This walkie-talkie uses LTE so you can yell at your friends from anywhere

The walkie-talkie is dead. Long live the walkie-talkie that uses LTE to scream at your friends from across the state. This upcoming hybrid radio doesn't care about line-of-sight or that ridge you're about to hike over. It just needs a cellular signal, and suddenly your group chat is voice-activated and clipped to your backpack strap. That's the razor clam here: nearly unlimited range, which changes the game for anyone who has ever watched a buddy disappear around a bend and wondered if they fell into a ravine or just found a better trail. It's on Kickstarter, so the usual caveats apply, will it ship, will it work as promised, but the idea is genuinely good. If you like digging into clever outdoor tools, you might also enjoy how the Blackjaw rethinks the multitool entirely.
