National Park Map Bandannas
Anyone that doesn’t know how versatile and useful a bandanna is when hiking and camping, probably hasn’t done enough hiking and camping. And having a back-up map printed right on one seems like a great idea to me.

Fire Piston Lights My Fire
Fire pistons are a clever way to make fire, using extreme and quick compression of air to rapidly rise temperature inside the piston igniting a piece of tinder. This one is particularly nice, being compact and machine-tooled from high grade aluminum.
With a single push, tinder placed in the end of the piston is spontaneously ignited by the heat of compression, instantly becoming a glowing ember with no more effort than lighting a match. Literally, fire with air. The new FireStar features precision CNC manufacturing and state of the art compression fire starting technology!

Space is always an issue though, so we try to use compact and easily packable containers for everything. It occurred …

Inflatable Stuts/Poles Tent from Heimplanet
I’m starting to see more and more of these inflatable tent concepts. Given the wear and tear I see on materials like aluminum and carbon-fiber supported tents, not to mention the physics of cold/hot air volume, I’m not completely confident on these designs for backcountry use, but I am excited about people and companies willing to experiment with new designs and technologies.
Nature invented one of the most efficient and stable structures: the molecular structure of a diamond. We translate this principle into our “Inflatable Diamond Grid”
