When you escape to the great outdoors, you need to bring the essential gear. Tent ? Check.  Food? Check. Beer? Check.Check. Music speaker complete with a beer opener? Yes, please.

Ecoboulder+ is the new portable Bluetooth speaker from Ecoxgear, a California-based brand that specializes in rugged audio equipment that can stand up to the elements.

The first thing you will notice is the sound. The Ecoboulder+ features an 8-inch, full-range speaker driven by 100 watts of total power. The Bluetooth range is effection up to 100 feet in open areas (meaning you may have some interference from surrounding nature).

“You’ll also be able to increase sound output by syncing two Ecoboulder+ speakers together through the “Ecoconnect” feature, which supports a connection range of up to 30 feet. This also works with any other Exogear products with Ecoconnect support. Users will also be able to access Siri or OK Google on their connected devices via the “Ecotalk” feature,” according to our brother site Digital Trends.

This is all great, but our favorite feature is definitely the drink capacity — yes, you read that right. The Ecoboulder+ has its own bottle opener and two cup holders that can fit 30-ounce ramblers.

But what makes the Ecoboulder+ stand out from its competition and its previous iteration, the Ecoboulder, is its durability. Ecoboulder+ is certified IPX7 waterproof — you can submerse it for up to 30 minutes in three feet of water. It also floats in water and comes with a waterproof smartphone holder and water-resistant pouch. The shell is UV-protected and dirt and dust proof.

You can take it pretty much anywhere thanks to a retractable handle (think rolling luggage) and off-road ready tires. Once  you find the perfect spot to set up shop, you can stay there for a while. The battery boasts 50 hours of playback time, which, as Digital Trends points out, is “more than enough time for the Ecoboulder+ to provide the background score to a weekend of camping.”

All this pizzazz comes with a price. The Ecoboulder+ retails for $250 and is available now via Ecoxgear’s online store.

Timothee Chalamet apparently lost out on franchise roles over his body type
The actor tried to gain weight, but struggled to build up a more imposing build.
Timothee Chalamet in Dune.

Few actors have had a better run of success over the past five years than Timothee Chalamet. Chalamet has become an icon even as he has continued to challenge himself in a variety of high-profile roles. With Dune, he even has a hugely successful franchise under his belt, even if it's one that's slightly more high-brow than average.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone U.K., though, Chalamet revealed that he had been passed over for roles in films like Divergent and The Maze Runner. “I would always get the same feedback, ‘Oh, you don’t have the right body,’” he explained. “I had an agent call me once and say, ‘I’m tired of getting the same feedback. We’re gonna stop submitting you for these bigger projects because you’re not putting on weight.’ I was trying to put on weight. I couldn’t! I basically couldn’t. My metabolism or whatever the f--k couldn’t do it.”

Remember no boxes? Get this cigar gift instead and save for Black Friday
Nondescript cigar bundles for when were cigars invented.

You may remember that recently I talked about not buying cigar boxes as gifts. I stand by that for a few reasons. The biggest is that they can be expensive, even on sale, and a box includes a lot more cigars than a sampler or small bundle. That means, if you pick wrong, and it can happen, many of those cigars won't be enjoyed the way you'd want. Instead, it's best to go with a smaller sampler of five to ten cigars max. You'll still need to do a bit of research and find out what your cigar person likes to smoke. But a sampler gives them a bigger variety and you more chances to earn a hit.

Just to provide you an example, this five-cigar sampler with is only $47, normally $55. Or, the is only $77, normally $85. Each pack includes five different cigars, the perfect cigar gift. Head on over to Famous Smoke Shop to check out their big sampler sale for Black Friday and you're sure to find something in there.
