GoPro Hero HD Camera Review
The GoPro Hero is my favorite sports cam. Cheap, impossibly rugged, with endless mounts for cars, bikes, helmets, chests, surf and snowboards. The new HD version does HD, 60FPS and recharges. I love it even more now. More » -

Summermodo: Gadgets Go Outside
Unlike Silicon Valley's, San Francisco's summer is fake, cold and foggy. Every year that goes by away from my beloved New Jersey, I forget what the season is really about: Fun away from the PC. And sweaty pants. More » -

Mammoth Innovizion 65-Inch Outdoor HDTV Is Fun For the Whole Forest
In college, the fellas and I would often drag a TV, couch and beer outside because it was ironic. The practice often led to a busted set. We could have used Innovizion's gigantic weatherproof TV. More » -

AquaClimb Poolside Climbing Walls: The Next Best Thing To Everest
It may not be as challenging as climbing some of the great peaks of the Himalayas, but the AquaClimb is a hell of a lot warmer and safer than a mountain—plus it offers up a great upper body / core workout. The fiberglass panels include hand-sculpted rock features and the ability to be rotated 90 degrees or even reconfigured to customize the level of difficulty. There is even a a non-slip, textured surface, interchangeable handholds and a 10 degree angled design to ensure saftey. I just wouldn't be following right behind that kid in the red trunks if you want to survive. Available for a whopping $8,000. [Hammacher Schlemmer and AquaClimb via BornRich] -

$50,000 Treetent Blows Swiss Family Robinson Out of the Water
To most people, camping involves a fair share of roughing it—sleeping in a tiny tent in an uncomfortable sleeping bag on a rocky floor, but for a mere $50,000 the Treetent can spare you the grief. The 13-foot-tall tent resembles an under-inflated balloon, but it features a round hardwood floor that's nine feet in diameter and a round bed that comfortably fits two adults. The Treetent also includes "adjustable planetary landing steps" to get in and out easily. Pampered outdoorsy types can pick up a Treetent from Neiman Marcus. [Neiman Marcus via Crave]
