Nine Home Depot camping must-haves (and three to skip)

This Home Depot roundup highlights nine worthwhile camping gear picks—ranging from sturdy tent stakes and a portable stove to a wagon, a compact hatchet, multi-pack flashlights, a kerosene lantern, a pop-up changing room, a WeatherX lantern with a power bank, and Ready America glow sticks—while flagging three to skip for best value: the Blazing LEDz 12-LED lanterns, the Coleman Queen camping cot and air mattress combo (prone to leaks), and the Picnic Time chair (priced well above a comparable Harbor Freight option).

Pocket Nostalgia Meets Modern Snapshots with Flashback One35 V2

The Flashback One35 V2 is a pocketable, non-disposable digital camera that channels disposable-film vibes with a 13MP sensor, four film simulations, and two app modes (a 24-hour film-view option and an instant Digicam mode). Priced around $100, it’s a fun, social-media-friendly device best used in daylight, with some app instability and a viewfinder that doesn’t perfectly reflect the actual shot. Ideal for casual shooters and as a novelty for pros, it blends nostalgia with modern playful capture.

"Long-Term Test: DT Swiss 240 DEG Hubs After 6 Months"

DT Swiss introduces the Ratchet DEG hub, featuring a 4° engagement angle and a burly construction aimed at increased serviceability. The hubs incur a 90g weight penalty compared to the equivalent EXP hub due to larger ratchet rings and a larger hub shell. The DEG system is currently available in 240 hubs, offering a middle ground in cost, weight, and finishing touches. The hubs are not specifically recommended for e-bikes, with DT Swiss suggesting their reinforced Hybrid hubs for eMTB usage. The limited release of candy red 240 DEGs adds an exclusive option for buyers. After 6 months of use, the DEG hubs have shown improved engagement, secure-feeling ratchet drive, and durability, making them a worthy addition to the DT Swiss lineup.
