Soft, Ultra Compact and Durable Towels!

Here is a pretty cool idea.
They take a 9.5" x 10" 100% Rayon towel and compress it into the size of 5 stacked nickels.
To use them, just add water to one of the tablets. It grows, then you unroll it.

• These compressed Towels are soft, durable, and bio-degradable.
• Each "Zip-Lock" style bag contains 12 towels

• Measures 4.5" x 3.5" x 1.5".
• Charges one, or two batteries at the same time.
• If charging 2 batteries both must be the same size, type and capacity.
• Also charges 21 sizes of GUM (prismatic) style batteries. GUM type batteries are uncommon in the USA, and are rectangular in shape.

Introducing: Hatsuden Nabe, The Fire Powered USB Generator 

The Hatsuden Nabe (roughly translated as electricity producing pan), uses thermo-electric technology to convert heat energy into electrical energy and charges USB devices.

At the heart of the Hatsuden Nabe is a thermoelectric generator module (TEG). A TEG is a device that creates a voltage when there is a different temperature on each side of the device. This TEG is made with materials developed in Japan for recovering waste heat in industrial applications and is capable of operation at extremely high temperatures, like found in a wood camp fire.

The TEG module used in the Hatsuden Nabe is mounted in a cavity on the bottom of the pan. One side of the TEG is exposed to heat from a fire, and the other side which is thermally connected to the interior of the pan is cooled by water inside the pan. When heated with a wood fueled fire, the bottom of the pan will be exposed to temperatures in the range of 450 to 550 degrees Celsius. In a few minutes the water inside the pan boils and maintains a constant temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. This creates a temperature difference of 350 to 450 degrees Celsius (662 to 842 degrees Fahrenheit). It is this temperature difference that the TEG module uses to generate electricity.

NOTES:

• Water must be inside the pan during operation. Always keep the pan filled at least 1/3 with water or the thermoelectric generator module will be permanently damaged.
• Clean the inside of the pan by hand and do not submerge in water. The bottom of the pan housing the TEG module is not waterproof and should never be exposed to water.
• Check the devices you intend to power for charge current requirements.

Optional OliCamp Stainless Steel Space saver Cup and cup adapter.

This cup adapter works with the popular OliCamp or GSI brand cups (the cups that fit on the bottom of a Nalgene bottle) to sit deeper in the firebox stove, exposing them to maximum heat with the least amount of fuel usage. The adapter closes the top of the FireBox stove and contains and concentrates heat. This causes the water in the cup to boil very fast even with few coals.

Organic Black Chia Seeds #10 Can 

Chia seed is an ancient food that has become very popular of late because of its rich nutritional content.

For centuries, Native Indian Peoples in the Americas have used Chia seed as a staple food.  Aztec warriors of Mexico subsisted on Chia seeds during their battles and hunting expeditions. American Indians of the Southwest would eat as little as a teaspoon of chia seeds during a 24-hour march; American Indians ran from the Colorado River to the Pacific Ocean to trade turquoise for shells, carrying only a pouch of Chia seed for nourishment.

Sustained by chia seeds, the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico hunted by running their prey to exhaustion.  In 1997, a 52 year old Tarahumara Indian, Cirildo Chacarito, won 100-mile run in California.  He completed this astonishing feat in a time of 19 hours, 37 minutes and three seconds. He beat a field of hundreds of competitors with more than a half- hour lead, wearing only his home-made shoes made from old tire treads.

Because of its powerful nutritional properties, it is a perfect survival food.

Health Benefits of Chia seeds:

• A complete source of protein providing all of the essential amino acids.
• An excellent source of high molecular weight soluble fiber, which supports healthy bowel function.
