Now Funding: GoSun Chillest Cooler
Memorial Day has come and gone, and you most likely encountered a cooler at some point during the long weekend. Big or small, it had some form of ice – either the big bag of ice from the convenience store, or reusable ice packs you pulled out of the freezer. What if you didn’t need either of those, and could still keep your food and beverages cold? That’s what the GoSun Chillest Cooler is offering up.

Now Funding: Magpie M-30+ Laser Measurer
I will admit, I have looked over at tools – circular saws, levels, and the like – that are equipped with lasers and ponder just how they’d fit into what I need on my workbench. I mean, c’mon, it’s lasers! Getting that clean line of direction is slick. However, if you relied on lasers to help you measure, then, all the better. That’s what the Magpie M-30+ is offering up in a super-compact package.

Now Funding: Into the Mother Lands
Some of the most engaging and entertaining podcasts I’ve been listening to over the last year or two have been those that are real-play shows that explore TTRPG systems other than DnD. To that end, there’s a Kickstarter going on now for one of the more recent, that’s actually still fleshing out the world and mechanics – Into the Mother Lands.

Now Funding: Ristretto 303
I can’t be quite certain why, but it seems like we’re in a whole new era of electric bikes. We’ve written about them before, and will continue to do so. It seems that designs have come a long way from trying to shove a small motor and battery pack onto a bike frame, and we’ve got stuff that purpose-built and looking more like a motorcycle than a bicycle. The latest, now going on Indiegogo, is the Ristretto 303.

Now Funding: Talon & Claw Dice
You may know Talon & Claw from the variety of gaming accessories that they’ve been making for the past few years, most popular of which being their dice vaults. Well, they’re looking to branch out, so along with launching some new vaults (and new engraved designs), they’re dipping their toes in the waters of some rather high-end dice.

Now Funding: Cellulose
With board games, there are many popular types of game mechanics. One of the most popular – at least when combined – is resource management and worker placement. You’ve got to make choices of where to deploy your workers to get the stuff you need to build better and better things. Want to do that in a literal biological scenario? Then check out Cellulose.

Now Funding: JoGo Coffee Brewing Straw
For brewing up coffee in the outdoors, you’ve got all manner of options. While I started out with an Aeropress for our car camping, now I’ve got a more old-school percolator setup for my camp stove. If you want something even more minimalistic than that, you can opt for coffee in tea bags, instant coffee, or the JoGo coffee “brewing” straw.
