Steampunk gift guide

Posted by Mark Frauenfelder, December 7, 2007 10:14 AM | permalink

Over at the MAKE blog, Jake von Slatt has put together a steampunk gift guide.

Dietz M2000 - Kerosene lantern and Cooker
Price: $18.95
Dietz kerosene lanterns have remained nearly unchanged since their invention in the mid-nineteenth century. One recent innovation is the Dietz Cooker lantern.
Can't you just see yourself heating a can of stew on this lantern while crouching on a dry spot somewhere out in the bayou? Or perched on a boulder on the rocky coast of Maine, your musty smelling canvas and leather camping gear nearby?

I think I understand the romance of steampunk, but I'll take Gore-Tex and Cordura over canvas and leather any day I'm out in the backcountry.

When will these "steampunk" obsessions cease? The novelty has worn off.

How about some posts about tattoos and piercings?

Father Brown, it wouldn't be hipster crass consumerism if it wasn't fit into a niche market, silly!

My Minibull Sith stove weighs 1.55 ounces while my Princeton Tec Attitude 4AAA LED flashlight weighs 2.6 ounces including batteries. I think I'm good.
