Try a reusable heat pack. This little 3-1/2” x 2” Soma Care™ heat pack has a metal disc inside—flex it and feel the pack magically heat up to 130F for up to an hour. Made for use with a Soma Care™ belt, but it’ll work fine wrapped in a soft cloth. Directions are on the side, including instructions on how to re-activate it. Jarvis says: it may take several clicks to activate the gel inside the pack but at this price what's a few extra clicks. 

This COB LED headlamp has (7) modes, (3) colors (white, red and green) and (2) top-mounted multi-stage switches.Comfortable, too, with an inch-wide, adjustable 20” elastic headband and a 40-degree tilting head. Packing a 5W, 350 lumen lattice white light that has high, medium, low and strobe modes and a multi-color 3W 180 lumen COB LED that cycles through red, green and white light. All this fits in a housing that measures 2-1/2” x 1-3/4” x approx 1-1/4” and has a range of 300ft. Hike late into the night, keep your hands free during a power outage, use the red light option for telescope viewing or the green light better contrast and vision at night. Requires (3) AAA batteries, not included.

They don’t give them away in bars anymore, so you’d better buy this Matchstick Fire Starter. Has a 1-1/2" x 1-1/8" x 3/8" flint housing and a 1” striker with a small cotton wick around the end. Fill it with a little lighter fluid and you’re ready to start something. Includes a 1/2” clip to hang it on something. A must for camping.

Certainly not. It's 4” long stainless steel spork with a set of little hex wrenches on it, along with a screwdriver slot and bottle opener, and it comes with a carabiner so you can hang it on your belt or backpack. Dork. No, no, we didn't mean it. Just lost our head there for a minute. You're a person who likes multi-purpose tools. And camping. And sporks. Just like us.

Put your silverware on your belt. This 4-1/4" camping implement separates into a fold-out fork and spoon, and the spoon has a fold-out knife at the other end so you can use it with the fork to cut your pork chops. Also includes a corkscrew (we recommend a nice Grenache or Tempranillo with pork chops), a can/bottle opener and the ubiquitous awl. In brushed steel with a black canvas belt pouch that you should put the thing into fork-down or the tines might catch on the fabric and make you crazy.

Our squishable silicone coffee cup looks like the takeaway cups you get at coffee shops, complete with the slide-up cuff that keeps your fingers from burning or freezing. Now you can drink your frappalattes or milkshakes out of reusable silicone instead of paper and save the planet. Our cup handles freezer temps down to -40F, and hot temps up to 446F. Squash the cup when you’re done, and put it in your pocket to use again later. Holds 10 oz and stands 5” tall x 3-1/4” dia at the top. Push on its head and watch it sink to just half its size. We’ll send you one in white and aqua, navy, red or lime green to match your eyes.

You say, “Can I get I high-tech rope?” And the answer is yes. Once upon a fight gym, a jump rope was a jump rope. You’d seen one, you’d seen them all. But it’s a brand new day, friends, and our jump rope is adjustable for your height, and embedded with PVC for durability. Also has 360-degree no-tangle rotation assisted by ball bearings in the handles, which are padded with 6” of memory foam—like mattresses for your hands. In black, with maybe some red accents, maybe not, and would Marciano or Ali have cared?

A purse on the floor is often your purse no more. Hang it from this little Kangaroo Keeper purse hook. Place the 1” jeweled disc with the non-slip rubber bottom on the edge of the table and hang your bag on the hook, which rotates to hang safely under the table. The weight of the bag makes it work. Buy a few so you can give them to friends you like to impress.

The last grill brush you will ever need and you gotta keep those grates clean. Do it with our 17” long grill brush from Silberspitze. Has a 6-1/4" long x 3" wide business end with (3) rows of helixed stainless steel coils that easily get rid of grease and grime on grates. No more worrying about steel bristles sneaking into your food, or nylon bristles melting. Also comes with a handy non-stick copper grill mat that measures 15-3/4" x 13". Your grill, and your dinner guests, will thank you.

This black canvas pouch has belt loops and a cornucopia of compact construction tools inside, including a small combo hatchet/hammer/tent-stake puller; entrenching tool (that’s a shovel to you) with a compass in the handle, and pickaxe and saw attachments for the shovel handle. Belt measures 9-3/4” x 4” x 1-1/4” overall. Don't go into the woods without it. Also, take snacks.

Or would have, had you hung one of these yellow glow sticks around your neck. You’ll get a dozen of them at 6” long with both a small hole and a carabiner-ish slotted opening for hanging. Includes a 24” plastic cord to hang them from. Surplus factor: packaging shows rainbow colors, but all are, in fact, yellow, which is fine because who wants to glow green or blue? Bend or shake to activate. (Duh.)

You OK? We thought we heard something when you stood up just now. We feel your pain. And we know you’re trapped—exercising in place, and in pain. Try this wrap-around Optima Dual ROM (range of motion) knee brace, with lateral support and a polycentric hinge that adjusts for flexion and extension. One size fits most, and provides stability and support with a comfortable latex strap. Measures 12” for less bulk.

Or just stop worrying about the line breaking. Battlecord is skinny but megatough stuff. And this one is a 50-foot length of black cord rated for 2,650 lb test. Measures 1/4” dia with a 7-strand core and is rot, mildew and UV resistant. Made in the USA for Atwood Rope.

"Laser" safety lights each with super bright LEDs run by (2) "AA" batteries that you supply. It's square and has a flashing or steady LED lamp visible up to 2500 feet (distance may be exaggerated). A 2" x 2-1/2" red plastic reflecting lens covers (3) lamps. Hook it on your belt or pack with the belt clip, use the included elastic strap for arm or leg mounting, or the included aluminum flange to attach it to your bike. It's great for general use as a warning device or as an emergency signal for roadside breakdowns.

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".

Well, that's what the manufacturer says, but the bag doesn't say anything, and we're pretty confident it doesn't know if you use it for basketball, picnics, or even the dreaded Pilates. Measures 20" x 15" x 8" in soft polyester with a removable interior zippered pouch, open front pocket, and a handle attached to double straps that you could slide a yoga mat into if you had a yoga mat. Comes in assorted colors, and we'll pick one that'll match your eyes. Cheap at four times the price.

Thwart thirsty mosquitoes with this giant net, the same one used by the U.S. military. Measures 7-1/2 feet tall x 25” dia at the top with a 13-foot dia bottom. That means it’s wide enough to easily cover a large cot or a small car. Includes a nylon cord to hang it from a ceiling, tent strut or tree limb. The net itself is white polyester, and comes in an olive drab drawstring bag.

Our classic bike accessory is LED-free, battery-free, and happily wireless. The retro bike horn has two tones (one while squeezing, the other while the bulb inhales). The tone is much more a Clarabellian quack (search the Web for Howdy Doody if you're too young to remember Clarabell) than a deep Harpo Marxian (ditto) honk. Measures 8" long with a 2-3/8" bell and a rubber bulb that will be either red, black, or purple. Includes a removable handlebar mount.
