Is all this warm weather leaving you with dreams of camping and frolicking in the great outdoors? Just be careful out there, all those hours hiding away in your basement probably left you pretty white (Scott Barr), you might want to add a little sunblock. Well this Camp Stove Toaster might make camping a little more convenient for you this summer.
Need to use your hose a lot, but don’t really have time to deal with it? Watering systems are becoming very complicated and this system just adds a little to a simple one. The Dual Hose Programmable Timer could make things a little easier when you are working on your yard.
The timer just attaches to your regular outdoor faucet and actually splits the stream of water. It allows you to have two hoses going at once. The great part is the timer, you can program it to turn on and off whenever you want. You can program it for up to seven days in advance. Which really isn’t necessary for the average Joe but if you have a large garden/yard it might be nice.
It would also be nice for people owning very small farms so that they don’t forget to turn off the faucet when filling up a trough. Trust me, that isn’t pretty. Unfortunately it is a little pricey at $129.95. However, it might be worth it for all the water you save.

It’s always nice to have a patio for all of your barbecues. It would seem everyone has them anymore, which might influence some to change theirs up a bit to stand out from the crowd. Well these tiles of concrete could help with just that.
Although the concrete seems plain at first sight, if you stick around to see it rain, it will reveal another side. When this concrete gets wet a cute pattern shows up. In addition to this star pattern I came across a photo of a flowing vine as well. Those are the only two designs I am aware of, but there could be more out there.
These tiles were created as a graduation project and are known as Solid Poetry. If you would like to find pricing you will have to email Frederikmolenschot.

Are you getting frustrated with the sun? Not achieving that skin cancer as early as you would have like? Well now the Sun Pod is here to help.
Sprinklers are the one gardening system that haven’t changed a lot in the past 20 years. Yes, the more elaborate designs (aka the expensive ones) have evolved a bit. However, the classic that you attach to your hose isn’t that much different. The Noodlehead Sprinkler adds a great twist to the design a lot of us grew up with.
Who doesn’t like a glowing garden? Add a couple of special mushrooms and it will glow all night long. No not the recreational kind, these are made out of blown glass. It adds a bit of fun to even the worst garden.
It would seem that little boys never do get over their obsession with trains, and this would be proof of that. Made by Farmer Grill it measures 103 inches long and the whole shebang come to a total of 560 inches. I’ve heard of having an obsession with your grill but this is taking it a bit far I think. However, I could see how it would be nifty for your restaurant.

When I think of camping, I think of roughing it. You know, the kind of camping where you have to hike to get to your campsite, and the most high-tech equipment is a flashlight or a lighter. Unfortunately, with today’s “always connected” mentality it’s hard to completely unplug for a weekend getaway.
The last time I was trapped at the top of a burning building, I was quite miffed that it took firefighters so damned long to reach me climbing up their ropes. In fact, I was so annoyed that I refused to go back down with them until they’d talked me through the complaints procedure and given me a form to fill in. All that unpleasant paperwork would be a thing of the past if they’d only had Atlas Devices’ Rope Ascender.
Grill Alert consists of two units; A transmitter, a stick-like device that is jabbed into thie of meat in the grill, and a receiver that is put on a table nearby so that you can monitor the meat. Besides being a thermometer, you can set the level of cooking you want (rare all the way to well done).
This device is great if you have a smoker that smokes meat over a long period of time (I am investing in a smoker, so when I get it, a review will come for sure). If you don’t want to sit next to your smoker for hours (like most people), you can carry around the receiver and it will beep when everything is ready.
The receiver is LCD, and has bars and words to guide you through. The whole unit can be bought for $75 USD over at Brookstone.
