Sumerians, Egyptians, Tibetans and Native Americans have used Cedar wood soap for its aromatic effect on the mind and spirit. Cedar wood oil (Cedras Atlantica) extracted from the bark brings on the release of toxins and promotes circulation. This makes it an enhancing extract for the skin and hair. In addition to making you smell like a grown up man, Cedar Wood oil is an effective natural insect repellant.

This formula is crafted to effectively evacuate all unpleasant smells directly following the worst bathroom visit, even yours.

Why it's Awesome: Have you ever lived in close quarters with anyone, especially a loved one? Have you had the unfortunate circumstance wherein you and your roommates all know you just pooped, but there's nothing you can do about it? These drops are a life saver. After the damage is done, APC Post- Poo drops leave your bathroom smelling of Citrus and flowers. Seriously. Just a few drops after a flush and your bathroom is better than new. This product is also perfect for your smelly kitchen sink.

What is it: Bush Smarts is a company we've been keeping an eye on for the past few months. They locally produce high quality camping/hiking gear  at a really affordable price. This is the pack grill and although it's not quite a necessity in the woods, it certainly would make your life a little easier without a lot of extra bulk.

Why it's awesome: It's a simple tool that every camper can benefit from. It solves that age old riddle of "What do you do when you're done cooking?" Well, simply disassemble, give it a wipe and put it all back in the streamlined stainless steel tube. I'm sure you've got room for it in your pack. 

You can purchase this item here and be on the lookout for the Bush Smarts awesome box dropping this week at http://www.awesome-boxes.com

AWESOME STUFF: Kings County Beef Jerky

What is it: The absolute best beef jerky I've ever had. Grass fed, hormone free, anti-biotic free- pure as pure can be beef jerky from the Empire State. Check out the attached video of the jerky process by way of Thrillist

Why it’s awesome: Kings County is the Omaha Steaks of jerky. There are 3 great flavors to choose from (our personal favorite being cracked pepper) but all are damn near perfect. To find some near you or to order a few boxes in bulk, go to http://www.kingscountyjerky.com

AWESOME STUFF: THE LAST OF US

What it is: The Last of Us is an action adventure horror game exclusive to Playstation 3. It follows the story of 2 strangers surviving in a post-apocalyptic zombie-ridden United States. 

Why it's Awesome: The Last of Us sold 1.3 Million copies in its first week (making it the second biggest video game launch of 2013 aside from Grand Theft Auto V) but beyond it's accolades, the story line prevails as a fantastic take on a zombie script. Here's a few bullet points that really grabbed me:

You're as likely to be killed by another human as you are a zombie. This isn't one of those annoying stories wherein your character strategically hunts zombies. This is a game about survival and everyone left on earth is trying to survive.

The earth is reclaiming buildings, highways, and bridges. 

Ammo is finite but thankfully, gear isn't necessary- the entire game can be beat by stealth tactics.

After the intro gameplay (which is incredibly heartbreaking), you find your character in a post apocalyptic Boston (arguably the best city in the world...)

The voice acting is stellar at best and bearable at worst. You might even recognize some of them...

The entire piece is a wonderful mess of stress and Awesome and thankfully, there will be some new downloadable content coming out early this year. With less than 20 hours of game play on disc, I anxiously look forward to it.
