Survival equipment doesn’t come in a more affordable price than the Heatsheets Survival Blanket. At $6, this blanket takes survival gear to the next step, killing two birds with one stone. Not only does it come in a bright orange color with a reflective stripe so airborne rescuers can spot you from long distances but it also reflects up to 90% of body heat, so you don’t end up like those folks who went too far north during their Oregon Trail campaign. It’s easy to adorn as well and doesn’t require labor to set up like the testicle-like cocoon survival shelter.

But perhaps the best part about it is that survival and first-aid instructions are printed directly on the blanket, because we all know how heavy those survival books can be. With this blanket, you’ll never forget how to do correct CPR and you won’t need to carry an extra peripheral that does CPR for you. That’s a life saving deal, right there.

Gearfuse reader Simon sent us a link to the “Unique Lizard Ball-Point Pen Hand-Painted Animal Ball Pen Yellow.” Long name aside, we like it. It’s a standard pen, housed inside an incredibly awesome orange lizard. At 9″ long, you can have your girlfriend compare it to your manhood for the sake of shits and giggles. Better get one fast, though. According to the site, only 5 are in stock and who knows when an opportunity like this one may present itself again…

How big of a fanboy do you have to be to put your dog through the hassle of shaving a mohawk strip down the center of its back and then painting it Firefox orange. Can’t the ASPCA do something about this? Come on, animal cops, this is clearly animal cruelty.

Now, if only the doggy’s little bed was a little globe pillow, they’d be all set. How could you forget the blueness? And they call themselves nerds. — Andrew Dobrow
