      Drinkable Water, Almost Anywhere,Thanks to the NDuR Straw

      May 4, 2013 /

      main

      When you build your zombie survival kit (bet it imaginary or sadly real), are you truly taking into account the word survival?

      I mean sure everyone packs up on guns, ammo, katanas and the like, but does anyone think about food, medicine and, most importantly, water?

      Many of us are fortunate enough to live in a part of the world where drinkable water is the last concern on our mind, meaning the only time we consider an instance where it is not, is when contemplating an apocalyptic scenario, or maybe while in the midst of a discovery channel marathon.

      If you ever truly want to be prepared for the worst case, when water is a luxury, though, take advantage of the newest technology in the field of sterilization by considering the NDuR Survival Straw. Like an item out of some “what if” scenario, the survival straw allows you to drink out of almost any source of water (sorry, no salt water), and convert it instantly into something safe and drinkable.

      The straw can filter out up to 99.9% of most harmful materials in the 25 gallons it can take in before needing replacement. It is also not only smaller than the average filtration kit, but it works much faster, and is even cheaper as it retails around $30.

      There are parts of the world who consider a device like this nothing short of miraculous. Even if you don’t live there, for any outdoor enthusiast, the NDuR is cheap and effective enough to have on hand, should you ever find yourself in need. For everyone else, just consider yourself one step ahead of the zombie survival game and own something practical to go along with that samurai sword collection.

      New Wool Blend Shirt Could be the Last Shirt You Ever Need

      May 2, 2013 /

      A question for you. Why would someone wear a shirt for a 100 days straight?

      There are several answers of course. You really like that shirt, it’s a harbinger of good luck, you’re really broke, you’re…umm…trying to win some sort of bet, and of course many others.

      Whatever your reason may be though, it is ultimately irrelevant as of course even the sturdiest of shirts need to be dried, ironed, and generally maintained in order to preserve their quality, meaning that the shirt of a 100 straight wears is in fact just a pipe dream.

      There is one upstart designer, though, by the name of Wool&Prince that insists that isn’t true. What’s more is that they aren’t relying on some space age material or microchip to accomplish it either, but are rather using a simple wool blend to craft a shirt that can be worn for a 100 days straight, without generating a single wrinkle, or producing one bad odor. Also, unlike your typical wool sweater, the material is apparently very high quality and actually comfortable to wear.

      While the 100 day wear spree may be a gimmick, it is one that proves the more interesting point that this is a durable shirt that can survive conditions both common and extraordinary and come out the other side in fresh from the dryer quality, with no more upkeep required than the occasional wash. While certain individuals like the business man on the go benefit most from this shirt then, it’s hard to imagine there isn’t a guy who wouldn’t like to have that one favorite shirt that just happens to be near invincible.

      Of course the point is that you won’t have to imagine any longer. The makers of the shirt Wool&Prince have already earned $300,000+ of their asking $30,000 goal, meaning it’s just a matter of time until you can own a shirt that’s Clark Kent sensible on the outside, and Superman durable within.

      Make a Perfect Fully Loaded Hamburger Just in Time for Summer

      April 26, 2013 /

      Long before the Vikings cleaned house during the draft, residents of Minnesota have had a reason to feel blessed, and it has nothing to do with the natural beauty of the twin cities, but rather comes from the divey interiors of institutions like Matt’s Bar and the 5-8 club.

      It’s called a juicy lucy, and it’s a hamburger stuffed with cheese.

      Now you’d think that something so incredible would be available at every restaurant on the globe in an effort to kickstart world peace, but the truth is that a professionally made juicy lucy isn’t easy to find outside of Minnesota, and making one yourself is sooner to result in a mangled hamburger with the barest specs of cheese mocking you for your efforts.

      That’s all changed now thanks to the stuff-a-burger. It’s a meat press that allows you to form the perfect ¾ or ½ pound burgers, with the right amount of room in the middle for a filling. Requiring considerably less effort than the hand-made method, the real draw to the stuff-a-burger is that it can form the perfect stuffed hamburger every time, and allow you to load it with such things as cheese, bacon, onions, or really anything you can think of within the reasons of your imagination, and concerned pleas of your cardiac physician.

      Just in time for the summer, though just missing my man’s kitchen mock up, and clocking in at just $11.95, I advise any grill master to ignore the “as seen on TV name,” and turn your next burger party into an occasion that will drop everyone at the table’s jaws just enough to fit one of the monstrous wonders this device is capable of  in.

      Building the Ultimate Man’s Kitchen

      March 30, 2013 /

      One of my favorite of the ’90s prime time sitcoms will always be “Home Improvement.”

      In retrospect, this is most likely because it introduced most of the world to Pamela Anderson and Debbie Dunning (more than you can say for even “The Wire”), but it also had some memorable gags, a host of hilarious characters, and some truly standout episodes, including the infamous introduction of the man’s kitchen.

      The first in a string of episodes where a common room is redesigned and “man-ified,” the man’s kitchen took the misogynist idea that the kitchen is only for women and presented one that was instead an almost cartoonish playground for the average man.

      While absurd, with the gadget explosion that has occurred since, there are now enough devices available to truly craft a man’s kitchen. Some of these accessories are absurd and lavish, while others are common and accessible. But when combined, they create the ultimate real life man’s kitchen.

      Grand Palais 180 Stove

      Let’s start with the impossible shall we?

      Your oven/stovetop is going to be the most important part of any kitchen, and if you really want something that will show off that idea, you need the king of all home ovens. Resembling a train car more than a stove, the Grand Palais wouldn’t be out of place in the home of an old world ruler or even steampunk baron. With its built in gas and electric ovens, as well as a variety of different stovetop grill and burner options, it also happens to work perfectly as the centerpiece of the man’s kitchen.

      Sure they run around the $46,000 range depending on enhancements , but dammit we can do this thing cheap, or we can do it right.

      Hot Dog Toaster

      Of course it’s not all ovens worthy of the 1%, as some parts of the man’s kitchen are just down to earth essentials.

      Since nothing is more essential than the need for a hotdog, instead of wasting your time with the stovetop or microwave methods, why not make the perfectly cooked hot dog and bun, as easy as you make a piece of toast? It’s possible with the pop-up hot dog toaster, which cooks hot dogs of your chosen consistency in mere minutes with the ease of the average toaster. It’s even got compartments enough for two hot dogs and buns and the design goes well with that $46,000 oven.

      A steal at $19.99, this one even got the Barney Stinson seal of approval.

      Crème Brule Torch

      It’s the eternal question man has asked since the dawn of the caveman.

      How can I use more fire doing this?

      In the kitchen, the answer is simple thanks to the standard crème brule torch. Ideally used to brown that famous tricky desert, considering it’s nothing more than a small scale blow torch, feel free to use it to make anything where direct heat is required (like melting cheese over nachos) twice as bad ass, and ten times as manly.
