If you're going to be carrying a compass anyway while out in the wilderness, why not carry one that performs multiple functions? That's the idea behind the Loki-Nav compass, which also packs a mirror, magnifying glass, and tinder-making wood file.

When you're backcountry camping, you'll likely be carrying a tent while using a trekking pole. The Trek-Tent combines both of those things in one device, which can reportedly be converted into a tent in just one minute.

Mobile tech company Oukitel made a splash at CES last month with what's claimed to be the first 33,000-mAh rugged smartphone with a built-in projector. Now the WP100 Titan adventure toolkit has launched on Kickstarter.

If you're tired of using a boring ol' remote for controlling your devices, you might like the CenWatch. It's a smartwatch that scans the underside of your hand, allowing you to make multiple commands via simple midair hand gestures.

This handsome titanium tool is first and foremost a bookmark. And it's possibly the most durable one you'll ever own. Equipped with a graphite pen, a screwdriver, a package opening edge, and a ruler, the BookBond Pen 2.0 isn't just for reading.

Although many multitools pack a ton of features, some of those features often take the form of tiny, near-useless tools. The VAK6 keeps things simple with a knife, flashlight and pulse ignitor, along with an optional cranked generator for recharging.

You pretty much always need keys, but it's often nice to have a few tools on hand, too. The VersaLink allows you to carry some of both in one modular, magnetic, titanium-bodied device.

Sure, electric cargo bikes may indeed be very useful, but they're also pretty darn long and heavy as compared to regular commuter bikes. That's where the Frolic comes in, as it can be quickly converted from the one to the other.

With help from small tracking gadgets plus the ubiquitous smartphone, we can now keep tabs on our belongings – wherever they may be. Now a startup is crowdfunding a nifty tag that includes an E Ink screen to display contact details and photos in color.

When it comes to motorized inline skates, pretty much every product we've seen requires you to buy a whole new set of electric skates. The Blade Booster is different, as it adds a removable powered wheel to your existing third-party rollerblades.

Crowdfunding on Kickstarter, FunPop is an electronic tabletop game that looks a lot like air hockey. Up to four players can duke it out with sliding paddles and marbles shot out of cannons, in any of three different game modes.

The evolution of the Octo carabiner multitool is an unusual one. The device started small, got bigger, but has now shrunk again. That small-again model, called the Octo Mighty, still manages to pack 18(ish) functions into a li'l titanium body.
