SlideBelts are a completely new and innovative take on the traditional ratchet belt that your mom used to unsuccessfully fasten your pants with as she dropped you off at nursery school. The belt is made from tough leather, pops open beer bottles starts fire and pops out a blade, useful for your next bar fight outside [insert name of night club in the south of Johannesburg here]. And the kicker? It GPS tracks your location so don’t wear it to your girlfriend’s house or your wife will know where she lives.

OK, maybe I got a bit carried away in the heading because the BioStove is a marvel of creativity and science and actually contributes to the survival of humankind while the Slidebelt is just a really, really neat accessory that is proper well made and does a lot more than you’d expect from a simple ol’ belt.

Check out the video below and see how creative Michelle Taylor and Brig Taylor, the founders have been. The belt does all of the following:
Starts a fire
Contains a multi-tool
Opens beer bottles
Resists scratches and water
Tracks your location via GPS

Well it will as soon as they get fully backed on KickStarter. Go give them a hand.
