Like being self sustained? The Ecosphere Ecos Lifelink is for you. Basically it’s a shipping container that folds out and expands into a self sustaining water purifier and power station. It is portable and can be set up basically anywhere. It relies completely on wind and solar power to filter 30 gallons of water per minute. Left over electricity goes into batteries that can be used to power other things. It also has a satellite dish that makes it a wifi hotspot. Very Cool, although it doesn’t actually exist yet..

The BodyGard Emergency Tool is five precautionary tools in one nifty little device.

Grab one of these if you’re paranoid about getting trapped in your car or driving into a body of water.
