NEWS – This week we are bringing you information about four different crowdfunding campaigns that are currently running on Kickstarter and Indiegogo that will be of interest to EDC fans, and more.
The UltraLink – Elementally Elementary
What is it?
The UltraLink is a quick release EDC key and gear retention system made from raw Titanium and Aerospace Grade 7075T61 aluminum.
Why is it cool?
Just look at it. I think the UltraLink is cool because it looks like a movie prop from Guardians of the Galaxy or some other sci-fi flick. Gamble sent me an early sample of the UltraLink and I can confirm that it looks as good in real life as it does in their pictures. But good looks aren’t everything are they? This clip works great too as long as you don’t mind having to use two hands to unclip it because you have to use one hand to pinch the sides and the other hand to remove the clip. re-clipping (is that even a word?) is easier since you can do that just with one hand and you will be rewarded with a satisfying click when you do. Oh, one more thing that makes the UltraLink cool… the colored dot glows in the dark if you expose it to light.
Where can I find more info?
The UltraLink campaign ends on 11/15/18 and they have already met their funding goal of $7,500. You can pre-order an UltraLink starting at $83. After the UltraLink campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in March 2019. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
PowerCube|WiFi|:WiFi Booster.Cube Socket
What is it?
The PowerCube is a WiFi hotspot and signal booster that is packaged in a small AC adapter sized package that plugs into the wall or an additional version that has a power cord.
Why is it cool?
I like the PowerCube is a small multi-function gadget that can be used as a WiFi hotspot that can share your internet with guests and friends without a password, it can also be used as a WiFi booster to extend the signal in your home, it can be used as a small power strip because it has 4 built-in power outlets, and it also shows the speed and number of connected devices right on the adapter itself.
Where can I find more info?
The PowerCube campaign ends on 11/18/18 and they just launched their campaign and are working towards their funding goal of $3,000. You can pre-order a PowerCube starting at $25. After the PowerCube campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in March 2019. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
Nanobag 2.0 & Nanopack -The ultimate ‘carry everywhere’ bags
What is it?
The Nanobag 2.0 & Nanopack are extremely thin/lightweight sailcloth bags and backpacks that fold down into a tiny pouch for easy carry.
Why is it cool?
I like the Nanobag 2.0 & Nanopack because they fold down into such a small form factor that makes it easy to carry one anywhere so you’ll have a reusable back when you need to carry items and won’t be tempted to grab a plastic bag.
Where can I find more info?
The Nanobag 2.0 & Nanopack campaign ends on 11/15/18 and they have already met their funding goal of $3,825. You can pre-order a Nanobag 2.0 or Nanopack starting at $10. After the Nanobag 2.0 & Nanopack campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in March 2019. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
The 24Seven Modular Backpack and Survival Kit
What is it?
The 24Seven is a modular clamshell style 34L backpack that has been designed to perform as an everyday backpack (although on the large side…) but also includes a survival kit for emergency situations.
Why is it cool?
I like the 24Seven because of its modular design that features a “card” system where each card is designed to carry certain items like photography equipment, other tech, clothes, Dopp kit items, and even a pet water bowl and food pouch.
Where can I find more info?
The 24Seven campaign ends on 11/15/18 and they have already met their funding goal of $30,000. You can pre-order a 24Seven starting at $109. After the 24Seven campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in December 2018. Visit their Indiegogo page for all the details.
