Oh! Gizmo

When I go camping, I like to stick to a tent and a sleeping bag, rather than taking a big RV like some people tend to do. I like not being troubled by all of the extras and just enjoying nature. Unfortunately after a few days of enjoying nature, one can get a very unnatural smell. A lot of campgrounds have showering facilities, but if you’re out in the wild, you won’t be as fortunate. If you are still wanting to take a nice hot shower now and then, I suggest investing in one of these Zodi Camp Showers.

The shower holds enough hot water for you to get a good 10-minute shower, which should improve your smell considerably. The water can be adjusted up to 100 degrees and is heated with small propane tanks while the pump is powered by 4 D batteries. That hot shower comes at a hefty price, $90 to be exact.

The thing about wheels is that they’re designed specifically to maintain their roundness. Those of us who bike to work (I should clarify that I do not bike to work because my home is appx. 2,000 vertical above my office and I’m just not that tough) find that although bicycles are to some extent portable (and even foldupable), the damn wheels just don’t get any smaller. But wait… They DO! Duncan Fitzsimmons has invented a full size, folding bicycle wheel, designed to be combined with other folding bicycle parts to create “a really high end city bike or courier bike that can fold up into a package like a golf bag, which could go into an overhead rack on a train or go into a plane locker.”

Fitzsimmons is reportedly working with “major manufacturers” on the design, but because it’s going to have to be made entirely of carbon fiber so as not to weigh a ton, don’t expect it to be cheap. Video after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
