Adhoc take-away canoe that fits in backpack











Israeli designer ori levin from studio tsor design has created Adhoc: this full-size canoe can be folded into a bag the size of a standard backpack (13 x 23 x 70 centimeters). weighing 4.1 kilograms, the materials were carefully selected to be both lightweight and resilient: the frame is made of carbon fiber while the hull is made of aramid, a heat-resistant synthetic fabric used in racing sails.

A corner lock holds the telescopic poles to form each end, and a parasol-like mechanism in the center maintains the structure of the sides. the canoe can be assembled in approximately five minutes.

Foldable Bowls, Cups and Plates from Orikaso





Orikaso tableware is simple to use. Take the flat piece out of your pack, fold along the creases, and tuck the outside flaps into the pockets created by the folds. Simple, elegant, & durable.

Orikaso tableware is constructed from a completely flat piece of polypropylene. Weighing only a few grams and less than a millimetre thick, Orikaso is far easier to transport and store than 'traditional' tableware in any situation where weight and space are an issue. Due to the unique properties of polypropylene, Orikaso products can be used time and time again without suffering any kind of structural fatigue or weakening. They are even dishwasher safe.

Hammock Compatible Sleeping Bag





The Hammock-Compatible Sleeping Bag is a brilliant solution for hammock sleeping on cool and cold nights. Most sleeping bags compress under your back when you lay in a hammock, which crushes the insulating loft and lets your back freeze. But Grand Trunk’s Hammock-Compatible Bag wraps around you and the hammock, creating a warm, swinging nest.

UPDATE: Cool thing but I would definitely like to have a bigger one. I didn't tested it under wet conditions but it looks like it should be just fine. Great for carrying documents, extra matches, cellphone, camera or other not too bulky water sensitive stuff.

BunBun Eco Light



"Японская компания Landport ухитрилась найти новое решение в простой вроде бы технологии, создав светодиодный фонарик BunBun. Изюминка новинки — способ завода. Владелец должен взяться за фонарик двумя руками и растянуть его половинки, а потом согнуть фонарик буквой Г (две части фонаря соединены шарниром). Далее остаётся только энергично покрутить фонарик в руке, при этом согнутая часть будет изображать "вертолётный винт". Всего 30 секунд такой игры наполняют встроенную батарею на 5 минут работы, что, согласитесь, очень хорошее соотношение. На прилавки BunBun выйдет в апреле по цене $22." Больше инфы на мембране.
