If there's one thing that can ruin our beloved outdoor activities like camping, picnicking, and tailgating, it's packing. There are just too many comforts of home that are hard to bring out into the wild. But fear not . . . there may be a way to throw the most epic outdoor party ever with this awesome new cooler, appropriately named the Coolest [2].

This Kickstarter project brings outdoor living (and partying) into the 21st century, and just last week, officially became the most funded Kickstarter ever. It not only surpasses the money raised for the video game console Ouya [3] and bringing Reading Rainbow back to kids [4], but it also knocks the Pebble smartwatch [5] out of the reigning most funded spot.

How much did it raise? Oh, just $13,285,226. From more than 60,000 backers. In 52 days.

So what makes this piece of plastic so amazing? Well, let's start with the blender. If you've always imagined a camping trip where you can sit back, relax, and sip on a margarita, you can now fulfill your dreams. Add to that a waterproof bluetooth speaker, USB charger, light, cutting board, and other awesome accessories, and you can see why we're sold.
