This compact and budget-friendly glow fob comes your choice of 1- or 3-packs with green or blue tritium, or a heavily discounted 5-pack offering a variety of colors including green, blue, purple, yellow and red. We found that with The Spark we were able to find exactly what we needed by adopting a color-coding system for gear we might need to reach for in the dark.

Our 2¢: Portability is essential for an EDC tool, and this pry bar doesn’t disappoint. Its slim, lightweight design lets it slip effortlessly into a pocket or clip securely onto a keychain using the integrated loop. And when it comes to functionality, it delivers in spades. The multiple pry edges and nail puller work flawlessly and make light work of prying open boxes, removing staples and even tackling some light DIY tasks. It’s remarkable how such a compact tool can be so effective in such a wide range of applications.

Each pack is a tribute to America’s natural wonders. Collecting them not only connects us to the beauty of the parks but also supports the National Park Foundation’s work in preserving and expanding these geographical treasures.

Our 2¢: We’re suckers for classics, and this Timex watch is as classic as can be. We like the Expedition Scout 40mm wristwatch for its rugged outdoor design, interchangeable fabric double-layer slip-thru strap, water resistance up to 50 meters, and the convenient Indiglo light-up watch dial. It’s a reliable and stylish companion for all of our outdoor and range trip adventures.
