Hopefully none of the people reading this have had to deal with a situation where you’re out in the wilderness and were uncertain when the next time you’ll have access to safe drinking water. For those who enjoy the outdoors and traveling deep into uninhabited areas, something like the DayOne Waterbag should be one of your essential tools. The DayOne Waterbag can also be used for natural disasters and in other emergencies. 

How many times have you taken a picture of a picture or a document to refer to it at a later time? I’m certain everyone with a smartphone has done so on many occasions. If not, then it’s probably becasue you already have the product I’m about to refer to. The Dacuda PocketScan is an extremely compact handheld scanner which can be useful for many situations. This is definitely something I would use frequently enough to warrant a purchase of this device.

We’ve all heard of the legendary Sea-Doo watercraft but have any of you heard of the Seabob? Chances are you most likely have not but the company is hoping it’s the next big thing in personal watercraft. And when they say personal, they mean it. The Seabob F5 S is a personal high-performance watercraft weighing in at just 35 kilograms. So it’s not something you can carry around all day but definitely light enough to carry for short distances.

I don’t wish upon anyone to be using a trashcan to cook their food outdoors. The image you are probably getting in your head is most likely straight out of a movie with homeless people gathered around a fire in a trash bin but it happens in real life all the time unfortunately. But if you’re cooking out of a trashcan by choice, then by all means go for it! The Po’ Man Grill is designed to cook up some delicious food but looks like any other trashcan. Yeah, a little strange but as long as it’s good at what it was designed to do.

I’m a pretty terrible swimmer although I do enjoy being in the water occasionally (usually in the shallow areas when possible).  As an adult, having a couple of inflatable arm bands like little kids might work but will look super ridiculous. The best way going about it is to have something that works like an inflatable arm band but is totally discreet. The Kingii Wearable is just the device for those that are adventurous in the water or for those who are weak swimmers.

I’ve spent months in developing countries and let me tell you when it comes to electricity, people here in the US and Canada should consider themselves pretty lucky. In some parts of the developing world where they do have electricity, it’s never consistent and they have something called load shedding which is kind of like controlled power outages to keep the entire grid stable. Where I was, there would be electricity for a few hours and then no power for a few. And this would be constant, every single day of the year but at least the people were prepared and lived their lives according to this pattern. Now, if the people have something like the Anker PowerHouse, I’m guessing their quality of life would improve quite a bit.

I have already pre-ordered two of the the Evapolar Personal Air Conditioner for the guest room as a bedside cooling device and one for my office. But summer is fast approaching and I still don’t have anything for the bedroom. Last year, the fan just wasn’t doing it for me although I loved the white noise it created. This year, we need a proper air conditioner and the Haier ESAQ406P Serenity Series is something I’ll be looking to consider. It’s called the Serenity Series because it’s supposed to be one of the quietest window air conditioners on the market. I personally love the white noise but this will be a great selling feature for many people.

The air we breathe indoors is full of impurities especially during the winter months when cold and flu germs are in the air. The sleek, stylish, and compact Coway Might Air Purifier has what it takes to purify the air you breathe in your home. The device comes equipped with a HEPA efficienty rating of 99.97 and uses a four-stage filtration system which is able to effectively eliminate pollutants and odors.

The C-1 From Lit Motors is one cool looking vehicle and is essentially an enclosed motorcycle. The vehicle was engineered from the ground with you the consumer in mind. With the C-1, parking is a breeze while getting work fast safely and in an economical way is a possibility. The vehicle is designed for efficient and high-speed travel. Unlike a motorcycle, the enclosed design protects you from the elements and features comforts you see in a car like climate control and a premium sound system. And unlike motorcycles, there is not need to shift your weight or countersteer as the C-1 drives like a car and the gyros take care of the complicated stuff.
