Tools and equipment used in exploration, travel, or in working and crafting new items.
1.) EXPLORATION TOOLS
Thieving is not just about sneaking around, picking locks and avoiding security. A good thief always minds his surroundings, looks as hard as possible for anything he or she could benefit from, and is almost stupidly well-prepared for some unexpected hurdles and small-scale threats along the way.

Folding
tent
As the industrial revolution continues its slow but
determined march throughout Aporue, it gradually brings innovations
even to many mundane items and gadgets. Tents are no exception to
this, as the folding tent - the dernier cri of camping -
proves. On a purely material level, the folding tent doesn't seem all
that novel or innovative, as it is usually made of the same
reinforced canvas as normal canvas tents. However, the secret lies in
the tent's construction: Instead of rope-based supports, it's propped
up by a self-supporting frame of thin rods made (made of light metal)
that fold into each other in a telescopic fashion. Once fully
deployed, the rods overlap with each other to form a flexible but
rigid enough frame that easily props up the tent proper. They are
sown onto specific inner parts of the tent's canvas, leaving them
protected from outside weather. All of this allows the tent to be
built without the need for additional (and often heavy) support
frames and rope lines. In addition, some of the latest folding tents
even come with an extra outer cover that helps prevent the main
canvas body of the tent from becoming too soaked during rainy and
humid conditions. Unfortunately, as with many new, stylish and
somewhat untested inventions, the folding tent is not very widespread
yet and is still rather expensive. You can't buy it in every single
tools and appliances shop in Aporue, but you might run into one while
visiting some of the fancier establishments in the bigger and more
prosperous cities of the continent.
Portable
stove
Practical when you're sleeping outdoors for several nights and need something slightly more substantial than a simple campfire for warming yourself or for cooking. Portable stoves had been invented and first used in Aporue already a very long time ago. Some of the latest unearthed archaeological evidence points to such stoves long predating even the earliest days of The Old Empire. Modern day portable stoves vary wildly in terms of what material they're made from and what fuel source they utilise. The most traditional and most common ones are simple reinforced ceramic vessels with an open bottom, a small chimney-like protrusion or opening at the top, and a smaller opening at the side for regulating the flame. These types are usually powered by simple firewood or other dry materials (grass and leaves, citrus fruit peels, charcoal, etc.). Just like with the tents, the march of progress hasn't left portable stoves behind. Metal, paraffin-fired, regulator-equipped portable stoves are slowly becoming more popular, though for the time being, they are still fairly expensive. Some of the latest models have improved outer surface covers and coatings, in order to prevent causing accidental burns to the user. Portable stoves can be lit the same way normal campfires or torches are lit - with an already burning piece of wood, with a firestriker and tinderbox, or with a box of matches.
