Summer's almost over... Sorry, but it's true. All those things you wanted to do this Summer? Almost too late to do 'em.

There's still time to take that camping trip, though. Amd if you do, may I recommend one of these:

It's a fan you attach to the top of your tent!

Is That a Shower In Your Pocket?

I once met a guy who had to take a shower every morning for one full hour. Not “wanted to,” but for some unexplained reason (and I didn’t want to pry) had to. And not only that, but it had to be at six in the morning. Also, he took his showers lying down.

I’m 100% serious about this, and if you’re wondering what this has to do with the canvas bag pictured above:

It’s a Pocket Shower, which only runs for about eight and a half minutes. What does that mean, friends? Well, it means that normally the Pocket Shower is 3”x6”, and weighs about four and a quarter ounces. If you fill it with water, though, it holds enough to shower you for the aforementioned amount of time. You can adjust the intensity of the shower with the easy to use dial, and there’s a twenty foot long cord, so you can hang the thingy as high as you can climb.

In case you can’t tell, this is perfect for camping. And not for the guy mentioned up top.
