What's in a name? If you're the Hardcore Survivalist Hatchet, at least enough to get me to click on you when I see you in my Amazon search results. I hope a 19-ounce head and 18" American Hickory curved handle will make...

But is Microtech's Bounty Hunter Knife sharp, strong, and jagged enough to help Boba Fett claw his way out of the Sarlacc? (The one in my toilet, maybe?) This nod to Star Wars and Mandalorian Green is a Microtech factory...

Anyone out there expecting a Labor Day BBQ that's not going to be rained out or celebrated under a thick, grisly, old-musty-bedspread-from-the-Motel-6 cover of clouds? Well then. Pin a rose on your nose, and set a Char-Griller...

Yeah, this will power my ego alright. The EGO Power+ Chainsaw claims its 14" bar and chain, and smooth, high-efficiency brushless motor will provide Power Beyond Belief. They even capitalize "Power Beyond Belief" because...

Take a different kind of Buckshot with Buck Knives' Kinetic Series of throwers. The 3-piece set debuted at game time during one of Chuck Buck's church picnics in 2005, but the knives haven't been publicly available until...

The original LifeStraw was a Time Magazine Invention of the Year Winner. LifeStraw Steel is the company's "evolved" version, adding a 2-stage filtration system and more durable steel body to a 9" personal water filter...

Those who would rather sway than snuggle at the tailgate and 'round the campfire this fall can go for GCI Outdoor's Freestyle Rocker over Kelty's Low Loveseat chair. This standard-height seat is fitted with a spring-action...

Sometimes you feel like rooting to the earth, and sometimes you feel like hanging from the trees. And sometimes the mud, snakes, and crawlies make a unilateral decision about where you're going to set up camp for you...

The Caribe is a sit-in-top kayak with a prime view of what's down below so you know best when to cast over the side. The one-man fishing boat--or tandem tourer, as the kayak is modular for seating adjustment--comes standard...

When all the other kids in Phil Nuytten's class said they wanted to be astronauts when they grew up, Phil went rogue and said he wanted to be an aquanaut. Then, while all the wannabe astronauts ended up living in their...

Kelty wants to help all the lovers out there get low. This folding chair built for two is you and your S.O.'s key to covert cuddling...and other monkey business...at backyard BBQs, campfires, open-air cinemas, and outdoor...

While still pretty small and light, this gear cutter and knife looks to me like a Hulked out version of Gerber's Zip Blade. A little bulkier. A little rougher around the edges. A few more teeth. And probably better equipped...

I've now seen--in the spirit of Sesame Street's The Count--one! One origami boat! Two! Two packable personal water gliders! Three! Three foldable floaters! A-ha-ha-ha-ha! Following a lead set in 2012 with the Oru Kayak...

This flashlight has a super bright Cree XM-L T6 bulb so you can see...where you're jabbing its 4 diamond attack heads. They say the pointy pokers are ideal for breaking a window during a home or car emergency, but I'm...

This multi-functional grappling hook can do a lot more than pincer up money for the coin laundry (though, in the style of the Claw Crane arcade game, it can do that too.) The assembly has a magnetic hook that itself can...

Use this Folding Utility Wagon from MAC Sports to help you and 150 pounds of your gear peace out to the beach, the park, or, ugh, your cousin Ricky's kid's pee-wee soccer game. Now at what age exactly do they learn to...

I know how that dude got his Neolite Trek hammock to a secluded forest river. The thing weighs only 13 ounces and packs into a stuff sack smaller than my left butt cheek. And I know how he got it strung up between 2 trees...

Hopefully the Rib-O-Lator is as winning in execution as it is in name. The rotisserie basket fits inside your existing grill where it ferris wheels (i.e., rib-o-lates) your whole chickens, roasts, baby back pork candy...

Recline, chillax, drink up, and avoid the sun squints. The Sport-Brella Recliner Chair packs a lot of perks into its outdoor lounger. In addition to the same olds of folding portability and weather-resistant construction...

Design firm formAxiom has a nice looking little BBQ concept here. The Grillo is caveman's fire in the middle meets medieval knight's chainmail on the bottom meets Fibonacci's sequence on top. And it all folds up nice...
