For the next 6 days you can get one of these exclusive very limited run axe designs from BaseCamp X and the members only shopping site Huckberry. First off, we're new to Huckberry but the site is a fantastic idea, featuring limited deals on great brands (like BCX) and after chatting with the gang at Huckberry, they seem like a great crew that fits right in with the rest of the friends we've got here at NC. Now take into account their working with one of our favorite brands (and sponsor of our upcoming backpacking trip) BaseCamp X and you've got ...
Now that you have all that cool gear, if you’re going to take it on your next big adventure, you’ll need a way to keep it safe and dry.

DSLR are real cameras. Not those aim and shoots that we’re all used too. But real cameras for real jobs. Now if you’re new to DSLR’s or just looking for a good unit to use on the go, this is one of the best. Nikon wowed us with the D50, and then with the smaller and lighter D40. Now they’ve stepped it up a notch with the D40x.
With all the D40′s features and all new ones including near-instant startup, 2.5-inch LCD, 8 preset modes, 10.2 megapixel sensor, up to three frames per second shooting, and greatly improved ISO sensitivity. If you want a real camera to take on your next adventure, this is our top recommendation.

Yeah you read right. a jean shirt has made it to our pages. But not just any jean shirt, the J.Crew Denim Workshirt. If you want a nice rugged look for that outdoors date coming up, or if you are indeed rugged or just need to do some rugged man work. This is a great shirt. With a wonderful worn in look and a great feel and fit, the only draw back here is you may not want to spend $128 on a work shirt. But again, if the look is what you’re going for, no denim shirt does it better.

This watch will turn heads for all the right reasons.

Well now this is just cool. Ever wanted to look like the spies on TV and in the movies? Here you go, a on arm full keyboard, the iKey AK-39 Keyboard features adjustable, night vision-friendly backlighting, an integrated Force Sensing Resistor pointing device with both left- and right-click functionality, and that’s just to name a few. ($TBA) We’re not going to lie, this is without any doubt one of the coolest things we’ve seen like this. Some people have been trying to shove a keyboard into coats (you know who you are), some try to build them into gloves, but these are the first guys we’ve seen that seem to have gotten it right. Better yet it’s tough and designed to meet MIL-461 standards.
