The Hyperlite Ultamid 2 is the Ultimate UltraLight Tent

As gear becomes more and more technologically advanced, tents are becoming lighter and lighter. None, however, quite reach the lightweight, durable, simplicity of the Hyperlite Ultamid 2. Weighing only 1.19 pounds (without insert or floor), the Ultamid 2 barely weighs more than the hiking boot on your foot, and far less than a bottle of water in your pack, yet is one of the most durable, rugged and convenient tent designs you’ll get your hands on.

Time to start gearing up for winter camping.

Luminoodle Outdoor Light - Hanging

Luminoodle Outdoor Light: Flexible Lighting For Adventures

Outdoor, portable lighting usually takes two forms: flashlights and lanterns. But the Luminoodle adds another option - a five foot strip of LED lights that is portable and flexible, and sort of like Christmas lights but....much brighter. It is totally waterproof and dustproof, IPX6 rated. You can hang it from trees, wrap it around objects, or stuff it into the diffused storage bag that doubles as a lantern. There are sliding magnets, universal ties and a utility loop for hanging convenience, and when packed down it's roughly the size of a softball.
