A Working Wonder
If we had a category just for customers who lust after Jules Verne inventions and elegant gadgetry, this would be in it. The wonderful brass sundial, a reproduction of an antique, is approx 3" dia x 11/16" thick overall, and actually works! A latitudinal gauge lets you tilt the engraved dial to the correct angle for your location, and a bubble and three leveling feet allow the 1-1/2" dia lock-down compass to point in the precise direction. And if you never took it out into the sunshine, you'd still love it for the look and logic of it.

21st Century Walking Stick
Walking sticks have moved into the space age! This walker's/hiker's friend has futuristic features and the look of an inter-galactic weapon. The high-quality collapsible aluminum stick extends from a packable 27" to a full 56", and has a carbide tip with a rubber cover, a removable 2" dia disk to keep the stick from sinking into soft ground, and an internal shock absorber that can be turned on or off. At the top, a 5-LED flashlight with a 90° pivot is embedded in a molded-plastic cane-style handle to light your way. For mountain trekking, lengthen the stick, slip the adjustable canvas wrist strap over your hand, and clutch the stick by the padded foam section below the cane handle. Directions, diagrams, and 1100mm to 1350mm gradations are marked clearly on the 3-draw pole. We'll pick a black or anodized red, green, blue, silver or purple version for you.

Sleeping Pad
Campers put these pads under their sleeping bags to insulate themselves thermally and ergonomically from the hard cruel ground. They call them "Insulite" which sounds like a brand name and they are military grade. We don't know if the items we have are seconds from that company or somewhere else, but we can't tell the difference. They are at least 20" x 60" and are 3/8" thick dense foam rubber. We have light blue, dark blue khaki/green and mauve/purple, from which we shall pick your purchase. One side is glossy with more closed pores than the other. We have used them, and they are great! Feather light too at only 20 oz. Good as light duty tumbling or exercise mats as well.

Mylar Warmth
They have the look of something designed for the space program. They're mylar, a paper-thin shiny metallic sheet, that comes in handy when your car breaks down in winter, or when you're separated from your climbing group on the slopes of Mt. McKinley. Barring that, they're also a perfect material for a do-it-yourself cold-climate Halloween costume-near impossible to rip by hand, but cut easily with scissors. There's no padding, so they wouldn't be too comfy on your bed, but they sure are warm. They both come folded about the size of a wallet. The Blanket is 52" x 82", the Sleeping Bag is 34" x 84".

Never Weaken
Good advice-and true of this dynamo torch. Actually a (3) LED flashlight, but we think the manufacturer had the Brits in mind when he named it. Has (3) LEDs and a switch that lights (1) or all (3) of them. Runs on an internal, rechargeable lithium-ion battery that you crank up-(1) minute of winding provides (30) minutes of light. (We read it on the box.) And it's a palm-sized cutie that has a very Voyage-to-the-Bottom-of-the-Sea look to it. A must for blackouts!

Big Insulated Tote
Big enough, at 17" tall x 13-1/2" x 8-1/2", to tote a case of beer (and keep it semi-cold) or a fair amount of groceries. It's the ubiquitous blue nylon, with a hook-and-loop closure and black canvas handles. Nice beach bag, too. And it comes with a bonus -- a matching, insulated bottle bag, 11" long x 3" dia with a drawstring and canvas shoulder strap!

Where You Headed?
Find out with one of the better inexpensive compasses we've seen in a while. Made of plastic with a black bottom and a clear top, it measures 1-1/2" dia x 3/8" thick. Just call this package of (3) compasses a Scouts-n-School Special.

Collapsible Cane
This black aluminum walking stick is sturdy enough to provide support (up to 250 lbs, the manufacturer says), but folds into (4) sections for storage and travel. The lightweight cane can be easily adjusted in (5) increments to an overall length of 33-1/2" to 37-1/2". The handle doubles as a low-power magnifier/spotting scope and sports a tiny 1/2" dia compass. Comes with a vinyl carrying pouch, and a small flashlight that can be inserted into the handle. Not as good as being able to walk without a cane, but maybe the next best thing.

G.I. Can Openers
Newly manufactured P-38 Can Opener from the same folks who supply them to Uncle. It folds! into 1-1/2" x 5/8" flat piece which is easily carried and lost. Reportedly works much better than the Asian knockoffs for those who really want to gain entry to the Spam!

Godzilla's Glow Stick
A bright, green glow stick for guys with big paws. Who are either at a really good concert, or stalled on a dark road. A full 15" long x 3/4" dia, it has a plastic loop and a festive red hang-cord on one end. They'll see you coming or (if you're stalled) not coming, for up to (12) hours, the packaging says.

Hot Dog!
Couch Potato meets the great outdoors! Exhausted by the hike from the tent to the campfire, CP manages to impale a marshmallow on the forked end of a stainless steel skewer. Now he can lie back (the telescoping skewer extends from 11-1/4" to 28"), grip the genuine faux-wood-grain plastic handle of the Spinmallow" like a TV remote, and let it spin the marshmallow over the fire. It's all he has the energy for, after sliding his (2) "AA" batteries into the compartment in the handle, and Spinmallowing a hot dog.
