The Perfect...Carve

The Great Beauties of History Snowboard by YES.

Finally, a board for a grown man.  After the success of the Great Dudes of History snowboards by YES, the company has flipped the switch by giving us Great Beauties of History.  The boards are an asymmetrical twin shape, use a Camrock profile, have one of the firmest flexes in the range and include a new nameless technology to increase grip.  If you want to go a bit more controversial (and give back to charity) try their Great Boobs of History, with proceeds going to help breast cancer survivors experience the life-changing effects of snowboarding through Retreat Yourself camps in Colorado.  $500  yesnowboard.com or at these global dealers

The Perfect...Pitch

The Heimplanet Cave Tent

Now that I consider myself a bit of an outdoorsman I want to make sure my accommodations live up to my standards.  The Heimplanet Cave Tent does just that.  Constructed on five identical struts, the inflatable three-man (in my case one-man) tent weighs less than 12 pounds and does not need poles.  The "Cave Tent" allows for the entire frame to be inflated in less than a minute leaving more time for hunting and scavenging.  $699 heimplanet.com



The Perfect...Lounge

The EMU Heaven Lounge Chair by Coalesse

Seating is important for a patio but there is no need to overdo it.  Two to four will suffice, along with a couple of side tables.  The refined Heaven collection by Coalesse will add a sensual and sophisticated elegance to your outdoor space.  $535 coalesse.com  



The Perfect...Grill

The Snow Peak Iron Grill Table Set #3

Summer is upon us so I thought I would dedicate this week to creating the perfect patio or outdoor space. Currently my patio consists of one potted plant and a gardening spade - an ideal canvass.  Start with a centre piece like a cool grill and build from there.  The Snow Peak Iron Grill Table Set is ideal because it's fully customizable and can include a number of counter space options like these fold-out bamboo tables...and it's collapsible for easy transport.  $700 snowpeak.com
