Goal Zero Lighthouse 250 Lantern

Survival in the great outdoors isn't just about knowing how to act when situations look their direst — it's about having the right tools to get the job done, no matter what. And the only thing worse than needing tools you don't have, is having them but not being able to use them for lack of power. With the Goal Zero Lighthouse 250 Lantern you can recharge your devices no matter where you are, and get enough light to find your way out of the darkest situations. In addition to being a powerful, adjustable lantern that stays on for up to 48 hours, it's also equipped with a USB port that lets you charge a wide range of portable devices. And with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that can get a charge from the included hand crank, a wall outlet, or a compatible solar panel, you won't have to worry about running out of juice ever again.

Case Hobo Knife

Never be forced to use crappy plastic silverware again with the Case Hobo Knife. Featuring an amber bone handle and made in the USA from surgical steel, this handy pocketable tool features a sharp blade, a fork, and a spoon, all built into a foldable body that allows the utensils to detach for eating/cleaning. Just don't equate it's humble purpose with cheapness or lack of quality — while it might be designed for a hobo, it's definitely not priced for one.

J.J. Abrams x Theory11 Mystery Box

Most fans of writer/director/producer/creative badass J.J. Abrams know about his mystery box — if you don't, go watch this — and now you can bring a little bit of that mystery home with the J.J. Abrams x Theory11 Mystery Box. A collaborative effort from Abrams and magic makers Theory11, this unique offering consists of a handcrafted lockbox made from 100-year-old reclaimed wood, iron-branded with a question mark and arriving with an alphanumeric lock. But unlike J.J.'s box, you'll know what's inside — 12 decks of playing cards wrapped in letterpressed kraft paper and a letterpressed note from Abrams himself.

It uses a waterproof scale to keep track of your propane levels, wirelessly transmitting the information to an app on your phone.

It's not coming out until 2015.

Some days call for a slimmer carry than your everyday load out — forcing you to leave behind the junk that typically bulks up your pockets — but that doesn't mean you should leave the house completely unprepared.
