Tools and supplies that make living on the road easier.
Exercise equipment:
- Wince Bar: Portable Weight Training Set -- I'm not sure how good this would be for weight training, as the weights seem too small. However, it has a number of nifty design ideas.
- Power Rings -- I (crasch) own these rings. They are a pair of steel rings attached to long webbing. The webbing can be looped over any horizontal bar (such as a jungle gym or swing set). Doing pull-ups and dips on this provides a very challenging upper body workout. Add a weight belt, and you can develop truly massive muscles.
