    A true work of art worthy of your trail adventures, art, and whatever else you want to jot down inside these pages. What did Graeme have to say about this newest product from BCX?

    “The BCX Journal is 100% handmade and hand stitched – even the paper is 100% made by hand. Why a journal? Good question! How often do we really take the time to put pen to paper and record our adventures… never for the majority. This is a journal of Legacy… a tribute to your accomplishments, a priceless heirloom that (if you so choose) will pass down through generations to follow. Immortalize yourself in print... this is a vessel, not only for your stories but for the effort and time required to record them – it’s good to take the time.” -Graeme Cameron

    Can’t say it better then that. NC

    This is just what it sounds like. A limited run edition of our favorite SUV created and designed after a FPS video game. Black inside and out, with Mopar fuel doors and taillamp guards, a black exterior with Call of Duty: Black Ops logos on the roof and front quarter panels and Rubicon wheels in a high-gloss Mineral Gray with 32-inch off-road tires. This is amazing, and you don’t have to be a fan of COD to love it. $31,000-$33,500. NC

    From the guys who brought you the incredibly popular iPhone camera app, Hipstamatic, comes this nifty little case that completes the iPhone into a camera trend that’s going on right now. With a small mount for your tripod you can even use this to shoot with your iPhone in low light.

    Protection wise there’s not much there however, it consists of not much more then a simple hard plastic backing and some retro style. Plus the tripod mount isn’t anything but a small thin piece of plastic, meaning you’ll be waiting for it to stop wiggling before taking any photos. Great idea Hipstamatic, but it need more work for this price iPhone users can do better. This is about the same as the $10 incase Walmart special, yet it costs 4 times as much. We give it style points, but like we said, you can do better and we expect more from this crew. This ones for hardcore Hipstamatic lovers only. 5/10.  $40. NC
