All right, Bros, I know summer seems like a long way off, but it will be here before we know it. Some bros will return home over the summer break and live with parents, but many, like me, will be finding an apartment with some fellow bros and calling it home. Back in December, BroBible had an article on 25 Man-Datory Items for Your Man Cave. Since most of the loyal BroBible readers live in a small apartment with their buddies, here's a list of 10 things, in no particular order and by no means all inclusive, that every bro should have for their summer pad, that won't piss off their landlord, and that fit into a college student's budget.

1. Kegerator
What happens when you go in to your bro's new place for the first time and there's a kegerator? You go over and check it out. So does everyone else, bros and chicks alike, to admire and compliment the kegerator. Get a kegerator. Find one on eBay.  Keep Reading »

A few weeks back I rounded up the 15 Best Man Caves on the Internet and the response was phenomenal. In case you missed it, a man cave is a lair of refuge and escape where bros can be bros well into middle age, even when married and occupying a house with a female co-inhabitant. With the holidays and winter just around the corner, indoor hibernation season in the man cave is in full swing.

It's also an excellent time of year to undertake the ultimate home improvement project by transforming a basement or garage into your ultimate mantuary. Once you embark on crafting the perfect man cave, you'll discover that your grotto will always be a work in progress, adding a new item here and there every so often. When it comes to creating a man cave, there is no uniform design, as long as its masculine, reflects your personality, and is generally regarded as "awesome" by your friends and other men in the neighborhood.

However, there are a few essential things every man cave must have to qualify for man cave status. At the request of Sean, a loyal and dedicated BroBible reader, I've rounded up the 25 necessities for every man cave, complete with photos to illustrate. These must-have items for your man cave will definitely make a great addition to your holiday wish list.

Standing up to pee: Gentleman, never take it for granted.

2. A Girlie Pin Up Calender

A provocative pin-up wall calender with glossy photos of sexy and angelic centerfolds in swimsuits or au naturale is a must-have item for the walls of your man cave. With a little luck and gumption, you can score a copy of the much-coveted 2010 Pirelli Calendar. The always popular Sports Illustrated swimsuit calender may be an option as well. Choices for something a little more revealing include the topless Penthouse Pet of the Month or Playboy Playmate style wall calenders, all available at Amazon or the Vikki Blows' contribution to the genre.  Keep Reading »

17. Gangster Movie Posters

The wall art of every man cave must pay some sort of tribute to perennial crime noir masterpieces like the "Godfather" Trilogy, "Maltese Falcon," "Casino," "Scarface," "Goodfellas," "The Sopranos," etc. There is nothing more badass and intimidating than Tony Montana or Don Corleone staring down at you while bluffing in a neighborly poker game. Also, skip the thumbtacks, like in college, and get these framed.  Keep Reading »

There's no better way to pass a rainy Saturday afternoon than a game of cricket or 301. A high quality, a dart board will hit the bulls-eye for making your man cave feel like a cozy English pub.  Keep Reading »

Everyday Joes should be proud of a simple existence. Cluttered closets are for chicks, but some things we accumulate are just right and deserve our time and storage space. Here's our list of 10 mancessories you shouldn't be ashamed to own.


1. The multi-million candle-power spotlights. With handgun grips and trigger activation, blinding people at the speed of light has never been more fun. Carry one in your car and when things get sketchy at a rave, whip it out and play cop and watch 'em scatter like roaches. Be sure to score one with a locking trigger, bolted on hardware that allows it to free stand, and in-car charging cables. If you really want to shine people on, be the guy who shows up to the lake with Vector's twin beam 3 million candle power super light. Now all you need is 2,000 buddies with the same light and you can signal spacecraft together.


2. A Pulaski. Named after firefighting legend Ed Pulaski, who during a raging 1910 blaze in Idaho ordered his crew to stay inside a mineshaft for their safety and wound up saving their lives. Since some of the panicked nancies wanted to flee into open flames and certain doom, Pulaski kept them in the shelter at gunpoint. If saving a crew of firefighters wasn't enough, he then went on to craft the half-ax, half-mattock wildland firefighting essential tool -- the Pulaski. From prepping gardening soil to breaking fireline, the Pulaski is a must-have mancessory. Keep one around to split logs for cozy fires with your lady in the winter. Nothing beats a romantic lesson on how to wield a hybrid ax. Besides, that sort of exchange is a great barometer to gauge what type of woman you're with. If she can brandish a Pulaski, she's a keeper. If she balks, don't count on her to save you when a campsite-invading bear is death humping you.  Keep Reading »
