The Splitter – Titanium Multi Tongs

The humble spork has proven its worth as a do-it-all camping utensil, but here’s a new take on it. The Splitter is a combination of a spatula and spork that can work together to form a pair of tongs. The two individual utensils are made from titanium and nest together for easy storage in your backpack or cook kit. When it’s time to cook, a small pin at the base of the spatula’s handle interlocks with a slot on the spork to form tongs.

Rugged Road 65 Higher-performance Cooler
The Rugged Road 65 cooler has enough room for 55 pounds of ice or 65 12-ounce cans, yet it weighs under 10 pounds. Rugged claims that it’s up to 1/3 lighter than comparable high-performance coolers and has the ability to retain ice for up to 7+ days. The secrets behind this cooler’s weight and performance are its proprietary Rigorite shell—a material used bombproofing the Pentagon—and Fridgite insulating core (high-density insulation, secret composition). The cooler has a drain plug as well as a reversible lid with beverage stabilizers and a cutting surface. And if it ever ends up in the river, the Rugged Road 65 floats upright.
