Floating CreekKooler keeps beverages cold while you paddle around in your canoe

Keeping a cold beverage close at hand while out on the water isn’t always easy, particularly if your kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard is already loaded down with gear. Worse yet, rolling a canoe with a cooler on board can lead to a disaster of epic proportions, sending said cooler to the bottom of the river while its contents go floating off into oblivion. But a company called CreekKooler has come up with an innovative solution to this problem, creating a floating cooler that won’t sink or roll, and can be pulled behind your boat as you paddle.

The

original CreekKooler

made its debut at the Summer Outdoor Retailer show this past July. It features double-walled construction and a layer of foam insulation that can reportedly keep ice frozen for up to two days in temperatures reaching 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The cooler, which resembles a mini kayak in both shape and performance, has a 30 quart capacity, allowing it to hold up to 30 12-ounce cans and as much as 20 pounds of ice. It even comes with four built-in drink holders on its deck and a lid to help keep water out and the cold temperatures in. It is available in five different colors and sells for $180.

Today CreekKooler launched an all new model of its floating cooler on Kickstarter. This version is called “the Pup,” and it resembles its larger sibling in terms of performance, but in a smaller, more compact package. The Pup is considerably lighter, weighing in at 8 pound rather than 14, and isn’t quite as long, measuring 27.5 inches end-to-end, as opposed to 39.5 inches for the original. Naturally, these smaller dimensions reduce its carrying capacity some, allowing it to carry 15 12-ounce cans along with 10 pounds of ice.

CreekKooler is looking to raise $200,000 in crowdfunding to get the Pup into production. If it can reach that lofty goal, the new cooler will go into production in the spring of 2018 and begin shipping next June. It is expected to retail for $120, although early bird adopters can pre-order one now at a $20 discount.

Mod Bikes launches a BMW-inspired, limited-edition sidecar e-bike
MOD Easy Sidecar Sahara limited edition e-bike.

Mod Bikes has introduced the Mod Easy Sidecar Sahara, a limited-edition sidecar-style cargo e-bike modeled on the 1940s BMW R75 Sahara motorcycle. On November 9, 2024, Mod will exhibit the Sidecar Sahara at the Electrify Expo at the Circuit of the Americas racetrack in Austin, Texas.
Mod does sidecars

The BMW R 75 Sahara, which inspired the limited-edition e-bike, is a highly collectible motorcycle. Mod Bikes is one of the few e-bike manufacturers that sells e-bikes with sidecars in the U.S., along with other styles. The versatile Easy Sidecar models transform in just a few minutes from a sidecar e-bike to a standard, two-wheel e-bike. However, the sidecar configuration is fun for carrying pets, children, small adults, and groceries or other cargo.

This Costway outdoor pizza oven isn’t messing around — $169 off for Black Friday
Costway outdoor pizza oven on patio

Forget those indoor-friendly pizza ovens. Forget the low-flame and low-smoke options. Me, personally, I want the real deal. That's why when I came across the Costway outdoor pizza oven I knew I had to share. It comes with a pizza stone, for authentic stone-cooked pizza duh, and a waterproof cover to protect the grill. But here's the best part: It can fire-cook a 12-inch homemade pizza pie. Oh, yes. Normally $309, it's on sale today for $140, which saves you $169. That is an incredible deal, let alone for something like this that can handle the fire and brimstone. It's live already alongside some other great early Black Friday deals.

 
Why should I buy this Costway outdoor pizza oven for Black Friday?
The best thing to do when it's time to cook, in my humble opinion, is to head outside and light up my trusty Blackstone. It works great, but if I want to wood fire a pizza I'll need something else. That's precisely where this Costway outdoor pizza oven comes in handy. You can adjust the level of fire and smoke to create a perfectly cooked pizza for your family, charred or not. The dual thermometer makes it easy to adjust the temperature when it's lit. Moreover, the under storage allows you to place some wood, utensils, or whatever else you might need -- so you're not always traipsing back to your shed, house or garage.
