Camping with your dog can be fun, but it does also pose a few challenges. The two-person Kings Peak Tent was designed with that in mind, as it has a separate section – complete with its own separate door – specifically for Fido. First of all, why wouldn’t you want to have your dog freely roaming inside the tent? Well, […]

The Royal Navy’s NavyX autonomy accelerator team and private companies Malloy Aeronautics and Planck Aerosystems have been testing the potential for heavy-lift Minerva drones to locate and aid sailors that have fallen overboard until help can arrive. On even the smallest boat, hearing the cry of “person overboard” is something you always hope is just another practice drill. Finding and […]

Hyperloop Transport Technologies has presented an ultra-high-speed shipping port logistics system it says can shift up to 2,800 containers a day, covering hundreds of kilometers in minutes – while decreasing emissions wherever it’s rolled out. The whole thing would be like a giant cargo-carrying version of the pneumatic tube systemsthat once blasted thousands of messages around every hour, back when […]

Since starting out with small backpacking stoves way back in 2011, Texan outfit Solo Stove has continued to build out its catalog of fire pits and grills to go with them. The company has now introduced a new cast-iron grilling system designed to fit snugly over these fire pits to turn them into camp-style cooking stations, while using a clever […]

The “floating” solar roof in Sweden’s Västerås Travel Center may be just an illusion, but the power it generates is entirely real. The design for the new transportation hub will include several other sustainability features, including rainwater recycling, and allow for better access to the city’s public transit stations. More than just a landmark, the travel center will serve as […]

Utah-based outdoor gear company Klymit got its start with gas-insulated inflatable clothingover a decade ago. It has since sold off that part of the business, but inflatable design remains a cornerstone of its lineup. The new Everglow Light Tube extends that design to a category of hardware you’d probably never think of inflating: camp lighting. The LED tube takes advantage […]

With a princely heritage and sub-zero ambitions, the all-electric Venturi Antarctica has been slowly evolving for more than a decade, preparing to tackle the extreme weather and terrain of the Antarctic continent. The snow-and-ice-hungry all-terrain mini-tank enters its third iteration this month as it prepares to embark on a grand Antarctic mission in December. The latest version gains a new […]

Developing forms of plastic that don’t take centuries to break down after use is a common objective among eco-conscious material scientists, and lately we’re seeing how bacteria might offer a helping hand. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have taken this idea one step further, by demonstrating how an engineered form of E. coli bacteria can be used to turn […]

Last year, startup HitchFire launched a vehicle-mounted swing-away grill called the Forge 15. Now it’s grown that grill into a more robust cooking station complete with cutting board table, side burner and refillable LPG tank. The new Ultimate Grill Station readies nomadic cooks for even more successful tailgates and impromptu roadside grill-outs. When the minds behind Tepui rooftop tents introduced […]

While many cyclists use apps such as Google Maps to navigate city streets, glancing down at that cluttered map display can be confusing. The Beeline Velo 2, however, is designed to keep things simple and easy to read. First of all, as the Velo 2’s name implies, it is not Beeline’s first product. The British company previously released a device […]
