Anatomy model sleeping bag

Posted in Outdoors by Conner Flynn on February 14th, 2011

We’ve seen plenty of neat sleeping bags here at the Brick, but this is one I wouldn’t take camping. This thing is sure to attract animals, who think they can see your insides and pick your bones clean. Use it at your own risk.

The anatomy model sleeping bag is now available for sale. Maybe young doctors in love can get a pair and geek out, naming all the organs to each other at night. We say it’s just gross.

USB Pet Rock is still useless

Posted in USB by Conner Flynn on November 25th, 2009

USB Pet Rock is still uselessRemember the old Pet Rock craze of the 1970s? Well, it’s back and with a USB upgrade no less. I never understood the appeal of Pet Rocks myself, but maybe that’s because I’m not a sucker. This USB-powered update just sits there, like it’s predecessor and does nothing.

Much like the Tauntaun sleeping bag, the USB Pet Rock was an April Fools Day joke that has turned into a real product. For some reason.

Tauntaun sleeping bag now available for preorder

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on November 11th, 2009

Tauntaun sleeping bag now available for preorderIt all started as an April Fools Joke last year from ThinkGeek and that’s all it took to make the Tauntaun sleeping bag a hit. Fans demanded that it be made for real. The company has now made it so and you can finally preorder your very own for $100.

It’s a sleeping bag that looks just like a Tauntaun, with a saddle, printed intestines, and even a plush lightsaber zipper pull. Yes, but does it smell worse on the inside? Kinda depends on how often you use it I guess.

Tauntaun sleeping bag closer to becoming a reality

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on July 12th, 2009

Tauntaun sleeping bagYou may remember ThinkGeek posting an April Fool’s joke about a Tauntaun sleeping bag in April. We covered it here ourselves. Well, ThinkGeek was flooded with e-mails from people who, like us, wanted to own one for real. They got so many emails that they decided to explore the possibility.

The good news for us is that things are looking up. Think Geek PR man Shane Peterman says: “We are definitely trying to make it into an actual item to be sold on our site. As of right now, it’s still an “if,” but it’s turning into more of a “when.” Things are looking pretty good, we just don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves. There’s certainly been enough of a demand, both from customers and from those of us that work here. Right now, we’re aiming to have it available for the holidays or, at the latest, the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back next spring.”

Tauntaun sleeping bag

Posted in Star Wars by Conner Flynn on April 1st, 2009

Tauntaun sleeping bagSay you’re a rebel stationed on the ice planet Hoth. You venture from the safety of Echo base to find your missing friend. You’re locked out because they secure the base at night. So, you find your friend and he’s injured.

You have two options: Either slice open the belly of a Tauntaun and put your friend in it’s warm belly(Ewww!) or warm him up with this Tauntaun sleeping bag. I vote the sleeping bad, because we all know that Tauntauns smell even worse on the inside.

Selk’bag sleeping bag body suit

Posted in Apparel,Outdoors by Reuben Drake on October 14th, 2007

The Lippi Selk-bag is a sleeping bag with arms and legs to let you move around and stay warmLooking like a great big over-stuffed snowmobile suit, the Lippi Selk’bag is a “sleep wear system” solution to the restrictions of conventional sleeping bags. Named from the Chilean nomads, the Selk’nam, who had a great resilience for the cold the Selk’bag has a hood, arms and legs giving you the ability to move around freely while staying warm inside your bag. On those cold mornings of camping simply standing up without getting out of your bag is hard enough not to mention trying to shuffle or hop around.

The Selk’bag is made with a Nylon shell and a Polyester hollow fiber bonded filling giving it an “extreme temp” rating of -8.4 degrees celcius. It also appears to have zippers to close up at the end of the arms and vent your legs and sides if you get too hot. But, unlike our full-body underwear we’re not seeing an opening to let us pee without taking it all off, which is the primary reason we’re usually getting up when it’s still cold outside in the first place.

Posted in GPS,News by Paul Patterson on February 19th, 2007

Stranded Mt. Hood Climbers use Mountain Locator UnitsThree climbers stranded on Oregon’s Mt. Hood after falling from a snowy ledge on Sunday are equipped with Cellular Phones and Mountain Locator Units to aid rescuers.

The three climbers – two women, a man, and a Labrador – are able to maintain contact with rescue officials with a cell phone. The climbers also have at least one mountain locator unit with them to assist rescuers.

Mountain locator units or Personal Locator Beacons (PLB) are lightweight devices that attach to clothing and emit a signal which can help rescuers pinpoint the …
