Camping Gadgets - I bought a Coleman 3AA High-Tech LED Mini Lantern to use while tent camping. The light output on fresh batteries seems rather decent. It's pretty bright and the brightness level is adjustable. The metal loop at the top works great with an S-clip on my bunk. There are several levels from lo to high for this lantern. This Coleman 3AA High-Tech LED Mini Lantern really can light up an entire room. When you need to make the space in your saddle bags count, this one fits the bill perfectly. Portable and compact. Definitely lightens the load when you are packing. Very satisfy with the purchase, highly recommended if you need a battery powered lantern.


The Coleman 3AA High-Tech LED Mini Lantern packs a great deal of powerful light into a compact package. CREE XLamp XR-C LEDs shine at an impressive 85 lumens while remaining cool to the touch, and the light runs up to six hours on three AA batteries (included). The beam is fully adjustable, while a frosted globe produces an ideal beam pattern. Durable and weather-resistant, the lantern will stand up to years of rigorous outdoor use.

Energizer 7 LED Headlight
Camping Gadgets - This is a great light that I use for night exercise. The Energizer 7 LED Headlight is very bright, has different settings (red, spot, flood, spot & flood). The red light as the first setting is perfect! It let's you have illumination without toasting your retinas in real darkness. At camp I hang it from a tree branch to act as a lantern. I like to keep a ball cap under it to prevent glare from my glasses. I use it for night hiking, rock climbing, caving, and even nighttime swimming (no, it is not waterproof, but I do a lot of lake swimming, and since I go after work, it sometimes gets dark on me before I get done swimming across and back, so I just turn this headlamp on the red light setting and place it at my starting point so I can find my way back; works like a charm! Some people think headlights are silly but being hands free is far smarter than holding a regular flashlight that usually has bad illumination to boot. Energizer 7 LED Headlight is exactly what I wanted and functions exactly as it should. Highly recommend this lamp.

  • Four light modes: area, spot, flood, and red for night vision

Placed out in the sun the Solar Shower will warm the water in under 3 hours, though perhaps not ideal if you want a shower first thing in the morning, it will certainly be refreshing after a long day out walking or sight seeing. It is also great for the wilder campers among you who really get back to nature and forgo traditional campsites.
Inflatable Banana Carrier
While this might not seem the most essential of items it certainly solves the problem of having squashed bananas in your backpack. Bananas are a brilliant source of energy, which is vital for those hiking trips, yet placing bananas in your bag often end in disaster with an uneatable mush. With the Banana carrier you can make sure your favourite fruit is still edible when you want a snack.

Wind-Up Phone Charger

Solar Fairy Lights
To bring a more festive atmosphere to your camping trips why not put up some solar powered fairy lights. During the day the lights will need some direct sun so at night the lights can shine and really enhance an evening barbeque or a romantic night under the stars.

Emergency Phone Charger
An essential for any trip is to make sure your phone is charged should any emergency aries so that help can be called quickly. This is however quite tricky if you have been camping for a week with little access to electricity as even the best phones will be running low on battery by now. This device will enable you to have a n extra 2 hours of battery life should you need it. A simple AA battery can be inserted in to the charger and provide that extra bit of life for your phone. For the music fans it will also work with your ipod so you don't have to be with out music for that long boring ride back home.

Waspsinator
Wasps are often one of the biggest pests when you venture into the great outdoors and it can be a real hassle to get rid of them and even more difficult to keep them away. The Waspinator works by simulating a rival wasp nest, fooling the wasp into thinking it has wondered into a rivals treaty, rather than risk a fight the wasp will soon flyway. This is an environmentally friendly way of riding yourself of one of the camper's biggest enemies.
