Truma:

The Truma Cooler C96 DZ

The Truma Cooler portable fridge/freezers are the perfect mobile fridge for camping, traveling, and leisure. Truma Coolers reliably cool or freeze products down to -8° F (-22° C), even in high ambient temperatures. Dual Zone models, like the Truma Cooler C96DZ, include two individually adjustable temperature zones allowing campers to have both a refrigerator and a freezer on the go. Truma Coolers are built for continuous and robust use, with reinforced corners and stainless-steel hinges. Truma also took special care to make their fridge/freezers flexible and space-conscious by adding 12/24 volt connections on both sides of the cooler as well as allowing the lid to be installed to open from either side. The handles also fold flush to the side walls to save valuable space in the rig.

The Truma Cooler C96 DZ can be controlled via Bluetooth with the Truma Cooler App, available as a free download on the App Store and Google Play. The Truma Cooler App allows campers to check their cooler’s temperature and control functions remotely within Bluetooth range. This is perfect for long road trips so a passenger can check the temperature on their phone and make adjustments on the road. This eliminates extra stops to check the cooler and ensures you never arrive at your destination with spoiled food or melted popsicles. 

Available functions of the Truma Cooler App include:

  • Switch appliances on and off
  • Adjust and check temperature
  • Switch turbo on and off
  • Change battery discharge protection
  • Check battery voltage

The COMBAR™ FoldaXe

The COMBAR™ FoldaXe is a two-in-one powerful yet streamlined outdoor multitool for chopping, splitting, and hammering. It combines timeless tools with cutting-edge technology to create a first-of-its-kind folding axe and hammer. The glass-reinforced polymer handle provides the foundation. The cleverly engineered head allows the FoldaXe to transform from a stowed position to hammer to axe in seconds. Finally, the hollow, grip-textured shaft doubles as a storage capsule to house personalized, mission-specific kits.

This super premium large format multitool is built with an unbreakable design and uncompromising selection of materials, including 7075T6 aircraft hard-anodized aluminum and 420J2 stainless steel. Each element has been crafted expertly, undergoing rounds of iteration in our development process to be perfected. Based on extensive experience in survival situations, the tool is built especially for outdoor enthusiasts. In addition, the FoldaXe’s lightweight and compact size makes it easy to transport and stow.

The textured ergonomic handle offers excellent grip and control while using the hatchet or the hammer, allowing for finesse or power depending on the task. The handle is long enough for one-hand or two-hand control and provides a sense of dexterity and confidence. Overall performance is like that of a full-sized axe, yet comes in a design that’s packable enough for toting deep into the backcountry.
The COMBAR™ FoldaXe can also be paired with the our signature pro kit – knife and saw – creating a genuinely elite tool for five of the core survival tasks: chopping, splitting, hammering, cutting, and sawing.”
