Toor Knives

Gear Guide

The Toor Knives Camp Axe was born out of necessity for a strong and capable tool that can tackle any fire prep or shelter-building task, at the site or out on the trail.  With an overall length of 12.0”, this axe takes up minimal space in your gear and is also a very comfortable mount. 

It’s broad head (4.25”) provides plenty of edge surface area when striking, while the short and steep bevel naturally pries wood open, requiring less force for splitting. The Camp Axe constructed of American Made D2 steel and comes standard with a flat hammer on the rear, which is perfect for setting camp stakes and various other jobs requiring blunt striking. Its blade is coated with KG GunKote, for corrosion resistance and general protection against the elements. 

The Camp Axe features a durable G10 handle, featuring Toor’s proprietary Dynamic Fluting™ texture, which provides smooth ergonomics in the hand, as well as extra grip when working in wet environments. Each groove on the handle flows perfectly with the hand’s natural positioning and forces proper hold mechanics while conquering the age-old challenge of offering both comfort AND grip. 

Each one is made at the Toor Knives manufacturing facility in El Cajon, CA and every Camp Axe comes with a genuine Hermann Oak leather sheath.

Camp Axe Specs:

  • Overall Length: 12.0″
  • Head Length: 4.25″

Helinox – At Home, Anywhere

At Helinox, we believe that furniture is meant to travel, so we’ve designed ours to be portable, durable and beautiful as well as comfortable. That means you can relax when you’re backpacking deep in the woods, sitting on an urban rooftop, lounging at the beach, car camping, or simply hanging out in the backyard. So lightweight and compact, you’ll want to bring your own chair to any adventure or gathering. 

The Chair Zero is our go-to chair for backpacking, bike tours, multi-day kayaking trips and really any activity where shaving weight and minimizing volume are critical. Imagine a comfortable, supportive backpacking chair that is featherlight, and ultra-compact. The Chair Zero is built with performance fabric, a seriously strong polyester ripstop that provides comfort and support while resisting damage from sun and weather. The frame is built with ultra-lightweight and exceptionally strong DAC aluminum alloy poles.

EXPED

Gear Guide
Gear Guide

MegaMat is EXPED’s original luxury sleeping mat that has been delivering an at-home sleep experience for thousands of car campers and overland enthusiasts everywhere since its introduction in 2011.

Available in multiple sizes, including duo (two-person), MegaMat has at its core 10 cm (4”) of just-the-right density, Oeko-Tex 100 certified, open-cell polyurethane foam for support and warmth. Horizontal air channels in the foam help reduce weight and packed volume without sacrificing comfort. To enhance the cradling effect, like a high-end home-based bed, the mat’s surface features a brushed, stretch tricot polyester that relieves pressure points (hips and shoulders) while evenly supporting the body across all surfaces, head to foot. 

MegaMat is self-inflating. When the inflate valve is opened, the foam expands and draws air into the mat. An EXPED Mini Pump is included to top-off the inflation and achieve the preferred firmness. Inflate and deflate valves are large, high flow-rate FlatValves™ – an EXPED “firstovation” (first-ever innovation). The inflate valve is equipped with a one-way flapper, allowing air to easily be purged during the night with the touch of a fingertip if the mat is too firm.

Vertical 3-dimensional sidewalls allow the top surface to extend all the way out to the edge of the mat without tapering, maximizing the usable sleeping surface – just like a bed at home!

67 Designs released the Garmin® Dashcam Connector , designed to work with the Garmin dashcam models that have a small ball socket including the Mini, Mini 2, 47, Tandem, 57, 66W and 67W.

Designed and made in the USA, these simple connectors are finely machined and finished from aircraft grade aluminum. At one end is a 20mm ball and at the other a connection sized just for the socket in the body of the dashcam.

“We developed this in response to a growing list of clients telling us they are augmenting their GoPro with a Garmin dashcam video footage. Many have also found a dashcam invaluable on the street in traffic incidents. We see a rise in the use of dashcams generally and it made sense to design and release this product” stated Pedro of 67 Designs.

The Garmin Dashcam Connector works with the Carbon Fiber SeriesTM arms that can receive the 20mm diameter ball and is available now.

DMOS Collective

Meet the DMOS Delta Pro Shovel. THE premiere automotive recovery shovel that turns heads as easily as it digs dirt. Portable, rackable, stashable AND full-sized. Brute strength to dig you out of anything and the toughness to survive. Designed in aluminum that won’t break your payload and is forever rust-free to be worthy of your rig.

Before the groundbreaking Delta Pro Shovel, you had two bad choices – a contractor’s shovel that was awkward to mount or stow or a short-shafted e-tool that lacked earth moving power. That all changed with the Delta Pro – it’s a revolutionary tool that melds the sharp-pointed, big dig strength of a full-length shovel with stashable, rackable ride-along, ready-for-action utility.

The Delta Pro combines state-of-the-art American engineering with heritage-quality American manufacturing. Tested to survive 1,000 pounds of leveraging force, being dropped from a 5-story parking garage, and being driven over, the high-strength Delta Pro multi-tool features a t-grip handle that extends to 51 inches and our patented, foldable locking 3-in-1 blade for power plus precision whether breaking rock-hard ground, digging wet, heavy mud or trenching soft sand. Available in aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum, the Delta pro is your go-to tool for your overlanding life.
