RainwaterHOG Looks Great While Collecting Mother Nature’s Liquid Givings

The RainwaterHOG is a design-y rainwater tank (yes, there is such a thing) that collects rain to re-use in the garden, give to your dog or fill up your Super Soaker without draining the mains. Most people don’t save rainwater because they don’t want a giant open bucket/mosquito-larvae farm on their porch. But now, you…

Rugged and waterproof cameras are great, but they’ve got a lot of improving to do in general design before they’ll be good in the outdoors. I mean, someone just keep me from losing these things. The first waterproof camera I used was a Pentax W10 in 2006, one of the first simple cams that didn’t…

Grundig Eton Satellit 750 Shortwave Radio (Yes, Shortwave)

The Beef: I am not a shortwave enthusiast, by any means, but the industrial design, open for a literal interpretation on the industrial. It’s got AM, FM, shortwave, longwave, SSB and aircraft band frequencies. There’s a scan or manual input by 10-key. And check the analog gauge and yellow-glow back lighting. Very nice. There’s also…

Grundig Eton FR1000 Voicelink Survival Radio Is Gorgeous

Awesome: The Eton FR1000 Voicelink is maybe one of the most pornograpic survival radios I’ve ever seen, but functionally so. IT has AM/FM/NOAA Weather/2-Way GMRS Radio. And a Flashlight, siren, and Cellphone charger. It runs off of 4AAs, but has a hand crank. The design seems superfluous, but those cutouts actually protect the knobs. There’s…

The Tank Prevents Propaneous Interruptus

If you grill using propane fuel, you need The Tank. It prevents that common problem where you suddenly run out of gas in the middle of an intense cooking session—it’s propaneous interruptus. The Tank is a typical 20-lb. propane container with a major difference: It has a gauge on top, an indicator valve that’s accurate…
