The KLAX Axe head is an EDC multi-tool for lumberjacks and lumberjills

The next time you go out into the forest to camp or hike, leave your axe at home and just take the KLAX Lumberjack Head from Klecker Knives.

The KLAX head is a stainless steel axe that does more than chop down trees. It features additional tools like a knife blade, hammer head, hex wrenches, bottle opener, ruler, and more.

The KLAX Head uses a special clamp so you can attach it to a handle that you supply yourself. That means that you can pack the KLAX without the handle and scrounge around for a limb when you need to use it. This saves space in your pack. Of course, you’ll need to find a limb to use it 🙂

You can read more about the KLAX Lumberjack Axe Head at kleckerknives.com and you can order one for $149.99 from Amazon.

Always be prepared with the Adventure Mate 5-in-1 outdoor multi-tool

I’ve never been camping, but when I daydream about being more outdoorsy, I can picture myself with all sorts of gear for both utility and protection. The problem is that too much gear weighs you down. Conrad Sayer of Australia has designed a modular 5-in-1 multi-tool that eases the burden of carrying too much gear but provides the essential tools you’ll want and need.

The Adventure Mate is a multi-tool constructed of rust-resistant carbon rolled steel that will stand up to chopping, sawing, hammering and digging activities.

The 5-in-1 provides a hatchet, saw, shovel, hammer, and a hook.

The design looks pretty well thought out. The knurled handle can be used with the hatchet head, the shovel, or the saw blade.

There’s a hammer built into the back of the hatchet head for any smashing activities, and the hook can be used for lifting pots off the fire, opening beers, and more.

When you get tired of the bugs and the dirt, the Adventure Mate tool packs into the included canvas pouch for easy transport to your next Adventure.

You can read more about the Adventure Mate at www.adventuremate.com and you can buy one for $149 – $169 from The Grommet or Amazon.

Relaxing with a good book on your iPad at the beach just got easier

One of my favorite vacation activities is reading a good book at the beach. Our usual destination is Sanibel Island, Florida at Ocean’s Reach condos where we usually carry chairs and an umbrella down to the beach so we can relax in the shade which is important if your method of reading is an iPad or Android tablet. But for those of you who like to actually lounge on the sand/beach and don’t want to rent or drag around bulky umbrellas and chairs, another solution is a ShadyFace Sunshade.

The ShadyFace Sunshade is a portable folding canopy that can be used when you’re laying on the ground, or it can be attached to a beach chair to provide an adjustable sunshade that has a built in universal tablet holder.

The top tilts up 180° or down 20° to block the sun’s rays so you can see the display.

The shade is made of ABS plastic so it’s light weight but strong, and the frame is made of aluminum. Everything folds up into a compact format and stows in an included canvas backpack for easy transport.

The ShadyFace Sunshade is priced at $149.00 and they also sell a pet sized version for $129.99. Visit shadyface.com for more info and Amazon to order.

5 gadgets that will make your summer sizzle

The dog days of summer are upon us. That means if you’re a kid, it’s time to get outdoors and have some fun before the summer ends and it’s time to go back to school and if you’re an adult, it’s time to relax and act like a kid. Here are 5 gadgets that can help make the rest of your summer one to remember.

1. BBQ Dragon Chimney of Insanity charcoal starter – Summer is for outdoors and there’s nothing better than a juicy burger or hotdog hot off the grill. The BBQ Dragon Chimney of Insanity is a charcoal starter that will help get those coals glowing bright red so you can be flipping burgers as fast as possible.
Price: $29.95 from Amazon.

2. Off Grid Tools Survival Axe Elite – If your idea of a great summer is heading out to the woods for an epic camping trip, then don’t forget to pack the Off Grid Survival Axe Elite. This outdoor multi-tool puts a hatchet, a hammer, a saw blade, hex wrenches and more in the palm of your hand. It will also come in really handy in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
Price: $79.25 from Amazon.

3. DynaTrap DT2000XL Insect Trap – Enjoying the outdoors is all fun and games until the blood sucking vampires of the air (aka mosquitoes) come out to play. Nothing makes me want to run back inside faster than hearing that high pitched whine of a mosquito flying around my head. These insects are not only annoying, but they are a health concern. So trap them with the DynaTrap which can cover a 1 acre area.
Price: $134.99 from Amazon.

4. Parrot Swing drone – If just being outdoors doesn’t sound exciting to you, you need an activity to keep you interested. How about flying a drone like the uniquely designed Parrot Swing? As far as drones go, this one is really easy to fly. Even tricks like loops are easy to do with this drone, which is controlled either through your phone or through the included handheld controller. Just don’t rely on the built in camera, because it’s pretty crappy.
Price: Less than $100-$125 from Amazon.

5. JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Bluetooth speaker – Take your pool parties up a notch by blasting Despacito for up to 12 hours while you’re splashing around. You won’t even have to worry about this speaker getting wet because it’s waterproof.
