Not even a cannon shoots like a canon; it’s practically dogma. 

If you’re looking for a camera you can take anywhere*, check out the new Canon PowerShot D10.  This 12.1- Megapixel point-and-shoot digital wonder features a 3x optically stabilized lens, DIGIC 4 processor, and 2.5-inch LCD, but the real benefits come from it’s ruggedness.  This little guy is freeze proof to 14°F, heatproof to 104°F, shockproof up to 4 feet, and waterproof down to 33 feet. What a great travel and adventure camera for snowboarding, hiking, climbing or snorkeling.
*anywhere with the exceptions of heaven and hell; you’re not allowed any personal possessions.

If you enjoy vomiting and explosive diarrhea, by all means don’t use the SteriPen Traveler on your next adventure. 

The Traveler is half the size of the SteriPEN Classic with the same great attributes.  The convenient pocket sized gadget purifies water by way of an ultraviolet light.  The UV kills 99.9 percent of protozoa while simultaneously turning you into a super hero upon consumption of the radioactive H2O*. 

The SteriPen has been proven to protect against common microbes such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia as well as pathogens that cause Hepatitis and Legionnaires disease.  This is the perfect travel companion to “at risk” water countries or long camping trips. 

Also look for the SteriPen Adventurer with the Solar Charging Case.  This item is not recommended for individuals seeking to contract Cholera, Botulism, or sound travel habits.

*The UV light doesn’t actually alter the water aside from protecting you against various microbes, pathogens and germs, i.e. you will not gain super powers.

The Voltaic Backpack is a rough-grade glimpse into the not-so-distant future when accessories harness and store energy, and a weekend hike can start without the worry of having a fully charged cell phone.
The Voltaic line converts light energy to talk time and ipod life via a series of solar panels located on the back face of the bag.  The pack comes equipped with 11 adaptors for any sort of electronic gadget you might be rolling with, a battery pack that stores harnessed energy for use when the suns gone down, and convenient pockets for your laptop, phone, ipod, etc.
Despite the old school JanSport style, this is a rouged sac that I would recommend to anyone in need of a daypack with 1,850 cubic inches of storage space.  The padded mesh back cuts down on back sweat by providing more airflow while the mesh straps provide ergonomic comfort.
Best of all, the shell of this bag is made from recycled soda bottles, very cool.

With a cigarette-lighter outlet, you can easily plug in any of the thousand car charges you’ve accumulated over the years.  My favorite feature is the phone pocket with power cord attached to the shoulder strap; charge it up with easy access while you walk.  All your toys can charge either directly from the solar panels to the devices or by charging up the battery pack and out to your toys later.

• 4 watts of solar power for fast charging
• The solar panels protect fragile items inside
• Included battery pack which stores power until you need it
• 11 adaptors for easy connection to handheld electronics
• Fully padded laptop sleeve for up to a 17″ laptop (16.5″ x 11″ x 3″ or 42cm x 28cm x 7cm)
• Wire channels throughout the bag for headphones, bladder tubes etc.
• Adjustable phone / MP3 pouch on the shoulder
• Removable waist strap
• High density padding in the shoulder straps and back
• Mesh backing material for better air flow
• Shell uses 600D fabric made from recycled PET (soda bottles), which is tough, water resistant and light weight

If you like putting on wet gloves and boots then you should buy the DryGuy for a normal person, because you’re weird and the DryGuy is awesome. 
I love when a product works the way it’s supposed to work.  I dowsed a ski boot, sock, glove and hat then slapped them all on the DryGuy. The ski boot actually dried quickly, in about an hours time as did the hat and glove.  The tube sock took a bit longer because I had to reposition the lower region that had been scrunched up at the base. 
The unit gently dries with your choice of warmed or un-warmed forced air. 
It’s nice to just throw your wet boots or gloves on the machine and leave it be, no holding a hair dryer while it over heats and blows a circuit. No more leaving wet boots out until you’re forced to put them on still cold and wet.  Another bonus of the DryGuy is that the aeration helps eliminate unpleasant odor.  This is a must have item for any dedicated skier, snowboarder, or winter wonderland adventurer.

The approximate temperature of the air coming out at the nozzle is 99 F / 38 C, warm enough to dry without causing damage. The Wide-Body dries quickly, efficiently and quietly, eliminating moisture and preventing growth of bacteria and mold.

Feature:

• Dry Comfort Forced Air Technology
• 4 extra tall air chambers
• Dries 4 garments simultaneously
• Heats to 99 Fahrenheit

Modern day mountaineering equipment strives to meet one purpose: success at getting in and out of the mountains safely. Increase your odds of success with the Ultralite Rescue Sled. Take it on your next expedition, stash it at your backcountry camp, or keep it in the trunk of your car; you’ll be one step closer to saving a life. Check out the various rescue sleds and innovative safety gear, tools, and tips at Brooks-Range.com.

You did it! You successfully rescued your backcountry ski partner from an avalanche! Now what…stare at each other like deer in the headlights?

All who cast their eyes on the GoPro Helmet Hero Wide Video Camera, must bow down to worship this modern marvel. Therefore, the creators at GoProCamera.com have packaged the Helmet Hero Wide on its own alter, making it a stunning gift.

The GoPro Helmet Hero Wide Video Camera will change the lives of all light-weight gear junkies who will never ration anything bigger than a pocket-sized camera into their pack. There is a price…no flash (never needed for landscape footage) and no playback LCD screen; but we say, “Who cares!” For a camera this small, we’ll wait until we get home to view the goods. Check out the array of adventure cameras at GoProCamera.com.

For the adventurer who’s dreamt of shooting those amazing “fish-eye” wide-angle adventure photos, but had nightmares about lugging around a gi-normous camera, your prayers have been answered.

If you’re worried that the Dyna-Flex is a gimmick, don’t be.  It’s not.  You’ll be hard pressed to find a better exercise for your arms.  If you rock climb, this is a must have.  The Dyna-Flex is also beneficial for rehabilitation.  Take a look at the video for starting instructions, tips, and assorted exercises.

Various models of the Dyna-Flex are available.

The Powerball Gyro Blue (shown to the right) generates 40lbs of torque with speeds up to 18,000 RPM, while the Powerball Gyro Amber (shown above) generates 35lbs of torque with speeds up to 13,000 RPMs; although I’ve maxed out at 12,171 RPMs.

There’s also a couple of Dyna-flex Pro Models that generate lesser amounts of force.  When you get the Dyna-flex, you might also want the convenient docking station that starts the gyro spinning with the push of a button.  I would also recommend the speed meter which measures the speed, rpm, highest rpm, and revolutions of the gyro.  Have a fun workout!

I love this thing so much that I want it to have my babies.

What time is it?

We all know that, but what else can your watch do?
The Tech 4O TraiLeader packs an impressive set of features into a sleek design. Along with the basics of time, date, various alarms, stopwatch and countdown, the Tech 4O TraiLeader has a thermometer, altimeter, barometer, compass, and it even measures your speed, distance, pace and calories.

I like to use the “time freeze” feature to pause the space-time continuum and pick peoples pockets; haven’t you always wished you could do that? -maybe not pick pockets, but when you’re running late or need answers for your exam.

Even though the Tech 4O TraiLeader can’t really freeze time, it can track laps, log vertical, sound altitude alarms, and even forecast weather changes, so at least you’ll never have a reason for being late ever again.

This is the ultimate watch for the outdoor enthusiast! The programmable displays on the Tech 4O TraiLeader are so versatile that I can even use it to track my progress when flying aircraft across country. It’s nice having one watch that’s sleek enough for casual use, rugged enough for back country hiking or skiing, and specific enough for flying.
I know, you must be thinking that learning to use this little marvel requires a college course. Hell no!! The menus are so straight and simple, you’ll have it mastered the first time you put it on. The only thing the Tech 4O TraiLeader won’t do is make you look like a super-geek; wearing some obnoxious “wrist-top computer”. Like we said…sleek and compact enough for everyday use! The next time you stop to give someone the time of day…won’t they be impressed when you also tell them about the coming rainstorm.
