And what do you get? A trunk organizer! Ours is a practical beige color, measures 23” x 11-1/2” x 9-1/2” in polyester with a (3) large compartments, each with multiple slit pockets. Also comes with a separate, matching cooler, thoughtfully designed to hold a six-pack, with a heat-sealed lining to prevent leaks. Folds down to 10” x 10” x 5” thick. Get two and you could store one folded up inside the other. It's what Marie would do.

Never get stuck out in the rain without protection again. Meet poncho in a ball! A 2-1/2" red plastic ball that opens in the middle to reveal  a 46" x 36" translucent rain poncho. Clips to most clothing, backpacks and sports equipment with the included plastic carabiner. Parent and kid friendly! You'll never leave home without them again!

Hook these on the zipper pulls on your jackets and you'll never be in the dark again. Tiny LED lights measure 1" x 9/16" in a 5/16" thick oblong, and come on a 7/8" long lanyard clip. We'll pick some that will go with your eyes, in blue, green, black or red. Include little button cell batteries that can be replaced if you're the sort of person who does that.

Using a word like “beautiful” to describe our newly arrived First Aid Kits seems wrong. But it’s right. They’re beautiful, and useful. Come in (3) sizes, with a sturdy, lightweight red nylon case that proclaims them “Paramedic Approved.”

You pick: the Small kit, which measures 6” x 8” x 3”, with (19) different items and (53) pieces total;

the Medium kit, 7-1/2” x 9” x 3”, including (28) items and (103) pieces total; or

the Large kit, 8-1/2” x 10-1/2” x 5”, including (37) items and (156) pieces total.

All contain the requisite First Aid booklet, bandages, cotton, antiseptic wipe, tape, shears, tweezers, gloves, saline, splinter probes and an emergency blanket (among other essentials), but the Medium and Large kits contain more specialized items, such as burn gel and fever scan strips. The Large also includes things like iodine swabs, high elastic bandages, wound dressings and an ice pack. Any size is great to have at home, and anywhere you’re on

Originally a fire safety escape kit, you'll get a headlamp (which is the meat and potatoes of the kit) with (8) white LEDs on a pivoting bracket with adjustable elastic straps that are nominally approx 8" across and powered by (3) included “AAA” batteries. Also comes with a screw hook, a suction cup child locator, and (10) reflective 2" arrow stickers. But it’s the LED lamp, at our great price, that makes this one so attractive.

Hey, nothing wrong with a big ol’ flashlight, but sometimes you need one that you can easily carry in your pocket or slip into a bag and still have room for a bunch of other stuff. This mini LED flashlight is approx 4” long, with an on-off push button on the end, and a knurled metal handle. Comes in silver for the most part, but a small amount of our stock is actually blue. You’ll get the one that comes out when we reach into the box, and it won’t matter because you’ll be using it in the dark anyway. Takes (3) “AAA” batteries, included.

Some of us here at the home office have a special devotion to Betty Boop, the cartoon cutie who made Snow White look like Pluto. Which is why we snapped up these 9" x 4-1/2" zippered pencil pouches festooned with images of Betty on the front and a genuine, faux, black-leatherette back. Has a surprise polka dot interior and no, of course you don't have to use it just for pencils. Got intellectual property worries? This is an Officially Licensed Betty Boop product.

A Syracuse interior lineman with an umbrella. Also, this (20)-liter orange dry sack, big enough to keep a week's worth of camping clothes and French bread dry. Measures 23” long with a 13-1/2” dia top tapering down to a 9” dia bottom. Fill 'er up, fold the top down three times, and snap the molle buckle for maximum water resistance.

Made of wound-up stainless steel coil springs and tough as rhinoceros jerky, these 35-gram stainless pot scrubbers will make you scoff at those dollar retailer pads that look like shredded wheat and sound like you need help at sea. In your PKG (6) each will be wrapped individually. Bonus: science fair material potential!

If you fly to where you hike, you absolutely need this three-piece bianbai wood walking stick. Like in portable pool cues, the pieces are threaded together via steel inserts. Measures 55” long assembled, with a metal tip covered by a removable rubber foot, wrist strap and water-resistant nylon carrying pouch. Pieces are approx 21” long.

Clip a light or driver on your pocket, because sometimes a big ol’ tool is great and other times all you need is a little one. This nice two-piece combo pack includes a sturdy 5-3/8" long LED Versa Beam® penlight-style flashlight with 2 light levels including a blinding 200 lumens hi-mode, slide focus and pocket clip. The pocket driver includes (8) precision bits, 2mm & 3mm slotted, #1 & #2 Phillips and T5-T8 Torque bits that store in the 4-3/8" knurled body and, of course a pocket clip. Set comes with (2) AAA batteries.

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.

In nylon digital camo, this military radio bag measures 11" x 12" x 6" with adjustable straps on the side panels to pull them in, another to close the top, and a pair of female molle buckles to attach it to something else. Sew it all together, add a strap and you’ve got a great carry-all. Note openings at bottom corners. For you collectors, it’s marked  "APB03 RADIO POUCH SPM1C1-09-F-C002 8465015158636 F190686393 TAMCN NO. C54402F"

This one's easier to toss, cuz it folds in half. Johnny Appleseed would have carried one of these if he'd had our web address. Our folding garden trowel is a 5-3/4" x 2-1/8" when inside its black canvas belt carrier, but opens and locks to 8-7/8" long. All stainless steel, so there are no rust problems for you itinerant gardeners.

Sextants came along after astrolabes but before GPS. (Just like you.) They're used for finding latitude and the distance between objects, and are still the non-electric, non-satellite-dependent backup for navigators. Ours is a beauty in solid brass with glass optical components, at a tiny price. Measures approx 4-5/8" x 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" overall and comes in a very nice wooden case. Includes instructions, which you're going to need unless you went to Annapolis where they still teach it. Handy for learning the principles of how a sextant works, but please don't try to find your way to Bora Bora with it, this one is more decorative than accurate.  

Sit-ups don’t cut it. They’re hard on the back and neck, and few things are as boring. We like our brand new Ab Roller for sculpting the six-pack in our belly (or simply toning up), strengthening our core and improving flexibility. It’s an approx 7” dia x 2” wide plastic wheel with non-slip rubber tread, with a 12” stainless steel "axle" running through it, with padded grips on each side. We have rollers in light blue and black, and we’ll pick the one we think will make you roll the most and go with your outfit. Fits in your gym bag and rolls on any flat surface. You’ll be wearing half-shirts before you know it.

You don't have to smell like a polecat just because you're camping. Our 5-gallon PVC solar shower bag measures 23" x 16" with an in-line valve, 25" hose, 1-1/2" shower head and mounting hook. Mfr says 2 hours in the sun on a 70-degree day gets you 95-degree water.

Inflatable air loungers are all the rage, and we’ve got ’em! Ours weighs just a smidge over 2 lbs, and when it’s folded and stuffed into its bag with shoulder strap, it measures a mere 14” x 8” x 6”. No pump required! Just swing it around to fill the pockets with air (or use the wind), snap it shut and plop down. Great for the pool, beach, concert, game, picnic, campsite or living room. Hey, it’s your life. When inflated it’ll look like a 20” high x 30” wide x 70” long hot dog bun. Sit in it longways, for a hammock pose, or the other way, where it becomes a lounge chair--or a love seat if you’re willing to share. Available only in green.
