If you're an avid outdoorsperson who explores nature with their dogs, the Satellai tracker could keep your pooch safe in the wilderness. This solar-powered gadget can beam your dog's location straight to your phone using satellite connectivity.

The BladeNex is a compact folding scalpel made from CNC machined titanium that's small enough to fit on your keychain and go wherever you do. Plus, it uses replaceable blades, ensuring it'll last you years and always have a sharp cutting edge.

Splitting the difference between a camping cabin and heavy-duty safari tent, the new K-Tent from Kudhva Kanvas is a glamping retreat meant to hop between destinations. Set it up permanently on your own slice of land or use it as a nomadic base camp.

Downhill skis can certainly be awkward to carry, but you know what? So can their poles! San Francisco startup Yardsale is out to change that, with customizable poles that cling together via integrated magnets.

Smartphone stands certainly are handy devices, but why tote around a tool that serves as nothing more than a phone prop? The TriPro Stand does a lot more, packing in features such as a blade, bit drivers, a knife sharpener and more.

Given how sharp utility knives are, you really don't want them deploying their blades accidentally. The Titanium Safety Portable Multi-Knife addresses that concern with a unique locking mechanism, plus it incorporates six other features.

It seems New Atlas readers like tent camping in all its forms – from backcountry to safari resort, and from ground to rooftop. Inflatables, expandables, vehicle tents and barely-there ultralights were among the most popular tents of 2024.

Trap doors, electric expansion systems and amphibious ebikes ... those are just a few of the ideas we saw pushed across the RV market in 2024. In fact, all those ideas (and plenty more) found their way into some of the market's smallest RVs.

Escapod teardrops have come a long since we reviewed the original Topo trailer back in 2019. Does the handsome fiberglas-composite Topo2 hold its own on a trip through some of the rawest terrain in the US Lower 48? Only one way to find out.

The Outlander 850 and 1000R, the largest of Can-Am’s ATVs, are new for 2025, with changes from headlights to tail lamps. I traveled to the rocky high elevations of British Columbia to climb mountains on these new Outlander models.

It seems to be an unwritten rule that when stuff breaks, there never seems to be a toolbox nearby. That's where everyday carry multitools can help, and the latest to blaze a Kickstarter trail is the titanium UltraFix Driver from TrekGear.

It was just a year ago that we first encountered a multitool which sported a tiny adjustable wrench. Well, the Orioners Z3 is the latest tool to also boast one of those, along with eight other handy features including a fold-out cutting blade.

While downhill skiing may look like a nice, smooth, swoopy experience, anyone who has done so will know that it can actually be quite a boneshaking affair. The ShredShox system is here to help, by adding shock absorbers to existing downhill skis.

We see lots of everyday-carry cutting tools here at New Atlas. But the NanoMax flip-open knife caught our eye because of the impressive width of a curved blade that looks like it could handle carving up a carrot stick as well as a stick of wood.

We've seen a few inflatable mattress kits tailored to Rivian's R1S SUV, but Hest has evaded inflation and launched a set of plush foam mattresses to turn the full-size electric SUV into a sleek, simple all-terrain micro-camper.
