We like bourbon, you like bourbon, and it looks like Matthew McConaughey likes Bourbon too. In fact, he has served as the Creative Director for Wild Turkey for the past two years, perhaps overseeing their marketing and and so now they’ve gone ahead and teamed up to bring you Wild Turkey Longbranch Bourbon, a whiskey distilled and mixed exactly the way McConaughey likes it.
Air tents, also known as inflatable tents, aren’t exactly knew, but are becoming more and more popular and even better as time goes on. Below you’ll find our picks for the Best Inflatable Air Tents of 2018.
Electric bikes are getting more popular every day, as are fat bikes. So an electric fat bike only seems like a total necessity now. Surface 604 to the rescue with the Boar. This electric fat bike can tackle just about anything you throw its way, from mud to dirt to rugged trails, with it’s massive 26" X 4.5" KENDA JUGGERNAUT SPORT wheels ready to crush anything in it’s path.
Innovative cinema camera maker BlackMagic Design has just announced a new version of its popular Pocket Cinema Camera, and this time it comes in 4k.
Marshall is a legendary name in audio, for sure, but not usually for something like this. They are more known for their classic guitar amps and equipment, which they have been crafting for decades.
Having a functional multitool by your side at all times is a necessity. Just ask MacGyver. But if that multitool can be ultra-small and fit right on your keychain, even better. The Gerber Dime Travel is a keychain tool designed for travel, that can go anywhere you do - including those situations where blades can’t go, like a plane; there is no blade on this tool.
If you’re gearing up for a solo long-distance backpacking trip and want to eliminate as much weight as humanly possible from your kit, take a look at the Big Agnes Fly Creek HV Ul1. It might just be the lightest 1-person double-walled tent you’ll find geared for 3-season backpacking.
We are certainly no strangers to minimalist wallets of all kinds, whether leather, metal or duct tape. But when it comes to downright minimal EDC gear, the Tin Mill Passport Hardback take the cake. It’s technically not a minimalist wallet, as it is designed for stashing your passport. But we guess it could also double as a super simple wallet for a stash of cash.
Put simply: Relive is the cycling app that lets you relive your adventures, virtually. How, exactly? Relive uses data collected from your GPS, or phone app – such as Strava – to recreate your ride into a 3d animated video.
The VW Atlas was only released last year, but it’s already a major hit here in the States. So it’s no surprise to see both a Cross Sport and a pickup concept being teased. Currently, VW has no plans to actually produce the Atlas Tanoak truck (we think it’s named after the California tree, but really have no idea), which is sad, really. It’s a beauty of a truck and seeing how much we already love VW’s, we’d love the chance to drive one into the desert.
Serac calls their Sequoia XL the most comfortable camping hammock ever. There’s some stiff competition for that title, to be sure, but judging by the reviews and the extra-large size, it might just stack up.
Sadly, despite the name, the Amazon Basics Zero Gravity Chair isn’t actually free from the restrictions of gravity. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t damn comfortable, and when you sit back in this bad boy and relax in the shade or by the pool with a beer, you probably won’t the know difference.
Every self-respecting outdoor adventurer and drink enthusiast needs a good growler. Stainless growlers, preferably insulated, are a far better way to carry beer into the backcountry with you than in cans or glass bottles.
Almost $5000 for a ping pong table? Seems a little much, for sure. But this is no ordinary ping pong table. Designed by RS Barcelona, located in – you guessed it – Barcelona and known for creating beautiful, modern, industrial-chic handcrafted pieces of furniture and all kinds of game tables, the You and Me Ping Table Tennis Table is a dining table, conference table, workstation, and just about anything else you need a table, all rolled into one handsome package.
Gregory backpacks go way back. When Wayne Gregory was just 14 years old, he invented his own backpack design as a Boy Scout project, and 50 years later, he’s still designing all different kinds of backpacks. Gregory’s emphasis was on fit, and the brand was one of the first to create backpacks with different waist sizes and adjustable waistbelts that actually adjust to different waist angles.
Working out is way better with music. But wired earbuds can be annoying when exercising, and sometimes even downright restrictive, with wires tangling, curling and getting in your way as you try to do some squats, box jumps, or even just run comfortably and freely. Which is why you need a pair of wireless sport earbuds.
All-use pants, that can go from the office to the mountainside without blinking an eye, are big right now. And for good reason. But few brands have been making these kinds of clothes as long as Kuhl, who’s been doing it since 1993, when they first introduced the FREE RYDE waistband; which was supposed to provide the most natural, flexible fit.
White whiskey, otherwise known as moonshine, is picking up steam in the craft spirits game. Distilleries, from the small-timers to the big boys, are starting to produce it. But Asheville Distilling (Asheville, North Carolina) wants you to know they were one of the first.
Add this one to the list of Things That Are Pretty Cool, But No One Ever Asked For. Beer Ripples is the beer-specific version of the Coffee Ripples, a machine that could print pictures and text on your coffee. Sort of like latte art, but more hi-tech. Beer Ripples will do the same to your beer.
We’ve reviewed our fair share of portable coolers for camping and chilling down by the river. But we’ve yet to come across any as awesome and heavy-duty as these powered coolers from Dometic. (Dometic Fridges were formerly known as Waeco fridges, so you might see that name tossed about).
RAINS is a Danish company, taking the best of minimalist Danish design and melding it with classic rain gear. In fact, rain is really all they do – hence the name. Their first inspiration was the tried-and-true rubber raincoat, and they’ve since gone on to create a full line of hi-tech, sleek but classically-inspired bags, outerwear and accessories.
Buck Mason makes some of the coolest pieces of classic men’s style, combining modern edge with old-time designs. The No Pocket Shirt is a great example of this. They took an undeniably simple and casual design – the casual oxford shirt – and makes it even simpler and more casual, by ditching the pockets, and an open collar.
Having some way to purify water is a practical necessity whether you’re traveling deep into the backcountry and want to pack to light, or when something goes wrong, and your water system has been compromised. And while squeeze filters and purifying tablets are effective and convenient in their own right, there is something to be said for UV purifiers, such as the SteriPen Ultra.
My Medic wants to make the toughest, most-accessible-to-anyone first aid kits on the planet. They want to make the tools needed to save lives, available and ready to use, wherever you are. That’s a tough job for anyone, especially considering the rigors most quality first aid kits are put through already. But that was My Medic’s goal, and it looks they’ve gone about getting it done. Exhibit A: The My Medic MyFAK.
