Holtkamper Kyte, Beautiful Design, What's Not To Love!

Going camping is sometimes a hassle, not with the HoltKamper. Set it and forget it. Almost like having your house at a campsite.
One-of-a-Kyte.
The Kyte pole-free awning is truly one-of-of-a-kind, worldwide. The pole-free awning 'floats' above the ground, without the need for any loose upright poles to support it. That places all of the awning space at your disposal! All you need to do is tighten the outer ends of the awning: the pole-free awning requires no ropes at all. The suspended carbon mast of the pole-free awning keeps the entire awning taught, even during storms. 
Bert Holtkamp, the Kyte's designer: "At our 'test rock' off the coast of Normandy the Kyte has had some very stormy conditions to contend with during the past few months. The pole-free awning is built in such a way that simply nothing can go wrong with it. The endurance test proves that beyond doubt." When the Kyte is folded in and out, the awning stays connected to the mast. Because of this, positioning the mast is a piece of cake. The carbon fibre makes the mast extremely strong, but at the same time very lightweight. In no time at all you transform a few metres of fabric into a majestic kite.
Sophisticated Roof.
The pole-free awning runs seamlessly into the Roof Extensions, which have been especially designed for the Kyte. These self-bearing roofs shield the windows and the side wall of the main tent against rain and direct sunlight
Control the climate.
The Kyte is equipped with a worldwide patented system for ventilation, insulation and condensation prevention: the Holtkamper Membrane Airco Tent system. Once you've used this system once, you'll never want to do without it. During hot weather (above 30 degrees) you open the roof and the hot air flows out of the tent. At the same time the sun is prevented from reheating the air in the tent: the air under the outer roof escapes straight away as soon as the sun causes the temperature to rise.

Pedal Lock by Cheng-Tsung Feng & Yu-Ting Cheng » Yanko Design


Pedal Lock by Cheng-Tsung Feng & Yu-Ting Cheng » Yanko Design
As we all start to bike commute more, this will be great, based on this application we have a bicycle lock that deters theft in a very clever way. The pedals double up as wheel clamps and are designed such that breaking the lock (or pedal) will not only be a tough job but also a foolish endeavor. Superb!

BioLite, My iPhone Too!

Little things like this make many people happy, including me. No more fuel to lug around and who does not travel with a phone anymore, you are tracking, geo'ing, surfing and the worst taking calls, in the end your phone will be charged and your meals cooked all in one unit, oh you can use it to work a USB light. 


Forget the fuel. Our stoves cook your meals with nothing but the twigs you collect on your journey, eliminating the need for heavy, expensive, polluting petroleum gas. It’s quick to light, fast to boil and clean to use.

Charge your gadgets. By converting heat from the fire into usable electricity, our stoves will recharge your phones, lights and other gadgets while you cook dinner.

Have fun. Like a campfire, you can sit around the CampStove and watch the flames dance as you roast marshmallows and tell stories with friends. 

Stay green. By using renewable resources for fuel instead of petroleum, you're reducing your carbon footprint. You'll also keep fuel canisters out of the landfill. 

Be prepared. The CampStove isn't just for camping; it's great to have on hand when the power goes out in a storm or other natural disasters. You'll be able to cook and keep electronics charged while power lines are down.

Support a better world. Half the planet cooks on open fires, leading to 2 million premature deaths each year and contributing to global warming. We're using the same technology inside the CampStove to bring clean, safe energy access to families across the developing world.

Magrette

Magrette a New Zealand watch company, has some wonderful designed watches. The Regattare, is simple, yet elegant, rugged and sophisticated. A watch that can be worn everyday. It has automatic movement, and two bands, rubber and leather. The bezel works a bit different than normal, you adjust it with a turn of the adjustment dial, like you would the time, eliminating any problems you might have while underwater, like bumping it or rubbing up against something, turn the bezel to a different time.

One concern I have, after wearing the watch for a couple hour of receiving it the pin came out, watch dropped to the floor, lucky I was on a carpet. I have set Dion a message, let's hope he gets back to me. I will keep all posted. A nice screw in pin like other watches of this quality would have been a better choice, especially if you are changing the bands often.

Love These Glove Or Are They Mitten


So having a mitten or glove has always been a preference for many. You either can't tie your shoes or you can, scratch your head or not, you get the idea. This design from CAMP-USA, the price is excellent as well, $80. 

ABOUT CAMP USA
CAMP USA is the exclusive US importer and distributor of CAMP Technical Adventure Equipment, the 120 year-old Italian climbing and mountaineering brand.
From our offices just outside of Boulder, we occupy our time obsessing over gear, taking care of customers, and exploring the Colorado rockies. Lunchtime romps in the Flatirons, morning alpine climbs in Rocky Mountain National Park, and dawn patrol ski tours on Loveland Pass keep us honest.
In addition to our small and dedicated staff, we rely on our athletes and customers for feedback and that not-so-subtle kind of pressure climbers like to exert when they talk about gear. If you have feedback or need anything from us, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for visiting.

• Updated for 2011
• Ski Mountaineering Competitions, Winter Running
• Attached wind shells hide away in a pocket on the wrist
• Durable synthetic leather palm
• Grip’R pads on thumb, index finger, and palm for superior grip
• Reinforcement patch to prevent abrasion from pole straps
• Terry wipe on thumb
The ultimate glove for spring ski tours and races! For pre-dawn starts and above tree line ridges when the fingers need a bit more protection simply pull out the hidden wind mitts. The coated ripstop nylon Windmit’N covers the fingers and thumb while leaving the palm exposed for good grip. The G Comp Wind is also a great glove for cycling in foul weather.
