  Amazing pop-up box kite is durable and easy to fly

  Phil McConnachie came up with this amazing pop-up box kite in his workshop down under. There’s nothing to assemble, just open the sleeve and it springs open ready to fly. The intersecting wings give it great stability, but a tug and some slack will send it swooping and tricking. Take in some line and it’ll float back up – you’ll never get bored.

  The EO-6 comes with 200′ of flying line. Quick-start instructions are printed permanently on the inside of the sleeve. Amazingly durable and easy to fly for all ages.

Footprint sold separately.

What tricks can the EO-6 do?
The EO-6 can entertain you for hours with a playful range of tumbling tricks. Experiment with tugging and slacking the line to make the kite flip, tumble, glide and recover back up into the sky. Roll it up like a yo-yo and the crowd will go wild. Unroll by tossing the kite like a glider and they'll call you a hero.
How do you put it together?
The EO-6 assembles itself. Just remove the clasp and it will spring open into flying position with nothing to put together and no parts to lose. Hook on your line and you're ready to fly.
Can I make a train with multiple kites?
You can fly 2, 3 or many EO-6s on one string by making branch lines off a main line just like a tree with a kite at the end of each branch. Simply tie a 15-20 foot leader to each kite, then tie them on the main line every 15-20 feet as you gradually let it out.
How do you launch the EO-6?
Just hold it up with the attachment point pointed into the wind and let out the line. Or have a friend take it downwind a ways to make launching easier in light winds.

Every Winter, I Read the Same Brilliant Essay About Snow
  Seasonal reading—that’s my boring-but-apt term for enriching the mood and meaning of a certain time of year with the addition of a certain text. Each April, I reach for the “Spring” chapter in Walden. Every July, I take a lap in E.B. White’s “Once More to the Lake.” And in November, when the brown ground freezes and the weatherman predicts...

‘Super Aluminum’ Yields Remarkably Tough, Lightweight Knife: OKNIFE XEN-OAL Review
  I am all about counting ounces when it comes to sleeping bags and hiking boots, but I get a little wary when knife brands start trimming fat off their knives. Sure, there are plenty of reliable knives out there that come in at 3 ounces or under. However, a growing amount of these lightweight knives are only rated for light-duty...

Help! My Boyfriend Is a Doomsday Prepper.
  When I first started dating my boyfriend, he mentioned that he had a group of friends who went “camping” every month to practice skills for the future. I asked for more details and he said that they practice orienteering, tracking, and survival skills like that. He’s a really sweet, caring guy and nothing seemed like a red flag. Actually, my...

Is This the Most Dystopian Climb in the US?
  Diesel fumes. Cyanide. Falling dirt, laced with coal. Mysterious flecks of neon plastic.   These are a few of the things you might accidentally inhale while climbing Utah’s Pricecicle, a 60-foot pillar right off Highway 6.

Premium, Powerful, and Barely Portable: SOUNDBOKS Go Portable Speaker Review

No Fun for You! Celebrating a Teammate Win Is No Longer Allowed in Pro Cycling
  The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the international governing body for competitive cycling, is known for incredibly overbearing, sometimes downright wacky rules. And every year, committees at the UCI develop a litany of amendments to the overwhelming number of regulations. But a 2025 change seems to do nothing but take fun out of winning.   Many UCI amendments are certainly warranted. One...
Why We Can’t Log Our Way Out of Wildfires
  Editor’s Note: We first published this story in January 2019 in the wake of the Camp Fire, the deadliest in California history. With the Palisades, Sunset, and Eaton Fires now raging across the Los Angeles area—and discussion about the role that U.S. forest policy might have played in creating the conditions for them following in their wake—we feel it’s as...
You Deserve Your Vacation. What If It Also Made You Live Longer?
