A blast of clean water at a camp site is an invaluable resource. Aquabot is a new compact water pressurizer that fits on top of most standard drinking bottles with the potential to make our time off the grid less grimy. The product works by swapping the lid of a water bottle with a hand pump made with food-grade plastic, capable of three spray patterns of varying intensity. Outside of obvious creature comfort uses like improved camp showers and hand washing, the Aquabot's Kickstarter points out it's also useful for cleaning game and fish on hunting and fishing trips without running water.

Check out the ongoing Kickstarter campaign to read more and pick up an Aquabot, starting at $29.




The gents at Machine Era Co., like many before them, set out to make a new kind of wallet. They wanted something slim, something clean and something functional—y’know, the typical narrative. But what they came up with is anything but.

The company’s new Machine Era Wallet is a slick minimalist take on the common wallet made from your choice of fully machined flat black aluminum or solid brass. Secure your cards and cash with a simple elastic band, and there you have it—a super clean, simple design that’s tough as nails. It’s also worth mentioning it’s made entirely in ye olde U.S. of A.

In support of the project, the Richmond, Virginia-based company launched a Kickstarter that was successfully backed in five hours. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t get in on the early bird specials. Read up on the full specs and back the project below.

Back the Project on Kickstarter. It ends on Thursday, September 5 at 1:39pm.

Made in the U.S and hand constructed using 12oz 100% cotton denim and a 100% cotton trim, the Standard Work Apron brings the durability and romantic qualities of raw denim to the work space, or heavy-duty kitchen. Made by Denver-based Winter Session, the apron is available in both pure indigo and gray and has an adjustable neck strap that is secured with an overall buckle. Pockets cover the chest and waist of the apron and allow the wearer to stash a phone, tools or other supplies and keep hands free to work. Overall, the Standard Work Apron looks like a perfect fit for the stylish, yet practical, person and work space.

The Standard Work Apron is currently available from Winter Session online.
