Everyone, especially hard-working adults, needs to shop for toys once and awhile. Even if you aren’t in the market for a particular product, looking at all the cool stuff available is IMHO – good for the soul.

Here are a few new and “cool” products for the great outdoors 2013…

How about a Eco-explorer Boat for your 2013 water adventures? And it’s on sale right now!

This rugged inflatable boat turns ordinary excursions on lakes, ponds, or calm seas into educational water explorations you’ll never forget.

A saltwater-resistant, 300,000-candlepower submersible light lures water creatures near so you can see them through the boat’s clear-vinyl floor window. When deflated, it packs compactly for travel.

You’ll want to be wearing a “Boat Day Aloha Shirt” to really look legit!

I looked at getting this Night Vision Binocular last year but didn’t. If I can find enough “coin” this year, these are on the list!

Lightweight and compact night vision binoculars extend your explorations to the once unknowable realms of darkness so you can see what wildlife roams at night.

The state-of-the-art intensifier tubes provides the brightest image possible with 2.5X fixed-focus or 5X magnification. If you need to see in complete darkness, switch on the powerful integrated infrared illuminator. Multicoated glass optics allow a wide field of view at 200 feet and feature precise click-ocular focusing. Housed in a rubberized, ergonomic, water-resistant body.

I would think kids would have a blast with these during those “sleeping out in the backyard” tent nights!

Here’s a great product to have if you’re heading out for a day’s hike!

The National Geographic Mini Weather Clip clips to your backpack or belt loop, and always have the day’s forecast at your fingertips.

Icons display current condition, temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity, as well as digital time and forecasts for the next eight hours. Carabiner clip flips around to become a desktop stand.

Batteries included.
