Gorillapod, etc.

Came across a few items at ThinkGeek that might be of interest:

Gorillapod

Grilliput Compact Grill and Grilliput Compact Firebowl

ToolLogic Firesteel Knife and/or Swedish FireSteel

I have the Grilliput. Hands down, one of the top pieces of gear I own. Just took it with me to Oregon, in fact. Build a little charcoal fire, place the grill over the coals, cook to taste, remove grill, add firewood, and you have an instant campfire. The grill packs down to the size of a track-and-field relay baton, so it's very handy for traveling light.

Jeff-
Do you have the bowl too?
Thinking this could be a neat thing to have.

Thanks Richard for bringing this to attention.

No.

I suppose the bowl could make it less unpalatable to places like BIBE where ground fires are not allowed. I've found that the grill works just fine with the coals sitting under it, unencased.

Cool...thanks Jeff.

This looks perfect for taking late afternoon pics from the porch of the Terlingua Trading Post.  Just remember to remove it from the bottle before trying to drink!

OSN CP-5 Digital Camera Pod

Well, you certainly stimulated the economy there RichardM and helped out Wally Worlds bottom line...

I've seen a couple of reviews of the large Gorillapod being used with a standard SLR and medium weight lens and the concensus seemed to be "not with my camera".

RichardM....I only have one question about the 'bottle mount'.....If you put it on a 2-liter of soda and drop in some Mentos, can you get aerial shots? That i gotta see..... :roflmao:

If you try it, be sure and post the results here.

Great idea Richard, do they make one to fit a beer can.  :shock:
