally, if the situation calls for it, stabbing a walking dead in the eye. Then again, it can never write again with the zombie’s goo all over. Not with the Tactful (Tactical) Pen & Tool by JP-Tac, though. The Tactful Pen is crafted from 6041 aircraft-grade aluminum and boasts Fisher Space Pen refill, which don’t need to sacrifice when a zombie comes limping at you; there’s a tungsten steel glass breaker for the job, which rightfully, is designed for breaking glass, but it will gladly take an eye off a zombie if the needs arise.
