The sweat-proof design includes a MagCap that locks into place when opened, so you need not worry about misplacing it. Its rugged build can be augmented with the Rambler Jug Mount for further versatility, and pairs perfectly with the company's matching line of Rambler tumblers.
Esbit's original set of camp cutlery cut down on weight with a durable, non-corrosive titanium build. This new set of Esbit Folding Titanium Utensils cuts down on both weight and space.

Since the handles are now almost entirely open, they weigh even less and lock securely in place so they won't accidentally unfold in your pack.
Cook food, stay warm, and reduce your carbon footprint all at the same time with the BioLite FirePit. This smart gadget uses a patented system of 51 air jets to inject your wood or charcoal-based fire with oxygen at key locations, improving combustion. As a result, your flames produce far less smoke and emissions while using only half the fuel. X-ray Mesh on the side lets you see your fire from all angles, a grate doubles as both a spark arrestor and grilling surface, and optional Bluetooth connectivity allows you to control the size of the flames right from your phone.
Brew up a tasty shot of coffee anywhere you go with the Bripe Coffee Brew Pipe Kit. This all-in-one package includes everything you need (except coffee), including a butane-powered quad jet torch, the brewer with patent-pending inner cone and integrated straw, thermometer, a copper cooling stand, a stainless-steel filter, and a test tube-like canister for your grinds. To use it, add coffee and water to the brewer, heat the mixture to at least 185 degrees, let it cool to your preferred temperature, and sip. The suction automatically extracts an ideal shot from the brewer, providing barista-quality results miles away from the nearest cafe.
When you're backpacking or camping, space is king — so any tool that can do multiple jobs is welcome. The Vargo Dig Dig Tool is a perfect example.

Its U-shaped design won't dig into your hand when you're digging into the earth and holds firmly when functioning as a stake.

Finished with durable Technora paracord-wrapped handles and cotton drawstring carrying bags.
Sturdy, structured, and insulated enough to earn a multi-day ice retention rating, the Icemule Boss backpack is the answer to your backcountry cooling needs.

The Boss features a wide-mouth opening for easy packing and unpacking, a waterproof outer layer, organizational pockets inside, and plenty of straps and clips on the outside so it can be tied down wherever you need it.

Tiny enough to fit in your pocket, important enough to save your life. So goes the spiel for the MSR Trailshot Water Filter. This highly portable implement filters out 99.9% of protozoa and bacteria, and can handle up to one liter every minute. It also lets you drink directly from streams and lakes — no bottle required — and lasts up to 2,000 liters, or more than enough to keep you alive for a couple of years, at least.
The Grayl Ultralight operates similarly to a French press, letting you fill it with water, plunge the filter down, and drink without worrying about 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and debris. Based on a simple award-winning design, this water bottle saves you the trouble of packing lots of drinking water during a thru-hike or short excursion by letting you purify river or lake water as you go, and its replaceable filter is rated for 300 uses. It also doesn't need batteries, UV lights, or a complex filter or straw system, making it an ideal choice for anyone who needs to pack light and be certain their gear will do its job.
A majority of the most popular French presses are made from glass. Unfortunately, glass doesn't hold up so well in the wilderness. This Stanley Classic Vacuum French Press does.

Inspired by Prohibition-era airplanes and boats, the Fitzke Bootlegger Paddleboard exudes retro charm. The exterior is made from high-quality marine-grade mahogany plywood, with a touring-style design that tracks straight and fast. Its hand-painted graphics are protected under a finely-buffed varnish for protection, and since less than 10% of the vessel is solid wood, you don't need to worry about weather-related expansion. The 12.5-foot board's signature feature, however, is the water-resistant storage compartment hidden in the front of the board that's ideal for your shoes, wallet, keys, or, as the name suggests, a small tipple of your favorite spirit. Each board is made-to-order by hand, making each unique to its owner.

We heard there's a big game this weekend. So we went to our friend Paul Cunningham at Leather Head to see if he could build us something special — something like a high-quality all-black football that would both stand out on the field and look beautiful on a shelf. For our Leather Head x Uncrate Football, we decided on our signature shrunken bison leather, which has a natural texture and ages beautifully. Like all of Leather Head's made-in-the-USA footballs, it's perfectly sized for mere-mortal-hands and impromptu backyard games. Available in extremely limited quantities.

In a world dominated by GPS on smartphones, it's tough to remember the historical importance of physical maps. During World War II, for example, escape and evasion maps were often printed on silk which made it waterproof and able to be tightly rolled and hidden in uniforms. Burn Point Lodge Silk Maps continue that tradition, offering silk maps of any place in the world. You can choose from the most recent U.S. Geological Survey maps and historical maps, and each one is durable enough to be used as a handkerchief, bandana, or even a bandage or sling in case of emergency.

The RhinoWolf Modular Tent is designed to transform as needed, thanks to a smart design that lets it zip together to form a larger tent. Each RhinoWolf is meant to be a fully-featured shelter on its own, with a built-in sleeping bag and mattress, sturdy Nylon Ripstop construction, and an intelligent one-pole spine that reduces weight down to just 5.5 lbs.

If you're using a cooler, odds are you're outside. And if you're outside, chances are you'd appreciate a way to stay comfortable. The Ryobi Air Conditioner Cooler checks both boxes.

It runs for over four hours on the included battery, has an onboard storage compartment, and has wheels for hauling it around.
