What makes this compass truly stand out is its ingenious dual functionality. On one side, you have a liquid-filled compass that offers unparalleled stability, even in the most demanding conditions. Its oil-filled chamber reduces vibrations and keeps the needle steady, ensuring accurate readings whether you’re navigating under the canopy of a jungle or in the swirling winds of a mountaintop. On the other side, a thermometer provides clear Celsius readings, a feature that’s far more useful than it might initially seem. Knowing the exact temperature can inform everything from the gear you wear to the precautions you take in extreme climates. It’s a small detail that can make a big difference when it matters most.

There’s elegance in how these features are integrated into a single, compact tool. Available in two variations—a single-ear and a double-ear design—it offers options to suit different needs. The single-ear version is lightweight at just 48.5 grams and streamlined, perfect for those who prioritize simplicity. The double-ear version, which weighs 53 grams, adds extra versatility, featuring a quick-hook dual-carabiner design that allows you to carry additional items like water bottles or tools. This clever functionality transforms the compass into more than a navigation aid; it becomes a cornerstone of your gear setup, enhancing convenience and organization on the go.

Crafted from Gr5 titanium, the compass is as durable as it is lightweight. Titanium’s reputation for strength and corrosion resistance ensures this tool can handle the rigors of outdoor exploration without breaking a sweat. Whether it’s enduring harsh weather or surviving a tumble down a rocky trail, the compass maintains its integrity and performance. Its CNC-machined construction further elevates its appeal, lending it a refined, polished look that’s as much about form as it is about function. Tritium slots are machined into the compass’ rim, allowing you to add glow-vials so your compass is visible/accessible even in the dark.

Who is the 2-in-1 titanium compass for? Adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts, certainly, but its appeal extends further. Campers, hikers, sailors, and even casual travelers will appreciate its utility and design. The compass fosters a connection to the world’s natural magnetism, teaching users to rely on time-tested navigation methods rather than solely on digital devices. It’s a tool that reminds us of the joys of analog precision in a digital age. But it’s also for the aesthete—someone who admires the fusion of engineering and artistry. Its UFO-inspired shape isn’t just functional; it’s a nod to the imagination, evoking the spirit of exploration not just of Earth but of the unknown.

The titanium compass thermometer 2-in-1 multi-tool comes in both Celsius and Fahrenheit versions, depending on what metric you prefer. For those ready to add this versatile piece to their kit, the COMANDI 2-in-1 compass is now available on Kickstarter. Early bird pricing starts at $49 (for both Celsius and Fahrenheit variants), offering excellent value for a tool that feels like it should cost much more. With shipping estimated for February 2025 and worldwide delivery available, it’s accessible to adventurers everywhere.

Most advancements happening in the camper industry, of late – directly or indirectly – hint at pushing the boundaries of off-road and off-grid camping. If it were true for the manufacturers in the US, the idea has touched an Australian builder most fiercely. Perhaps so much so that the Queensland-based Patriot Campers (a recognizable name I’m sure) has designed and developed the ST5 Supertourer Finke Edition pop-up camper that blows the boundaries of off-road camping in desert dust.

Claimed to be the most advanced camper trailer in the world, the special edition ST5 Supertourer Finke is a premium (and feature-rich) variant of the standard version by the manufacturer. Its name is derived from Australia’s iconic Finke Desert Race and the construction is apt to overcome the most challenging terrains.

Designer: Patriot Campers

The special Finke edition doesn’t borrow the name for the heck of it. In fact, the brains behind Patriot Campers have been involved in the namesake off-road racing for over a decade. The new camper is therefore a consortium of their learning from the extensive involvement in off-roading competition and touring expertise. The wholesome rig with all its merits was launched by Patriot Campers at the 2024 SEMA automotive show in Las Vegas.

The ST5 Supertourer Finke Edition camper is a versatile living quarter on the road with robust riding antics and lightweight body parts. The camper is built with a combination of composite and structural aluminum and has a black canvas pop-out roof. The exterior pops with the green and white color scheme, carbon fiber decals, bronze-colored wheels and 35-in mud tires. The sports car-esque interior equipped with black Alcantara and green upholstery strikes plush at first sight. Carbon fiber table and benchtops in the living area, and bronze basin tap in the bathroom complete the look.

With what you get, the ST5 Supertourer Finke Edition is not any ordinary camping trailer. Hybrid by virtue, it complements performance and comfort and is designed thoroughly for off-road adventures with a Trinamic suspension system and 17-in rims featuring Method Wheels’s beadgrip technology for lowering tire pressures while negotiating rough terrains. The exterior of the camper makes more living space with an awning on either side, while a pull-out kitchen facilitates cooking savory meals where your journey takes you.

Small pocket-sized flashlights are a dime a dozen these days, especially in the era of EDCs or Everyday Carry bags. Many of these come in rugged designs with bright LED functionality, and most of them utilize rechargeable batteries for convenience. Of course, that implies having some sort of charger always at hand, which requires carrying yet another separate device in your kit.

This EDC tool, however, takes a cue from the now ubiquitous wireless earbuds design, providing a carrying case for the LED flashlight that also serves as its charger. Even better, you can actually use the flashlight while it’s still in its case, removing the need to fiddle with two separate devices when you’re in a hurry.

Designer: Olight

On its own, the Olight Baton 4 LED flashlight looks pretty ordinary. It has a small cylindrical body typical of tiny flashlights, though it boasts a brightness of 1,300 lumens and a throw distance of 170 meters. It has small LED indicators for its brightness level and remaining battery charge, but that’s pretty much it for the flashlight itself.

The real killer feature of the Baton 4 Premium Edition, however, is its 5,000 mAh charging case. It has a flip-top design that makes it easy to open and close with one hand. You can easily slip in any compatible Olight flashlight for charging, but there’s a special function when used with the Baton 4 or Baton 3 flashlights. You can simply flip open the cover and press the side button to turn on the flashlight while it’s still in the case, so you don’t have to lose time pulling it out and putting it back in again.

The case itself has dual charging functionality. It can charge the flashlight inside or charge a phone like a power bank. This means you don’t really need to carry a separate charger for the flashlight and your phone, as the case can do both. It might sound like a small convenience, but for people who always find themselves outdoors in the dark, intentionally or otherwise, it can be a critical space-saving feature that helps make room for more things inside their EDC bags.

The 60-liter capacity means you can load up everything you need for a multi-day trek, and with water-resistant materials, you don’t have to stress about a little rain or mud. BLUETTI has also thought about comfort: the backpack features an ergonomic design that distributes weight evenly across your shoulders and back, making those longer hikes feel a little less grueling. Plus, the MOLLE straps and compartments mean you can customize the layout to fit your style, whether that’s packing extra clothes, camera gear, or a favorite snack stash.

If you’re a true off-grid enthusiast, the solar compatibility of the Handsfree 2 really comes into play. Pairing it with BLUETTI’s PV120S solar panel, an optional 120W foldable accessory, means you’re no longer limited by access to a wall outlet. The panel is compact and designed to work seamlessly with the Handsfree 2, making it easy to recharge the 512Wh power station directly from the sun’s energy. Just unfold the PV120 during a break, let it soak up the rays, and you’re back in business—perfect for those multi-day treks where you’re far from traditional power sources. The efficient solar charging setup helps extend your adventure without interruption, keeping essential devices like cameras, GPS units, or even your laptop powered. When you’re done, the panel folds down to a quarter of its original size, and is designed to fit right into the backpack, occupying the space of a laptop.

When you do get back to having a traditional power supply around, the Handsfree 2’s power station recharges quickly using its turbocharging capability—about 45 minutes to reach 80% from a wall outlet. That means you can get back out there faster, instead of waiting around for hours. It’s details like this that show how BLUETTI has thought through the needs of anyone using their gear, whether that’s a serious hiker, a photographer, or just someone who likes their freedom with a side of connectivity.

The Handsfree 2 with the PV120S solar panel is priced at $599 for early adopters, while the smaller Handsfree 1 + PV120S solar panel bundle is available at $499, offering a more compact solution for those with lighter power needs. Both models feature BLUETTI’s robust LiFePO4 battery technology, known for its long-lasting durability and safety. With over 4,000 charging cycles, these batteries are built to endure years of regular use without significant capacity loss, making them ideal for extended outdoor adventures. They perform reliably across a wide temperature range, ensuring that you won’t have to worry about power drops in extreme conditions.

LiFePO4 is also safer than other battery types, with a lower risk of overheating, which is a crucial consideration when exploring remote areas. To further back up their durability, BLUETTI includes a 5-year warranty on the backpack itself, adding an extra layer of assurance. This combination of a high-performance battery and a reliable build makes the Handsfree 2 a compelling option for those looking to stay powered through all their off-grid explorations.

Ultimately, BLUETTI’s shift into the backpack space isn’t as random as it might seem. They’ve taken their expertise in portable power and applied it to the way people actually live and explore life – creating a functional wearable portable power solution with 60 liters of storage, rather than a beer-cooler-shaped power station that you have to lug around with you while tailgating or camping. The result is a backpack that keeps you connected without tying you down. And that means more time to focus on the trail, the view, and the stories you’ll take home.

I have a special affinity for folding knifes – they’re compact, safe when shut (by design), and can sometimes be extremely fun to deploy. However, once in a while I come across a fixed-blade knife that feels like it has the spirit of a folding knife. Meet the Harnds HK2024 Eggplant (or just Eggplant) – it’s compact, capable, and charming. Designed to be a full-tang knife with a neat sheepsfoot blade, the Eggplant may just seem like your regular knife if you’re just reading this text without looking at the images. Take a look at the knife, however, and you notice its most obvious design detail – a hole running right through the center of the knife. Wide enough to slip your finger right through, the Eggplant knife gives you a sense of reliability when in use – but when you’re not wielding its sharp blade, the knife doubles as a fidget toy, allowing you to spin it around for fun. Eventually, your hands and eyes fall in love with the Eggplant knife, making it a staple part of your EDC collection.

The mark of a good EDC isn’t just something that’s good-looking or functional, it’s EDC your hands can’t get enough of. Whether it’s playing with a wallet that fans your cards out, rotating your keys on your index finger, or playing with a switchblade or butterfly knife – the tactile experience of EDC plays a pretty important role in ensuring your mind falls in love with its design. That’s what the HK2024 Eggplant knife does with its ‘hole-punch’ design. It’s a knife you’ll absent-mindedly always want to have in your hand even when you’re not using it, and that’s really what subconsciously makes it such a handy little devil. The entire knife measures a mere 5.3 inches, with the blade clocking in at a compact 2-3 inches. The rest of the Eggplant is fairly grippy and ergonomic in hand (a sentence I never thought I’d say professionally), and its ambidextrous handle makes it perfect for both left and right-handed use.

The HK2024 comes in two variants: the D2 steel with a G10 handle and the N690 steel with a carbon fiber handle. The D2 version has the feel of a workhorse—ready to handle tasks from the mundane to the unexpected. D2 steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium material known for its excellent edge retention and durability, ideal for those who value a knife that can keep its sharpness through rough use. Pair this with a G10 sheath, and you’ve got a setup that’s built for those who expect their gear to take a beating. G10 is a composite material, strong yet lightweight, with a textured surface that ensures a solid grip, even when your hands are wet or the conditions get rough. The result is a knife that feels secure in hand, whether you’re cutting rope, working wood, or slicing through a particularly stubborn clamshell package.

The HK2024 Eggplant D2 Steel Variant

The HK2024 Eggplant N690 Steel Variant

Then there’s the N690 variant, which feels like the more refined cousin in this lineup. N690 stainless steel is prized for its superior corrosion resistance and sharpness, making it a great choice for environments where moisture or humidity might be a concern—think coastal hikes or rainy-day urban adventures. The carbon fiber handle adds an extra layer of finesse, offering the same lightweight durability but with a touch of elegance that makes it feel like something special. The carbon fiber sheath keeps the whole package sleek and minimal, reducing weight without sacrificing strength.

Both versions keep the blade length at 2.36 inches, with an overall length of 5.35 inches. This size strikes a sweet spot—it’s compact enough to carry comfortably but long enough to handle a range of cutting tasks. Weighing just over two ounces, they’re light enough that you’ll forget it’s there until you need it. The blade’s sheepsfoot design offers just the right amount of cutting surface for detailed work, like carving, slicing, or opening packages. The curved belly makes it good for rocking back and forth too – an essential for chopping herbs or mincing aromats.

Full-tang construction means the blade and handle are a single piece of metal, making the knife sturdier than those that rely on separate parts. There’s also jimping on the spine for better thumb control during precise cuts, and lightening holes in the design to trim down the weight. These are the kinds of features that seem small but make a big difference in use.

A fixed blade almost always needs a good sheath if you need to carry it around – and the Eggplant does come with one, made from either G10 or carbon fiber depending on whether you buy the D2 or N690 steel variant. The knife snaps into the sheath, and can be ejected with a click sound that adds that wee bit of audio feedback that feels really satisfying. The hole in the center of the knife makes un-sheathing rather simple, giving you a fairly good grasp as you tug the knife out of its ‘holster’ of sorts. With clips made from 420J2 stainless steel, you can attach the knife + sheath to your belt, bag, or even keep it in a pocket. There’s also a lanyard hole, letting you wear it around your neck or attach it to other gear. These options matter, especially when you’re out on a trail or need to access your knife quickly. It’s all about making the tool fit into your routine, not the other way around.

The D2 model offers finishes like black titanium stonewash or satin, while the N690 variant comes with a sleek satin look. These finishes aren’t just for show; they add a layer of protection to the steel, helping it withstand the scratches and scuffs that come with regular use. It’s the kind of detail that keeps the knife looking good even after months of carry.

The HK2024 Eggplant doesn’t try to overcomplicate things. It’s a knife that gets the basics right and adds just enough of a fun fidget-style interaction that your hands will intuitively and instantly get used to. Combine that with the knife’s solid build, its versatile blade, and fairly affordable price and you’ve got an EDC that’s a no-brainer.  The D2 version starts around $40, while the N690 model is about $74. Plus, the campaign promises free global delivery by December 2024, making it a potential holiday gift—or a new tool for your own kit to kick off the new year.

A pair of scissors might be fine for cutting paper and thin materials, but if you want the flexibility to face any task, you’ll want a pocket knife in your toolkit. Practical and portable, pocket knives offer a versatile tool for cutting, slicing, and anything else that needs a sharp blade. Not all pocket knives, however, are created equal, with many focusing on functionality or portability without paying attention to the desires of the people who will wield this blade. People, however, tend to select products that not only meet their needs but also match their sense of style, and this rather handsome titanium folding surgical knife delivers that kind of design that makes any task and outdoor adventure less stressful and more enjoyable.
