    2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Supercrew Truck

    Ford at the Detroit Motor Show unveiled 2016 F-150 Raptor Truck. And the most sold vehicle in the US market has been updated by both the aesthetic and technical sides.

    In addition to receiving the name of SuperCrew Truck among the new upgrades we find a more aggressive front bumper, the new 17 ” wheels with BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires and the dual exhaust system in the rear. The interior now has more space for rear passengers.

    The new Ford F-150 SuperCrew Raptor is powered by the renewed 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 411hp of power and 434Nm of torque, coupled with the automatic 10-speed transmission. The most interesting is the Terrain Management System which allows the driver to optimize the drive by selecting the mode (normal, street, weather, mud, rock etc) according to the terrain that you are facing.

  • LifeStraw Steel Personal Water Filter

    LifeStraw Steel Personal Water Filter

    To celebrate the first decade of serving, LifeStraw has released a new edition of our favorite personal water filter. As you might guess from the title, the main difference in LifeStraw Steel from regular older LifeStraw Personal, which was first introduced in 2005, is in the material body.

    In contrast to the basic plastic model the latest version is made almost entirely out of stainless steel. Apart from the new housing, Membrane LifeStraw Steel now uses replaceable cartridges with activated carbon, which cleans the water from harmful chemicals, chlorine, heavy metal, salt, and in general improves the smell and taste of water.

    Also there is a slight change the overall design of the filter, its size and weight, respectively. Full length of new filter is 21cm, 3cm diameter and weighs 125 grams (68 grams heavier than the plastic version).

    The LifeStraw Steel with its synthetic fibers promises to clean any water (except the salty ocean water) 99.9999% from bacteria and various viruses. The maximum life span if this compact filter is 1000 liters and activated carbon cartridges must be changed every three months.

    In our view it is a must have life saving accessory for wilderness explorers and camping/ hiking enthusiasts. Besides that for every LifeStraw ($59.95) sold one child in Africa gets clean water for full school year. Another good reason to have it.
