Brooklyn (!!!) based BioLite makes the cleverest portable stove aka energy source we've written up plenty of times for its twig eating' usb charging' ways...what's new is this small lightweight BioLite/charger-"BE Seen" with a USB charge in/out=never miss sharing it on social media. Comes with integrated collapsible clipstand.
USB charge in/out-clipstand pops out-hang in a shirt pocket tent etc

 Golf-seems folks love or hate it-and often both, depending on their play...but these STANCE socks are so fun (featuring golf's more colorful characters-PROS: Gary Player, Payne Stewart, Chi Chi.
