Whether you like kloofing, rafting, mountain climbing, abseiling or canoeing, new gear makes an outdoor lifestyle so much more fun. Here is a list of five gadgets that will not only be as handy as a walking stick or a hunting knife, but will make you never want to go back inside!
- GoPro and selfie stick. From riding waves and gliding across rocks to hanging around a camp fire, a GoPro is great for capturing all the thrills of your adventure. Just strap it onto any mount, attach that to your body or the stick, and head off! With the selfie stick you can now even make yourself part of your outdoor venture.
- Satellite phone. If you are exploring the mountains and rocky footpaths in the middle of nowhere, being able to communicate in an emergency is crucial. Trying to get mobile signal in the middle of nowhere isn’t a safe bet, so it’s a good idea to opt for a satellite phone which will enable you to make calls from anywhere, be it the top of a mountain or the depths of a forest.
- GPS watch. Adventuring in remote areas can be quite risky. Always make sure you know where you are going with a GPS watch.
- Bio-light camp stove. No gas? No electricity? No problem! With this camp stove you can cook your meals and be a master chef by simply lighting it with twigs you collect during your journey.
- Swiss army knife. Whether you’re a camper, a hiker or a hunter the number one must-have item for any outdoor adventurer is a Swiss army knife.
