The One Piece of Equipment Every Camper Should Own
Of course, the whole point of camping is to get away from it all and enjoy being surrounded by nature. But that doesn't mean it's not handy to have your smartphone or iPad on you if say, you get lost or need to call someone in an emergency (or, you know, you just really need to post that great shot you took to Instagram).
In fact, according to Time, a recent survey by KOA Campgrounds found that 95 percent of people bring along a gadget when camping. Smartphones were the most common device to tote along (80 percent of people said they brought one on their camping adventures), but iPads, e-readers, GPS devices, Apple watches, and fitness trackers also made their way into people's travel packs.
But without outlets, how are you supposed to keep all those gadgets charged? Enter the Anker Power Port Solar.
This $60 device, which is receiving rave reviews on Amazon, is compact (it folds down to 11"x6" and an inch thick, and weighs under a pound) but packs a punch when it comes to generating power. It offers two USB ports, so you can charge two devices at once, and you can even secure it to your backpack so you charge your phone while hiking. Genius!
