You have plans to get out for the weekend. But you’re wise enough to know that you can’t survive days and nights in the wilderness without some cool gadgets and high-tech implements. If you’re going to survive, you should do it in style.
Swiss Pocketknife
It’s not “high tech” yet the traditional hunting and camping implement was ahead of its time and still addresses scores of outdoor needs. Fifteen stainless steel tools help saw, screw, cut, and tweeze. That’s a lot of resources to pack into a 3.5-inch frame.
GPS Watch
This is a serious piece of outdoor equipment. It features 100 points and track-back navigation. Keep tabs on trails, know your exact elevation, and unlock other features after downloading related apps. Additionally, get the temperature, track your heart rate, and use it as a compass.
Weather App
Those in-the-know of weather have a much better outdoors experience. There are few instances an outdoors personality can’t handle, yet being unprepared is something that cannot be overcome. For example, how pleasurable of a time will you have after an unexpected rainstorm soaks the area and you’re stuck without raingear? Go on the Google app store and download a reliable and concise weather tool.
Portable Solar Charger
This is a godsend for those who will be spending all day away from camp and want to use electronic devices along the way. Stock-up on solar power and then take the charger with you to operate grills, phones, and more.
LED Headlamp
It’s never a good idea to go on day hikes without some form of backup light. You’ll want your flashlight durable, water resistant, and preferably on top of your head. If you get caught in the woods after dark, you can rely on over 5 hours of high powered light.
Filter Straw
It’s a wonder it wasn’t invented years ago. Use this straw to draw water straight from a natural source while having it filtered and clean enough to drink. You may not like the idea of it being your main source of water, yet it’s a great tool to have after you’ve consumed what’s in your camel bag.
Crank Radio
In the least, you’ll get to listen to some tunes other than what nature has to offer. At best, you’ll stay on top of any local emergency warnings. A splashproof and solar paneled crank radio is a pretty handy device to have. Throw in the fact that it is also a flash lamp, and you have yourself a multi-purpose camping tool.
Warm Shower
It’s a luxury that many campers miss unless they purchase a portable hot shower bag. Drape the PVC pouch over a branch in the sun. Once warm, pop the side and enjoy five gallons of shower water.
Recording Binoculars
The name says it all. Why miss the chance to review a number of sights caught in the wild? Enjoy 25x magnification with image stabilization. Once desired images are in sight, record in full HD or 3D mode.
