It’s all about compromise: I’ll go on this stupid rafting trip, but you have to let me bring my TV so I don’t miss a single Sponge Bob episode. The Chinavasion Waterproof 1GB Digital Video Player will let you catch all the laughs of Bikini Bottom while water sprays over the side of your raft and guides scream in your ears to “Paddle!†It’s waterproof down to 3 meters, so if you get pinned underwater you can count on the comfort of TV to make your last moments on earth enjoyable.

This guy made a Bamboo Mountain Bike Frame back in June of 2004 in his house. His last update in 2006 said he was still riding the bike without any problems, but since then no one’s heard from him. Build your own from the little bamboo plant you have growing in the kitchen and ride it when you’re feeling risky.

Instead of eating pancakes while trying to cook the second course of dehydrated eggs on your Pocket Rocket Stove, fire up the Coleman Gemini Dual Burner Stove and put out a real meal. The Gemini Dual Fuel Stove lets you independently adjust the two burners, and it runs on white gas or unleaded fuel that you siphoned from an SUV at the trailhead. It won’t fold up, so it’ll be a bit awkward in your backpack, not to mention that its sharp angles look like they were designed to punch holes in dry bags. The Gemini Stove weighs 33 ounces and costs $140.

I thought that all the doping made the Tour de France a little more exciting this year—you had no idea who was going to win. It would have been great for Leipheimer if he’d known that Vinokourov was going to get kicked out so he could have concentrated on getting the lead instead of dogging Vino, but like I said, pretty exciting. Of course, not everyone agrees with me, as evidenced by the sales of these $79 Dopers Suck Jerseys. If you don’t want to spend that kind of cash, but still want everyone at work to know your stance on doping in cycling, check out this $14 Dopers Suck Coffee Mug.

Leave the Swiss Army corkscrew at home and fill your backpack with Katadyn’s dehydrated red wine. This powdered red has an alcohol content for 9.27% and it goes wonderfully with any kind of dehydrated astronaut food. Katadyn also makes a mulled wine that can be heated up for arctic expeditions. The packs of red wine cost about $7, but they’re only available in Europe.
