Like past editions, this year’s compendium features honest-to-goodness merchandise mixed in among items that are only products of my imagination.

See if you can tell which are bona-fide and which are phony.

Answers at the end of the column.

1. My Survival Farm

The 68 WF not only runs on readily available, sustainable fuel but also eliminates the often-frustrating search for a charging station.

7. Hammacher Schlemmer battery-operated sundial

8. Egg-zactly Fresh Portable Chicken Coop

Why settle for powdered, freeze-dried eggs on your next camping trip when you can enjoy farm-fresh eggs straight from the coop?

Portable henhouse equipped with easy-to-use straps that attach to backpack, designed to carry one to three chickens comfortably and securely. Inflate and place outside tent at campsite and awaken to fresh eggs ready for the frying pan.

9. Swim to Antarctica!

Your Brrrrr Expeditions adventure begins with an 11-day cruise aboard Endurance II, a replica of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ill-fated vessel, departing from Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Argentina, to the Weddell Sea off the west coast of Antarctica.

The ship will make short stops at the South Sandwich Islands and Elephant Island, where the legendary explorer and his exhausted crew landed after a perilous five-day crossing in an open boat. This astounding survival tale came after the original Endurance was crushed by pack ice.

From Elephant Island, modern-day adventurers will sail to within 100 yards of the Antarctic shore, don polar immersion suits, jump in the 30-degree water, and swim to land, trailed by Coast Guard-trained rescue divers and certified medical professionals.

10. Cangoroo pogo stick sharing app

Swedish start-up Cangoroo is introducing shared, app-based pogo sticks to urban areas around the globe.

Cangoroo is offering an alternative, joyful way of getting to wherever life takes you. Our belief is that our service can come to play a central role in changing how people look at sustainable cities and staying healthy. We are helping people to stay healthy. One Cangoroo at a time.

Answers:

My Survival Farm, Youth Size ATV, Eat a Bug Cookbook, Shark Eyes and Cangoroo pogo stick sharing app are all actual products; the rest are fake.

If you fell for three or more phonies, I may be able to put you in a wood-fired Tesla or solar-powered Hummer.
