I own this hammock tent. It is very light and easy to hike with and very much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground. The only down fall is that if it is cold outside being in the air makes you even colder....also it is a bit too entertaining in the wind.

All in all I would recommend it for summer hiking/camping. (via REI)

Wooden Tape Measure

4 people recommended this item

Description

I drive around with a tape measure on weekends. I have one on my waist, in my hand, and my wife often has one in her purse. Yes - we are crazy and we are always changing something....but the everyday tape measures are so ugly and unsightly. Not everyone is tearing down a wall and wants a tape measure that can get dropped from some scaffolding.

This one is unique and classy. A little bit of pain to order since they are a UK company...but much better than the average tape measure. (via rockettstgeorge.co.uk)

Apple TV - Apple Store (U.S.)

Description

At first the hard drives were too small, and the movie selection was sparse. Now with a huge selection of on-demand HD movies and HD TV shows — and one-click access to all your music and photos — Apple TV is a real challenge to Blockbuster, Amazon, Netflix, and other traditional means for watching movies.

This helps the average Joe turns your widescreen TV into a digital entertainment hub and makes it all so much more conveint. (via Apple iTV)

Lamp/Lamp by Hironao Tsuboi

2 people recommended this item

Description

It's hard to think of a light source as mundane as the naked bulb. In a surprising twist, the Lamp/Lamp gives the lowly light bulb a new and delightfully absurd personality by simply adding an extra socket.

REI Sahara Convertible Pants - Boys'

First to recommend

Description

I love going hiking and my favorite outdoor store (REI) is having it's 50% off sale. These pants are excellent with zip off legs, non-cotton material that will dry quickly, good pockets, zippered boot legs so you can pull them off without taking off your shoes and a free whistle. (important when you are hiking with a group and need to alert others of a bear, etc) (via REI)

REI Chefware Nonstick Cookset - Small

First to recommend

Description

A hiking cook set for $15 down from $60....incredible. This pot is non-stick, light weight, the clear lids help hold in heat, allow you to see the boil without releasing precious BTUs and serve as a plate.

The two pots are more useful than they look - larger one for pasta (can hold a pound of angel hair), smaller one for rehydrating and heating dried spaghetti sauce or what-have-you.

The Lexan lids look flimsy and silly, but they hold heat much better than the equivalent metal ones - food stays hot enough for second servings quite a while after it's removed from the stove. They're also quite light, and if you watch the steam condensing on the lids you can tell whether the water is boiling without losing heat by lifting a lid! The lids can also double as plates, although they do get quite hot so caution is advised. The grooved bottoms of the pots mean they are quite stable on my stove and can sit reasonably precariously on rocks.

The handle is a bit problematic; it tends to fall off fairly easily and I'm always a little nervous about the grip, but the design is nice and it stays relatively cool. The included towel isn't too useful unless you need to make a dry camp and can't wash the pots out (easy with sufficient water sources) and need to use it to wipe them. Keep the plastic baggies the lids and pots come wrapped in; they are nice for ensuring things don't bump and scratch each other as well as isolating dirty pots when necessary, plus they keep soot off your pack. Included mesh bag is nice and fits pots well, but I would have preferred a solid bag to reduce soot contamination. My MSR Whisperlite doesn't fit in the smaller pot, sadly, in case that's a matter of concern. (via rei.com)

REI MultiTowel - Small

First to recommend

Description

At only $3 - this is an incredible deal for hikers!

It really is soft and really is absorbent. Wow, is it absorbent. A single towel dries dishes for 6 easily. A large towel is good for a shower.

I sorta scoffed at the need for a towel dedicated to camping, but I'm sold on it now. Is much lighter, than a cotton towel from home and dries in only hours. (via REI)
