The Verge’s Brandon Widder has used the sturdy, BPA-free utensil in the backcountry numerous times over the years, mainly because it’s relatively lightweight and saves you from having to pack more than one tool for devouring whatever freeze-dried concoction you opted for.Black Diamond Spot 400 Headlamp$45$5010% off$45Black Diamond’s 400-lumen headlamp offers adjustable brightness, a red night vision mode, and an IPX8 waterproof rating, so it can handle rainy nights.

Personally, I consider the 30-ounce drinking vessel to be the best of both worlds, as it features a built-in straw and a wide-mouth spout for when you prefer a swig. It’s also tapered just enough at the bottom that it fits in your standard cupholder, which was my biggest gripe with prior models.Eve Energy Smart Plug$34$4015% off$34Not only does this smart plug offer the most detailed energy monitoring of any we have ever tested but it also works with Matter-over-Thread and is an especially good choice for Apple Home users.Read More$34 at Amazon$35 at Best Buy$34 at The Home DepotSwitchBot Bot Rechargeable$27$3421% off$27SwitchBot’s latest button presser sticks onto existing buttons and rocker switches, letting you control coffee makers, lights, and other gadgets from your phone.

The Wi-Fi-enabled bulbs are also compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home, so you can control them with your voice in addition to Govee’s mobile app.If you’re looking for an outdoor security cam, the battery-powered Blink Outdoor 4 is down to $43.99 ($36 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, its best price of the year. The 1080p camera improves on the prior model by adding person detection while retaining features such as motion detection, infrared night vision, and two-way audio. It also comes with Blink’s entry-level Sync Module Core, which, unlike the company’s other hubs, doesn’t offer local storage.Ring Indoor Cam (second-gen)$30$5040% off$30The second-gen Ring Indoor Cam lets you keep an eye on your place in 1080p, with support for motion detection alerts, a live feed, and color night vision.Read More$30 at Amazon$30 at Best Buy$30 at TargetTwelve South AirFly Pro 2$50$6017% off$50The AirFly Pro 2 plugs into the auxiliary jack on most in-flight entertainment systems, allowing you to listen with two pairs of wireless earbuds or headphones at once.Read More$50 at Amazon$50 at Twelve SouthThe Twelve South AirFly SE is also available for $29.74 ($5 off) from Amazon and Twelve South. Like the AirFly Pro 2, it lets you use your own wireless headphones with in-flight entertainment systems, but it supports only one pair of headphones instead of two, and it offers slightly shorter battery life.The Thermacell E90 Rechargeable Mosquito Repellent is down to $38.49 (about $17 off) at Amazon, which is the lowest price we’ve seen this year. The device’s 20-foot protection zone is probably one of the best solutions we’ve found for keeping unwanted bugs at bay, though we wish it came with more than one 12-hour cartridge and a charging dock like the E65 (also on sale at Amazon for $39.99). Still, you do get about nine hours of use per charge once topped off via a USB cable, which is plenty for surviving most summer evenings.MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove$45$6025% off$45The PocketRocket 2 is a single-burner canister stove that can boil water in as little as three and a half minutes. It’s lightweight, foldable, and compatible with most isobutane-propane fuel canisters, making it a great pick for backpackers looking to shed weight.Read More$45 at REIBorderlands 4$29$7059% off$29Borderlands 4 is an amusing looter-shooter that supports solo play or up to four-player co-op. Players take on the role of one of four Vault Hunters searching for mythical vaults while trying to take on the planet’s immoral dictator.
