It’s kinda genius. Listen to music, take calls, and actually see what the heck you’re doing at the same time while not looking like a total dork wearing a headlamp in a non-camping situation? Winner. The Bluetooth Beanie Hat comes in 8 striking colors, ok some aren’t striking, maybe none of them are striking actually, but there’s 8 colors. It has both speakers and a microphone built in so you can actually have a full on conversation while you’re running, walking, or doing anything else. Or just listen to music. With volume controls right on the side of the hat. All while keep your head warm with a winter hat. Winter is coming as the kids say.
Now there’s other bluetooth beanies out there, but what sets this one apart is the LED headlamp. Sure, you look a little bit like a Minion, but not 100% like one unless you get the yellow one like the person above. And maybe that’s a good thing. The utility outweighs the style here. It’s not that bad in reality. The light is of course rechargeable, via USB. We recommend taking the hat off before charging, but you do you. No wrong way as long as you make it work people. The hat’s made of acrylic and is one size fits most. Not sure what constitutes “most”, 50% maybe? Anyone know? Anyone care? Makes a great gift, stocking stuffer, or fashion statement for dog walkers. Or all 3 at once. Hat.

A Cooking Grate that Fits on a Spare Tire
Taking along a campfire grill to do some cooking in the great outdoors is a lot easier with the Front Runner Spare Tire Mount BBQ Grate. When you’re not using it, it slips right over your spare tire, taking up a minimum amount of space. When ready to grill, take the stainless steel grate off the tire (important!), place it on your campfire and throw on some meat. It’s gotta be meat- always meat.
Ok maybe pancakes would also be acceptable as long as there’s a bacon possibility. There’s 2 grill and one griddle sections for different cooking options. It also folds up and the legs detach, which sort of negates the whole point of it going over your tire, right? Still, it’s an interesting way to taking a camping grill along for the ride.

SUV Luggage Rack Tent
Ever wished you could just set up camp instantly anywhere you can drive to? You can with the ARB Simpson III Rooftop Tent. This tent unfolds in just minutes from your car’s rooftop luggage rack. There’s a retractable aluminum ladder to climb up and for support. Now you can camp out in comfort and ease, above the ground and protected from the elements. Watch how quickly and easily this guy sets up his tent atop his Toyota in this video:
The rooftop tent clears up valuable storage space inside the vehicle and packs up quickly too. It has a foam mattress built right into the bottom, screened windows and door, and is covered in a waterproof material. No more sleeping on uneven, buggy, muddy ground. Get up off the ground and get going in the great outdoors.
Charge Up in the Woods with a PowerPot Thermoelectric Generator
Astute campers will quickly realize that there’s no power outlets in the woods. So how to charge up all those fun electronic devices that you absolutely need while roughing it (cell phones, cameras, kindles, etc)? With a PowerPot Thermoelectric Generator you use your camping stove to power up your devices. The PowerPot uses the heat from the stove that you would be using anyway to generate power thermoelectronically.
It’s like free bonus power. No need to lug around extra batteries or some bulky solar panels. Let your camp stove do all the work. The PowerPot can generate 5w maximum and charge your phone in 1-2 hours (same as a regular outlet) via a 3 foot fireproof cable. The hard anodized aluminum pot holds 46 ounces (remember, we’re making a meal here, not just charging your iPad) and weighs 12 ounces total. Great for hikers, backpackers, campers and festivals.

Solar Powered Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
Listen to your music anywhere with the Solar Powered Wireless Speaker. Great for camping, the beach, backyards, picnics, and traveling. You don’t need to be near a power source or haul around loads of D batteries to charge it up- a six-hour charge of the solar panel in direct sunlight is enough for eight hours of playing power.
The speaker uses Bluetooth to stream music wirelessly from your iPhone, iPad or any other bluetooth device (auxiliary and USB inputs are available as well). It pumps out the tunes with a pair of 14 watt stereo speakers and even has a pocket on the back to hold your phone. A carrying handle seals the deal. You can also charge if via AC adapter if you need to.

Portable Deep Frying Grill
Camping and tailgating and backyard cooking just got deep- deep frying that is. Step up your outdoor cooking game with a Deep Frying Portable Grill. Take it to the next level and do more than just grill- deep fry too. The center reservoir holds 16 ounces of oil to make crispy fries or onion rings or donuts or fried dough or mozzarella sticks or chicken wings or other fried treats (fried oreos ftw). The outer ring is trisected into a grilling section, a flat griddle section and a “keep warm” section for added versatility:
You can even use the center section for sauteing instead of frying (if you want to be laughed at by all the jersey-wearing tough guys tailgating next to you). The frying grill comes with a detachable bamboo cutting board, hooks to hold your bbq tools, push button electronic ignition, an oil thermometer for the deep fryer, and a canister to store and transport the oil. It uses 1 pound propane canisters or larger propane units with an attachment. The whole thing folds down to less than a foot wide and comes in a carrying bag to keep your car clean. The grill costs $249 at Hammacher and yeah, I want one too.
