Abeer Seikaly has designed a sustainable tent that collects rainwater, folds up for easy transport and stores solar energy. Sounds visionary, it's true, but this  invention of Jordanian-Canadian architect, designer and artist is real, and gorgeous.

I am convinced that there is an Oru Folding Kayak in my future.
When I saw this Origami Kayak from Oru, I knew that I would plan a scientific expedition just so that I could request one as a necessary tool. Is in the works._

Traveling the Lao countryside outside of Vientianne during "the Wet" requires a robust 4 by 4. I loved the classic Land Rover, as long as I was driving that is.

When working on or around water, I'm always the first one to jump into a Mustang Suit.
Like on this survey, looking for something mysterious, and very valuable: the discovery made us warm, but the search was very, very cold.

Luggage for a lifetime: Remowa

 For some reason or other, some pieces of my Luggage have been through 4 Hurricanes and a shipwreck.

I cant say that everything survived these incidents, but a surprising number of items did.

 Please not that these were events that caught me by surprise. whenever I am Planning to get sunk or inundated,  I usually rely on drybags or Pelican Cases.

But I never thought I would need that level of protection in the Bell tower of an old church, which is where I have kept my office for the last 25 years. But when a hurricane lifted up the roof enough to drench the interior, the contents of my Remowa Case survived without harm. Not the same for my book shelf.

Gotta-Have Gear for Underwater Archaeology: A Knife

Yeah, I went thru the Leatherman phase, and several other brands of multi-tools, plus inumerable cheap knock-offs that I recieved as gifts from well meaning family members that dont understand the concepts of Quality, Minimalism, and beauty of design.
But after years of spare knives pilling up, I decided to work my way through the spares and find out why they sat on the shelf for all those years. 
At the time of this writing, I'm carrying a genuine single folding blade, half serrated, stainless steel Victorionox knife. Works fine.

    Relic Smith

    As a young traveler in Asia, many people struggled to pronounce my real name, and "Relic" became a nick-name that stuck.
    Given my perclivities for unearthing the past, its even funnier now that I am a leftover from a bygone era..
