The Wilderness came up with the Wilderness Hunting Vest as a lighter, more versatile alternative to their Wilderness Hunting Shirt. Made from 50/50 NyCo MultiCam fabric, the vest features dual 5″x7″ flat chest pockets and dual 6″x7″ bellowed hip pockets, all with Velcro-closure flaps. For an additional fee, the vest can further be customized with 6 and 7-slot Velcro shotshell holders, a rear game bag, and 3x size extenders, allowing the vest to be open while still secured for better ventilation or fitting over bulky winter clothing (custom options seen above).

Available from Frontgate, the Electric Amphibious Vehicle is an RC boat capable of land navigation with the push of a button. When in land mode, the EAV can carry up to four beverages via the wheel wells and features independent left and right wheel controls for 360° spins. It also comes with an on-board water cannon, should the need to douse unsuspecting victims arise. Electric Amphibious Vehicle is a little misleading, though; Electric Amphibious Drink Cart would be more accurate, if not as impressive, product name.

Joerg Sprave has done it again. This time, he’s built a “SSC203” – Sling Shot Channel 203 double-barreled under barrel knife launcher for his deactivated M16A1 (M16A2?). It was designed to work with the new Cold Steel “Hide Out” knife, and can fire either one barrel at a time, or both at once, with roughly 6 feet of effective range.
Available in two fabrics, Nature-Like Nylon and 25%/75% Nyco canvas, and three colors, Green, Grey, and Khaki (nylon only). Additionally, Clothing Arts also has adventure shorts, and business pants and shorts in the P^Cubed line.
This video combines one of the funniest moments in ‘The Venture Bros.’ with ‘Team Fortress 2’ a Valve game that isn’t ‘Half Life 3’.
Photographer Sabine Pearlman photographed over 900 cross-sections of various cartridges, with a small sampling available as a portfolio on her site. From left to right, the cartridges featured above are a 7.62x51mm plastic short-range training tracer, 7.92mm Mauser, and 6.5x55mm wood bullet blank. The cartridges were photographed in a Swiss WWII bunker in October 2012.
Successfully funded on Kickstarter, the ATOM is a key-shaped multitool that fits on a keychain. The tools on the ATOM include: bottle opener, hex bolt wrench set (3/8″, 5/16″, 1/4″), ruler set (imperial, metric), flat head screw driver set (1/8″, 3/16″), Philips head screw driver set (#1, #2), pry bar, hex bit driver (1/4″), protractor, cross-cut coarse file, single-cut fine file, and ripping tool. There is a website for the ATOM, but it’s not quite at the operational stage yet, so if you’re looking for further information on the tool, it’s best to check out the Kickstarter campaign page.
So it seems when Finn and Jake go to very distant lands, it’s less about having adventures and more about taking out terrorist strongholds.
Coming soon to a Kickstarter near you are Bawidamann Hangar 18 Pinups. A selection of Bawidamann’s classic pinup art will be represented as 54mm miniatures cast in resin. The project is currently “pending” on Kickstarter, but we’ll be sure to post when they’re available for funding.
Sadly, it doesn’t seem to be available for purchase anymore. May I suggest the 1st Camo Seersucker 3 button jacket instead?

The eternal war of the Greens and Tans told through the medium of stop motion film.
One of our readers alerted us to these fan-made ‘Borderlands 2’ belt buckles representing the various in-game weapons manufactures, as made by a friend of theirs. The quality is fantastic, and the creator hopes to possibly obtain licensing permission from Gearbox to make them an official product.
The inteliSCOPE is an app for Android and iOS smartphones that turns the device into a tactical optic. It features multiple self-orienting reticles, 5x digital zoom, drop compensation, recording and playback options, built-in compass, GPS positioning, shot timer, and local prevailing winds.
Additionally, the smartphone can be attached to a 1913 picatinny rail using the inteliSCOPE Tactical Adapter System. It’s made from high strength composite-reinforced polymer with a ruggedized tactile rubber finish. It detaches via a quick-release toggle, can be adjusted to portrait or landscape orientation, and allows for the user to shoot around corners with no head exposure. A Nerf rail adapter also allows the user to use the inteliSCOPE on any of the N-strike Nerf blasters.

Thanks to J. Smith for the tip!
That dog is pretty cool.
The S.H.O.V.E.L. or Semi-Horned Oblong Versatile Eating Ladle, is not just an ordinary titanium spork. It’s also has a serrated knife, bottle cap opener, and six feet of red paracord wrapped around its body. Well, all this, and it also happens to be open-source. The product page includes the data sheet and CAD files so, given the proper tools, you can make your own S.H.O.V.E.L. and even make improvements to the design.
So, the new Battlefield’s looking good.
Yeah, it’s far from recent, but the laughably bad Rogue Warrior game is always worth bringing up, if only for Mickey Rourke’s curse-filled performance of Dick Marcinko.
Superman is one of the most boring characters in existence, and this movie still looks great.
