Best products from r/amazone

I hear what you are saying and I have owned every manner of high-powered flashlight to include Pelican, Surefire, Streamlight etc... These gems are the best money you will ever spend on a flashlight when you consider a dollar for dollar comparison. This link goes to the one that is prime, but if you are not in a hurry, you can order from one of the Hong Kong companies that ship direct and get them for under 4 bucks. They take one AA battery. Are they the best flashlight out there? No, but they are damn good for the price. Good luck. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006E0QAFY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 edit:spl

Fenix PD35

Finding good flashlights is an odd little passion that I have. Of all the lights I've bought throughout the years, this is by far the best balance between performance, lifetime, and cost.

EDIT: I know this isn't technically a lantern, but it is more than capable of doing the job (moreso than most cheap lanterns, I'd say). Also, It can be used outside of camping. I keep one in my desk and another one stowed away in my car. It is extremely handy during the night if I need a light source.




Notable Features:

• 4 brightness settings; the highest one being as bright as my jeep's headlamps. you can practically light up an entire section of a forest with it. edit: this is a pretty accurate picture of how it performs.
  
  
• Strobe mode (I never really use it though)
  
  
• Full metal casing - It is extremely durable. Only time I broke the LED is when I accidentally dropped it 12 feet off a ledge onto concrete.
  
  
• Water resistant - I've gone swimming with it several times with no negative repercussions.
  
  
• Diffuser tip - This is the "lamp" part of the flashlight. with it on, you can easily illuminate a large room. Not to mention you feel like harry potter using that lighty wand spell, too.
  
  
• Rechargeable battery and charger. I highly recommend you buy these, as the batteries this brand uses are not so common.

fun to watch my office was a little too cold, so I tapped it to the top of the monitor, and it generated enough heat to get it going pretty good.

Also check out lockpicking. it's fun to get some practice locks, and gives you something to do with your hands, and nothing is more satisfying then a lock popping open :D

Did a ton of research for a camping trip last year. (assuming you mean hiking and camping, not just driving your car around)

For high-quality at a low price, my friends and I were completely satisfied by:

• Water Pump
  
• Pick up some Nalgene bottles
  
• Camping Utensil Set (seem to have gone up in price)
  
• Campsuds. A must.
  
• Amazing little Camp Stove
  
• And OMFG Raspberry Crumble was addictive!!
  
  (p.s. I bet /r/Camping has better tips than /r/amazone )

Is it possible for you to get a small Bluetooth speaker to keep some tunes going at a low volume?

This Anker speaker has great battery life and good sound for under $40. A little music, a pic of your loved ones, and a plant should give some life to your cube.

Printrbot Simple metal, fully assembled with auto leveling attachment. $599 with free shipping. I have one where I work. With just a little config file tweaking, it works great

A good quality pocket knife. Never knew how much I needed (or would use one) until I got one.

Something like a made in USA Kershaw. Great piece of gear.

I only use this every couple of weeks for maybe 5 minutes at a time, but I've had it for 7 months now and am happy with it. It's quiet, strong, and the battery lasts a long time. Other than the initial charge, I've only charged it twice now.

Instant tents are the best things ever. Mine has braved deserts, rainforests and even wintry weather during many festivals in different climates.

Also, I got the last one of these in stock, but so very useful.

I also recommend having at least 2 tarps. 1 for underneath your camp, one for foul weather or makeshift shade.

Assuming you're dorming, this will be your best friend. Makes pasta, rice, potatoes, and steamed veggies in the microwave.

Here is what I have: t100 $348/prime

Full Windows 8 (not RT), quad core, so anything windows works. comes with full latest ms office suite. screen/keyboard combo make for a great laptop that's portable and useful. hdmi out, 2 usb ports, sd card slot for expandable memory.

This version has 500 gb drive that comes in the keyboard.

Its your money, do as you wish. Heres one random item from my amazon wish list.
