We expect the occasional bicycle RV launch, but Grounded has released something we weren't expecting at all. Its T1 micro-camper is a live-in e-trike-powered tractor-trailer with standing height interior, panoramic windows, and space for two.

Disposable plastic utensils aren't just eco-unfriendly, they're also flimsy and easy to lose inside bags. The Kopak Utensil Set is designed to be a greener and more practical alternative, with a nesting, magnetic-coupling, machined-aluminum design.

Unlike many camping trailers, Canadian builder Mission Overland's versatile Trail Dog gets a foldout ramp at the rear – making it easy to wheel in ATVs, dirt bikes or mountain bikes for your off-roading adventures.

A new soft harness system out of the Technical University of Munich works like a pair of shorts to reduce the exertion needed to walk or jog by up to 18%. The system is easy to put on and take off and holds promise for helping anyone get more mobile.

Mountain bikes have a way of getting muddy, while their riders have a way of getting dirty and sweaty. The latest offering from outdoor gear company RinseKit was designed with these facts in mind, as it combines a tailgate pad and a shower.
