So there's not a whole lot to say about this new Pinkerton Deluxe Edition ($30), because no one really seems to know much about it. We do know it's going to be a 2 disc set, with a large booklet packed with photos and stories, and... oh yeah, it's probably going to have the actual original album on it, too. Honestly though, if it means we'll get a Blue Album/Pinkerton tour out of it, we wouldn't care if the two discs arrived blank.

If you're stuck carrying just one knife on your next outdoorsy adventure, the Gerber Epic Knife ($30) wouldn't be a bad choice. This versatile chrome-molybdenum stainless steel blade features a textured nylon handle, a serrated edge, a blunt tip, an integrated bottle opener, and a locking sheath that also sports a reversible pocket clip so you can carry it on right or left side — which is really handy if your other hand is busy holding a beer or fighting off a hungry grizzly bear.

In the aftermath of the techno-circus that was today's Apple media event, it's hard to imagine a simpler, slower time — but plenty of us are trying to make a return, and the United States of Americana ($10) can help. The handbook for the simpler life discusses music, fashion, grooming, drinking, and general living tips that can help you recapture a bit of America as it used to be, before the days of Internets and iPhones.

Apple downsizes its mid-range iPod, but upsizes the awesomeness. At about half the size and weight of its predecessor, the iPod Nano 6 ($149-$179) shrinks down and gets a new Multi-Touch display, a polished aluminum and glass enclosure with belt clip, and a built-in FM radio (with ability to pause and resume playing FM), a built-in pedometer, and support for Nike + iPod. Your choice 8GB or 16GB sizes in silver, graphite, blue, green, orange or pink.

Dropping the price by a third and cutting the size by even more, the new Apple TV ($99) should be in everyone's living room before long. (And no, it's still not an actual TV. Just an add-on.) They're ditching movie and TV show purchasing altogether, instead going with a streaming rental model — $5 for HD movies and 99-cents for TV shows. The all-black-everything Apple TV also streams Netflix, YouTube, and Flickr, in addition to your music, photos and videos from your computer. It's got built-in HDMI, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and an internal power supply.

Who says you need a bookshelf to display your favorite books on the wall? Postertext ($16-$60) takes the bulk of classic novels like The Time Machine, Dracula, and Ulysses and prints them in TinyType™ that allows for unique placement, creating images that recall the tales told in the books. Endless hours of fun await those stupid brave enough to actually try and read the things. [Thanks, Erik]

Grab a bite of NYC with Katz's Delicatessen Meats ($10-$25). The same sandwich-fillers used at the legendary Katz's Delicatessen in Manhattan, these pounds of sliced Beef Brisket, Roast Beef, Turkey, Corned Beef, Pastrami, Tongue — or whole cuts of the same — along with Knoblewurst, Knockwurst, and Frankfurters are just the thing to kick up your next gathering. Reubens, anyone? [Pic via Robyn Lee]

Duck out of the heat and head up to the great northwest this weekend with this perfect pairing from our friends at Need Supply.

Ray-Ban New Wayfarer ($119). The Hill-Side Selvedge Chambray Scarf ($83). Cheddar Pocket Ron Wallet ($60). Sebago Fairhaven Boot ($140). Life After Denim Skinny 5 Pkt Cord ($88). Gitman Vintage Bd Plaid Shirt ($155). Comune Jude V Neck Sweater ($80). Spiewak Wilson Coat ($195). The Herschel Supply Co. Novel Bag ($75).

Sometimes when you're camping — like this Uncrate editor is right now — smores just aren't going to cut it. Fortunately, the Camp Chef Outdoor Oven ($175) overcomes your lack of a traditional kitchen with a 3,500 BTU, propane-powered oven, letting you cook cookies, bake pizza, and do all sorts of other things that aren't exactly possible with a grill. In addition, it sports two 5,300 BUT matchless igniter range burners for boiling down your, umm, herbs, so you can make those brownies you're baking really interesting.

It's little secret that most people enjoy music when they're drinking, but what about making music with their drinks? Tuned Pale Ale ($TBA) is an ingenious microbrew that features a vertical note scale on the edge of the label — just drink down to your desired note, and blow on the top. In addition to having up to six "blow" notes, the backs of the bottles sport ridges for Latin-style percussion, and the box flips upside-down to reveal a tongue drum that produces six different tones, one for each of the bottle slots. It's like Rock Band, only a lot cheaper, and with a much higher alcohol content.

Chucks, mocs, and sneakers meet Crocs in the styles of Native Shoes ($45). Available in three classic silhouettes, these go-anywhere shoes are made completely from EVA, with perforations to help your feet stay dry and antimicrobial coating to ward off stank-bringing bacteria.

Do you spend more time leveling up your WoW or FF character than you do leveling up in real life? Perhaps it's time for EpicWin ($3). This nifty to-do app for iOS gives you XP for completing real-life chores and tasks, letting you improve both your real and virtual self at the same time. First items on the list? Clean up the stale Doritos from off the floor and take a damn shower, you filthy animal.

Revisit Sam Raimi's horror cult classic in glorious HD with The Evil Dead ($18) on Blu-ray. We could sit here and reiterate the hundreds of thousands of words that have been written about Raimi's brilliant directing, Bruce Campbell's career-making performance, and the over-the-top gore, but hey — it's The Evil Dead. You either join us, or you don't.

Have a need to carry an entire 12-pack into the backyard battle? Forget the big-pocketed cargo shorts and grab yourself a Hops Holster ($30). This tactical drinking apparatus lets you carry 12 beers, Rambo-style, on your torso. Because you can never have enough PBR on hand.

Ah, the 70s. The years of bell-bottoms, classic rock music, and the birth of one of the NFL's most storied rivalries: Cowboys vs. Steelers. The Ones Who Hit The Hardest ($17) examines this matchup of the two most successful teams of the era, set against the backdrop of Pittsburgh, which was facing the closing of its steel factories and the loss of more than 100,000 jobs -- sounds sorta familiar, right Detroit? -- all of which culminated in the Steel City's last-minute victory in Super Bowl XIII. Just the thing to get you in the mood for next week's regular season kickoff.

Okay, so the name is kind of an oxymoron, but Unbranded Jeans ($80) prides itself on putting aside the typical brand-awareness thing, and all of the marketing that comes with it, to focus on making just one thing: kick-ass jeans. Available in three fits — skinny, straight, and tapered — these modern, unassuming jeans are made with raw, selvedge, or black selvedge denim, and feature 34-inch inseams, button flys, and low-rise cuts that make them a great base for nearly any shirt/shoe combo.

Based on the company's standard Evora, the new Lotus Evora S ($TBA) ups the ante with a mid-mounted, 345 hp 3.5L Toyota-sourced V6, a zero to 60 time of just 4.8 seconds, a top speed of 172 mph, a sport button that gives the driver more control over the throttle response, a higher rev limiter, modifies the stability control settings, and activates an exhaust bypass valve, 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels, Eibach springs, Blistein dampers, a forged aluminum double-wishbone suspension, and an Alpine-branded media system with a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, and video playback. Notably missing is a price, which is probably somewhere between "a lot" and "more than a lot."

We're long-time fans of The Bureau Of Communication website, where you can find printable forms for everything from declaring your romantic interest to relaying bad news. Now they've gone all dead tree on us with Formal Notices From The Bureau Of Communication ($11). This collection of fifty fill-in-the-blank letters can help even the most staunch luddite in the family get their point across with candor, brevity, and just the right amount of humor.

Screw putting up a dry erase board in your home office — turn a whole wall into one with IdeaPaint ($30-$175). This ingenious paint turns anything you can paint into a reusable dry-erase surface, making it great for the office, kitchen, kid's room, or garage, the latter so you can keep track of how many beers you've had while attempting to "fix" that old junker you've been tinkering with.

Finally: A nice-looking Nooka with a face that's actually readable. Taking cues from its unique perspective on time telling, the Nooka Zub Zirc Watch ($130) sports a familiar wheel of 12 dots to denote the hour, a simple bar for the minutes, a small window to count the seconds, alarm and chronograph modes, and a 20mm polyurethane band in your choice of six colors. Pick the color that matches your favorite attire, buy a few to mix-n-match, or buy all six and wear them up your atrophied arm like Swatch watches from the 80s.
