Pat's Backcountry Portable Carbonator

I have been on a few backcountry trips in my life and I cant think of a time I have ever craved a carbonated beverage. I have also been on a few car camping trips in my life and there were plenty of carbonated beverages flowing at those. Pat's Backcountry Portable Carbonator turns your average boring water up to 11 with a pop of carbonation. Add a small flask of your liquor of choice and a garnish from that bush you saw on the trail earlier and you have an impromptu backcountry party!

Evernote Smart Notebook by Moleskine

Technology has caught up with your notebook. Moleskine and Evernote have teamed up to create the first ever smart notebook that transfers your hand written notes and sketches into a digital file that can be shared, searched or imported into a word doc. All you have to do is take your notes and then snap a photo of the special paper and whoa-la your notes are digital.

Logitech UE 900

I firmly believe that the future of ear buds is in the wireless Bluetooth arena, unfortunately these are still in their infancy in terms of sound quality. For the true audiophile the best sound is still found in the tethered/corded variety. Logitech is throwing their hat into the high end ear bud market with their new Logitech UE 900. These bad boys are engineered by the same geniuses that design their high end studio cans. These buds feature quad-armature design—two for the low end, one for the mid-range, and one for high frequencies. What does this mean to you? Sharp highs, clear mids, and rich bass, they have also made them a bit more fashionable with interchangeable cords, hit the link for all of the info.

Batarang Double Folding Knife

The Batarang Double Folding Knife makes a clean sweep for this weeks biggest waste of money. With the economy the way it is, I couldn't imagine a more idiotic way to spend your money.

Warm weather is right around the corner and for most people that means you will be looking for your warming elixir of choice.

I'm not sure if the Best Wishes Key is meant to give yourself the middle finger or your house the middle finger, but it will definitely add some levity to your day.

Eva Solo Ice Tea Maker

The Eva Solo Ice Tea Maker is the worlds first personal tea brewer. Simply place your tea leaves in the carafe and top off with the filter, let the tea steep and then pour yourself a refreshing glass of iced/hot tea. The filter on top keeps the leaves in the carafe. You can also add the leaves directly into the filter for tea that needs less time to brew. Brilliant!

Logitech Washable Keyboard

Well, it is finally here, a keyboard that can be washed in your sink. The Logitech Washable Keyboard has laser etched UV coated buttons so the letters will never fade and is capable of being completely submerged and scrubbed for cleaning, drain holes on the bottom allow it to completely dry. I think this should be a mandatory keyboard for all homes with teenage boys.

Cake Divider

I cant tell you how many times I have been short changed when it comes to my slice of cake at birthday parties. I will now be carrying the Cake Divider to all parties to be sure that everyone gets an equal sized slice. I'm still not sure how to ensure fair cake division on a cake that is square.

I am a watch junkie and the latest object of my watch lust is the CT Scuderia Corsa.

The movement is Swiss and the colors pay homage to the Italian flag…killer watch.

The U.S. Navy Seal Survival Handbook

With all of the attention the Navy Seals have been receiving in the media lately, I think its fitting that a team member tries to capitalize on it with The U.S. Navy Seal Survival Handbook. Everyone knows these guys are some of the baddest men on the earth and this book will give you a glimpse into just how bad they are. This books runs the gamut on info and even has pictures for those that aren't so good at reading.

Ok lets be honest, your old school green double burner camp stove is pretty dated and heavy. I think its time to retire that thing and upgrade to the Fuego Element Portable Gas Grill.

This thing has a 159-square-inch grill that is enamel coated for that non stick action you love at home.

Patagonia River Crampons

I don't do a lot of fishing but i do have friends that love the sport. Apparently the classic felt bottom boots that were common in river fishing are now being banned due to their spreading of algae. The Patagonia River Crampon is the latest solution to this problem. they are made of light weight aluminum which cuts through the algae but still is soft enough to grip the rocks.

I don't foresee myself being 100 meters off the ground and needing access to a jump drive any time soon.
