Who says you have to settle for bland or pre-flavored food when away from your kitchen?  I can see great application for these among hikers and campers who don’t want to compromise good eats at the expense of bulk and weight.

When we go camping in the summer, we like to cook and eat well.  For us, this means being sure that we have all of the spices and seasonings that we would be using if we were at home.  Space is always an issue though, so we try to use compact and easily packable containers for everything.  It occurred …

This tribute to Star War’s most beloved droid appeared on Salvador Bachiller luggage site recently, but now it is apparently gone. My money is on the ‘forces” of Lucas’ lawyers, sadly.  There are many other beautiful and clever ideas still on the site, though…

The optical drive may be dying off according to some, but I still get quite a lot of mileage off of mine and would hate to see it go.  Not sure this will work in slot-fed drives, but I love the ingenuity of this stowaway mouse for laptop users.

I know the tech companies are doing their best to come out with a mouse that is sleek and compact enough to compliment a laptop. However I am sure most of you will agree with me that a full bodied mouse is what our hands crave, when we work one with …

Alright, I’m sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation… which I choose to ignore and replace with my own theories.  Either the Tinman from The Wizard of Oz is commuting, this bag is for firemen or zombie preppers. Got a better theory? Let us know.

Making expertly crafted products for city dwelling outdoor enthusiasts, NYC’s own Best Made Co.stands at the forefront of the return to our roots movement. “We operate in NYC,” says lead designer Hunter Craighill, “but we focus on the outdoors and the products that get people outside.” To further encourage this call to nature, Best Made is …

I don’t carry any iDevices around these days (a lonely iPod Touch sits at home for mobile testing), but I do frequently need a micro USB and have enough iPhone friends that this MIGHT be a nice addition to the kit.  If they could also work in a mini USB, it’d be an instant sale.

The Mojo Treble Key with Card Reader is the perfect USB cable for syncing and charging your iPhone/iPod/iPad and other Smartphones. With a built-in iPhone/iPad SIM card tray eject, you have all the tools you need to change your SIM card wherever you go.

So much for the subtle travelers trick of tying a colored ribbon on the handle or something similar.  SuitSuit abandons that approach for a bolder approach to spotting your luggage on the airport carousel. Now… if only I could submit my own designs.

Are you a frequent flyer, planning a trip soon, or just want to be prepared in case the travel bug bites? Well you don’t need to be Marco Polo or Magellan to appreciate a good piece of luggage. Whether it’s holding exotic natural specimens, bars of cursed Incan gold or just your unmentionables and some duty free; …

Yeah, I had to do a double take as well, but I assure you it is just a tea infuser. Love the sleek design though, easy to tuck into your commuter/carry bag or purse.

You wouldn’t like us before our first cup of tea has had time to absorb into our system. We’re downright cranky and irritable about that whole “waking up” business. But once we’ve wrapped our hands around our favorite mug and smelled the aroma of our favorite blend, things start to look up. Life just wouldn’t be the same without our caffeine of choice.

The Teastick is …

I mean who wouldn’t want a bidet in their purse or commuter bag? But seriously, perhaps for the more Euro-centric traveler or while hiking/camping? If nothing else, you have a makeshift super soaker on short notice.

The Hygienna Solo is a discreet nozzle that transforms plastic water bottles into a personal and portable hygiene device or bidet. With a simple squeeze of the bottle, you can obtain a superior cleaning experience anywhere and anytime.

Weighing 15g and 3” in height, the Hygienna Solo is the world’s most portable bidet.  It can be discreetly carried in your pocket, purse, brief case or …

Billed as the evolution of a solution for washing small loads of clothes for the world traveler (and in this case we mean those folks that really put feet to the ground in remote areas), the Scrubba Washbag is a minimalist, super light bag with integrated washboard.  The inventors are raising funds on IndieGoGo and looks like they’ve already blown past their goal.  In my neck of the woods, one these might be an awesome addition to the gear list for a long distance hiker (Appalachian Trail, Pacific Coast Trail, etc).

The Scrubba wash bag will be a must-have item …
