Urban Quiver Camera Bag

The standard camera bag is fast becoming the modern day fanny pack.  With tourists in large brimmed hats, hiked up tube socks and t-shirts displaying their excitement for the city they’re visiting carrying the small rectangular bags around, it’s high time for guys like us to find a more stylish option to tote our camera equipment around in.  What looks at first like a wide-ass ninja sword sheath, the Urban Quiver Camera Bag is actually the ultimate means of camera gear transport.  Designed to more efficiently hold long pieces of equipment, the bag also keeps everything safe since the main compartment can’t be opened while you’re wearing it – hello subway. The inside of the tubular bag has three movable dividers so you can arrange all your gear how you see fit, and since it won’t add a disproportionate amount of weight to one side of your body, you can ride your bike with it without fear of teetering over and crushing your pricey Nikon. $125

Emergency Fire Starter

I'm use to using Zippos to light the cigarettes of beautiful women emerging from late night drinking establishments, hoping that our skill in opening and closing the little silver lighter faster than Wyatt Earp would somehow entice them into our abode.  While this has rarely panned out, I still carried the trusty lighter around with me even if we didn’t light up ourselves.  When I take my life out of the after-hours of the city and into the twilight hours of the outdoors I switch over to this Zippo Emergency Fire Starter.  The orange Zippo has a reliable flint wheel and water-resistant waxed tinder sticks to light when you need to get a fire going pronto, because emergencies – like slightly buzzed smoking hot women – need to be acted upon ASAP. $16

eco-friendly vehicles

They say if you do what you love you’ll never work a day in your life. That’s a load of crap. Ultimately you’re just going to spend more sleepless nights making sure every last detail is perfect. Case in point, the engineers at Lito Green Motion. Two long years of development work from bike enthusiast engineers resulted in this, the Sora Electric Motorcycle. It might look like it’s from Tron, but it’s anything but a figment of your imagination. It’s got specs like a normal motorcycle: two wheels, rakes, 708ft-lbs of torque, top speed of 120mph and a range of 185 miles, but that’s where the similarities to  its gas-guzzling brethren end. It also has an LCD touch screen, on-board GPS and the world’s first electric seat. Ride it like a cafe racer, street fighter or daily driver with one simple touch of a button.
