Active recreation, tourism and travel are relevant at any time of the year, be it the summer holidays or even the rainy autumn, which has long come into its own. Regardless of the weather and the number of shades of gray in the sky, you can always take a trip into nature to take your mind off routine work and simply take a break from the noisy city. Cope with possible difficulties and ease some overwhelming tasks that are quite stressful for many, will allow modern gadgets, developed by the same amateurs active rest.

We won’t talk about essential things here; we introduced multi-tool knives and digging sticks in one of them. Now let’s turn our attention to devices that will allow you not to worry about starting a fire, finding a return route, lighting, charging for smartphones and other electronics, and even music - not everyone can carry a guitar with them.

Battery operated light bulb

Camping enthusiasts and simply people with experience of forays into nature with tents know firsthand that in the dark, a compact and at the same time bright light source is extremely necessary. Open fire is clearly not suitable for this; there is a much simpler and safe option- a plastic light bulb powered by batteries. They are inexpensive and at the same time are waterproof and can easily withstand falls from a great height. This kind of light bulb, which costs about 140 rubles, can be hung in a tent or simply attached to a backpack.

There is a similar option, but with different glow modes and a magnet that allows you to attach it to metal surfaces even in horizontal position. For example, it can be fixed on the car body when changing a wheel or even on the hood. It costs a little more, about 240 rubles with delivery. Depending on the batteries and mode, it can work for up to 10 hours straight.

If you are traveling with a large group and require more powerful source light, you can consider slightly different flashlights with directional action. There are inexpensive options with a power of 300 or even 800 lumens, which is quite enough to illuminate the area around several tents or cars. These lamps are usually hung from a tree near which the camp is set up. Prices for such lanterns start at 200 rubles.

It will cost more to abandon batteries in favor of built-in batteries and recharging via USB, that is, either from the network or from power banks. For example, a portable lamp with 300 lumens, which has its own battery for about 6 hours of operation, costs about 500 rubles, and for 700 you can buy something more powerful, 2,000 lumens, with a magnetic mount and an autonomy of about 4-5 hours.

Travel power banks

A power bank on the go can be useful not only for USB lamps, but also, of course, for mobile devices, which many take even on long hikes. This could be either a smartphone used as a navigator and camera, or, for example, a wireless speaker, because music on the go isn’t such a bad idea?

When choosing an external battery specifically for forays into nature, you should at least take care of its protection from external influences - it should be resistant to water and dust, and even better, to shocks and falls. Most models of this class are equipped with solar panels, allowing you to restore the energy of batteries from sun rays. Now, in the fall, this is not so relevant, but in the summer or even winter it’s quite possible. The recharge rate, of course, will be low - say, ideal conditions A 10,000 mAh power bank can only recover by a third in a day, and this without moving at the right angle, and so on. You won’t be able to attach it to your backpack and draw the endless energy of the luminary on the go - the recharge along the way will be barely noticeable. Still, it's better than nothing. An option with such a capacity costs about 1,200 rubles. For 16,000 mAh it will cost 2,400 rubles. Both can also act as a small flashlight.

When buying such a battery, it is important to pay attention to the size solar panels, the rate of charge replenishment will depend on it. These “clamshells” are considered the most effective, although they require more complex setup. The price of the 10,000 mAh option is 2,300 rubles.

Audio speakers

As mentioned above, Bluetooth music speakers on the road are not such a bad idea. Especially considering the fact that such accessories are becoming more and more accessible, their autonomy reaches up to a day, and there are many options on sale that are protected from dust and moisture. An example is even UE Wonderboom, which can be safely used even in the rain. It costs about 7,000 rubles, which is a lot, but quite reasonable for such a price. high quality sound. It can be read on our website.

Among the more affordable options, we can note JBL Clip 2, the price of which starts at 2,000 rubles. It even has a special carabiner for attaching to a backpack strap or belt. The speaker is protected from water and can work for about 8 hours on a single charge. If this time is not enough, you can always replenish the charge using a power bank.

Power generators

Speaking about non-obvious and simply unusual travel gadgets, we cannot fail to mention several devices from BioLite. The first is designed to recharge devices using thermal energy obtained directly from the flames and heat of the fire. We're talking about the BioLite CampStove - a miniature hiking stove with thermogenerator and built-in battery. This device literally allows you to charge mobile devices by burning branches, leaves, cones, bark and small pieces of wood. Russian retailers sell this miracle of technology for 9,990 rubles.

Another BioLite gadget that many may find useful on a hike is Kettle Charge. Essentially, this is a very unusually shaped camping kettle, which also has a built-in thermogenerator and USB port for recharging mobile devices. To generate energy, it uses the temperature difference between cold and hot surface housings. This kettle can be used in conjunction with camp stoves and stoves, although a simple brickwork with a fire in the center may also work. By the way, it is also suitable for charging a gadget when there is a power outage at home (if you have a gas stove). The price of Kettle Charge in Russia is a considerable 11,500 rubles, you can save significantly when purchasing from Ebay and Amazon, this applies to all BioLite devices.

Flint

Devices for creating an open fire have long become convenient, reliable and as accessible as possible. The cheapest of them look like a miniature flask-keychain. Under the cork there is a flint with a small wick. You need to pour gasoline inside to wet the rod. Sparks are generated and ignition is carried out by sharp friction of the rod against a special groove on the key fob body. Such a flint costs from 40 rubles. The accessory doesn’t take up any space in your backpack, and the price is quite reasonable for purchase.

In specialized stores you can buy a flint with a ferrocerium rod - in this case, to strike a spark you only need a steel object, for example, a knife, although you usually buy a special steel with a hardness of 64 Rockwell units. Such devices are more expensive, but they are clearly not short of reliability. You can safely forget about matches and lighters.

Keychain navigator

In order to accurately return to the starting point and simply not get lost, you should definitely purchase a so-called returner - this is a simple key fob with a GPS module and a pair of control buttons. It does not show maps and does not load any unnecessary data, it only allows you to remember the return point and show the direction to it and the distance to it. At the beginning of your journey, with just one click you fix this point in memory, and then you can even turn off the key fob. If on the way back you have doubts about the correctness of your movement, turn on the return device and check the direction with it. Also such gadgets show current time and altitude above sea level. The most popular model of GPS key fob on AliExpress will cost about 1,500 rubles. It can be used not only in forests and mountains, but also in unfamiliar city.

Both during short forays into nature and during long hikes in dense forests, such gadgets allow you to eliminate possible burdens and simply make many tasks easier. “Penny” light bulbs and a small set of batteries will provide you with lighting, power banks and thermal generators will allow you to always stay in touch and charge gadgets for photos and videos, a flint will significantly simplify starting a fire, and a GPS keychain will provide you with confidence that no matter where you go, you can always return home. With such devices, active recreation and short trips become accessible to almost everyone, and it’s worth saying thank you for that modern technologies, allowing you to enjoy unity with nature in 2017 without unnecessary difficulties.

Multitool card

Why: tighten the nut with a credit card

Multitool in a wallet - this doesn’t happen! But what then should we call Wallet Ninja? It is completely flat and looks like a credit card. At first you don’t believe that such a small thing can hold 4 screwdrivers, 6 wrenches, openers for bottles and cans, knives for fruit, envelopes and boxes, a nail puller and another ruler. And if you insert a plastic card into a special hole, the whole thing will turn into a stand for your smartphone. In general, the “ninja in the wallet” is a set of tools for the savvy traveler away from home, and in an extremely compact design.

If you like the idea, take a look at the Ninja knife. It doesn’t look like a samurai, but two movements - and it folded up to the size of a plastic card.

Manual espresso coffee maker

Why: brew coffee 1000 km from the nearest Starbucks

If coffee and morning are synonymous for you, don’t give up a pleasant habit just because you can’t find a good coffee shop in a new city. Take your Handpresso manual espresso machine with you. The capsule gadget, slightly larger than a glasses case, brews coffee like a real barista. And most importantly, it does it without electricity! Pour into the device hot water- for example, from a thermos, pump up the pump, press the button - and you're done. Now, even in a tent or on a picnic, you can pamper yourself with aromatic espresso.

For motorists, there is a compact espresso machine that operates from a cigarette lighter and prepares coffee not only from capsules, but also from regular ground beans.

Smartphone with GPS

Why: not to get lost at the ends of the earth

A smartphone is an indispensable thing for an independent traveler, and a smartphone with a GPS module is doubly so. Install the right applications with maps and navigation to turn your phone into a personal guide.

Make sure that the maps are detailed: with street names, cafes, shops and gas stations. And the most important thing is that they work without the Internet. 2GIS, MAPS.ME and OsmAnd are suitable. All three apps will give you walking and driving directions, find a coffee shop, a white sand beach, and a bus stop.

Car charger

Why: Charge all your gadgets along the way

If you don't already have a cigarette lighter charger, it's time to fix the situation. A laconic option is USB charging with one, or better yet, two, three or even four outputs. This is enough for smartphones and tablets for the whole family. To charge your laptop, DVD and cameras, look at car inverters from 12 volts to 220. It won’t be possible to connect everything at once, but still you will have your own outlet, whether on Baikal or in Finland.

Travel iron

Why: to force in the mountains or at sea in an ironed

If there are no hotels on your trip where you can iron your clothes, and you hate walking around in wrinkled clothes, take a compact travel iron with you. The smallest ones like SteamFast SF-717 or Smile SI 1802 fit in the palm of your hand and weigh half a kilo. Like “adult” irons, they iron dry or with steam and, despite their miniature appearance, they cope with their duties perfectly. So calmly take linen trousers and silk shirts - no one will notice that they survived a flight halfway across the Earth.

Tip: You don't need an iron if you transport things correctly. To prevent your trousers from becoming wrinkled, roll them into a tight roll. And fold shirts, T-shirts, dresses, skirts and jackets in half vertically before rolling.

External battery

Why: give your phone eternal life

On vacation, your phone dies as quickly as you empty a glass of Pina Colada. This is understandable: a pocket “travel agency” simultaneously looks for directions, takes photographs, translates menus, checks mail and does a dozen other things.

To always be fully armed, throw an external battery in your backpack. The required battery capacity can be calculated as follows: look at what kind of battery the smartphone has and multiply by at least 2. If you go to long journey with a suitcase different devices, take a larger and more powerful battery. Just don’t overdo it: you don’t want to carry around a brick weighing a kilogram, do you?

Swiss army knife

Why: Become a jack of all trades


A knife that can do everything in the world is needed not only in nature. With it you will peel a mango in Thailand, cut Camembert in France and open a bottle of Barolo in Italy.

In addition to the blade, Swiss knives Usually there is a corkscrew, bottle and can openers, tweezers and a toothpick. If you want to have one tool for all occasions, take a look at models with a screwdriver, scissors, nail file and pliers. And the aerobatics are a knife with a built-in flash drive.

Fitness bracelet

Why: switch to a healthy lifestyle

IN independent travel lead healthy image life is easier than at home. If the day before you indulged in pizza with cheese and prosciutto, the next day climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa or walk around the entire center of Rome. And to make it more convenient to monitor your calorie consumption, put a fitness tracker on your hand and connect it to your smartphone. This stylish device will help you find out if you're hitting the recommended 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day. It will also prove that seeing the Colosseum really makes your heart beat faster.

Selfie stick

Why: take photos from an unusual angle


People are divided into two types: some do not leave the house without a selfie stick, while others lose their temper at the mere sight of one. If you belong to the first group and also think that photos from a monopod look cool, then you already have it in your backpack.

Selfie sticks are not just for “yourself”. With a monopod, you don’t have to lie down on the grass to photograph flowers or a fountain from an unusual angle. With it, you can easily look into a birdhouse, into the eyes of an antique statue, or into a secluded corner under coral while snorkeling - just don’t forget about the waterproof case.

3G Wi-Fi router

Why: catch the Internet in the middle of nowhere

A gadget the size of computer mouse needed to answer emails and post photos on Instagram from any place where there is at least some 3G coverage.

The router catches the network better than a smartphone. And if you put it on the roof or hang it out the window, the Internet will speed up, like in Formula 1. If the speed is still not enough, you can connect to some models external antenna. Another plus is that the router distributes the Internet to several devices.

Tip: Before purchasing, check whether the 3G or 4G Wi-Fi router is tied to the SIM card of only one operator.

Gorillapod: tripod with flexible legs

Why: Place your camera anywhere


If you love photography and hate heavy luggage, your choice is a lightweight tripod with flexible legs. The basic Joby GorillaPod Original weighs as much as a biometric passport, and at the same time can support not only a smartphone, but also a camera up to 325 grams. And if you want to make friends with a tripod professional camera, choose between SLR-Zoom and Focus models. Mount the acrobat on a stone, branch, fence, or even on the leg of a table in a street cafe and look at the world from a new angle.

Solar battery

Why: nourish yourself from the sun

The solar battery is useful for long journeys and forays into nature, and even more so for trekking. Lay it out on the grass, attach it to your backpack, or hang it on the bus window. And then connect an external battery or any gadget directly - and you can be sure that you will stay connected.

This might interest you:

Please note that the size of the battery should be no less than an A5 sheet, and preferably an A4 sheet: small panels look impressive, but do not charge well. Also, check the weather before your trip. In sunny Mongolia, smartphones and tablets are charged without stopping, and in the fall in Russia it is easier to stock up on external batteries. published

Unlike the past, this summer turned out to be extremely successful: people have already stopped counting sunny days, the mark on the thermometer has hit “30” several times, and even the most restless parents have taken off their children’s earflaps. In general, the summer mood has overtaken most of Russia, and with it another season of active recreation. Fans of hiking, cycling marathons, rafting, rock climbing, surfing and other ways to unite with nature became active a couple of months ago and do not plan to stop. If you are also one of them, then we offer to diversify your summer leisure and future vacation useful devices, which will make the life of any tourist easier and more enjoyable. We bet you forgot to get most of them.

Bluetooth speaker

Of course, nothing can replace a guitar by the evening fire, but not everyone is ready to go camping with such luggage, and playing on the go is problematic. Especially if you go further afield and do, say, surfing, rock climbing or cycling. But attaching a Bluetooth speaker to your backpack using a carabiner and moving around to Chopin, Vysotsky, RHCP or Eldzhey (you never know!) is very simple.

The most famous brand In this field, JBL is certainly the leader. The American acoustic company offers as many as 7 models wireless speakers, each of which is available in several colors. Any buyer will be able to choose the acoustics according to technical specifications, appearance and wallet.


If you don’t want to run into a fake or are more demanding in terms of sound, we recommend paying attention to the brainchild of the Monster company – Superstar Hotshot Bluetooth.


Small size, interesting design, high-quality sound, the ability to connect both via Bluetooth and a 3.5 mm cable, durable carabiner included. Nothing to complain about! Especially considering the cost: in our store such an “animal” will cost you only 4,990 rubles.

Other brands worth checking out include GZ Electronics, Nyne and Creative.

External battery

Finding yourself far from civilization without the ability to charge your equipment is not only sad, but also dangerous: you won’t even be able to see the road if force majeure happens to you in the forest or in a foreign city. To avoid similar situations, every self-respecting tourist is simply obliged to take a powerful power bank on the road, which is enough to repeatedly charge his own, and preferably someone else’s, smartphone.

If it turns out that you don't yet have external battery or it is too small for long trips, we recommend paying attention to the Xiaomi Mi 2C Powerbank.


The brand probably isn’t worth introducing, so let’s just say that this is the king in its class! Stylish white body, four charging indicators, two USB ports and as much as 20,000 mAh of energy. This is definitely enough to charge your smartphone 5-6 times. Such a battery is too large for daily use in ordinary life, but when it comes to hiking, it is indispensable.

If you have a very large family or love to post sunsets on Instagram so much that 20,000 mAh is not enough for you, then check out the Anker PowerCore 26,800 mAh. When this is not enough for you, you should either start fighting your addiction to social networks, or buy a portable generator, depending on what gadgets you need to charge.


If you don’t need such amounts of energy and extra wires in your backpack, then take a closer look at the Okira Cycle. This power bank looks futuristic and fully justifies its appearance: the trick of the battery is that it supports wireless charging. It is enough to place the smartphone on the front side of the case, and the process will begin. On board Okira there is 10,000 mAh of clean energy, i.e. The effective charge is enough for about 3 smartphone cycles.

Action camera

Returning from a trip without photos and videos has long been an unaffordable luxury: if you didn’t post it, it didn’t happen! If you don’t want to take a heavy DSLR with you, and your phone is not enough, you can only use action cameras. Good quality photos and videos, as well as the ability to shoot underwater, in the snow, or crack nuts with them, make such devices indispensable for tourists.

Of course, when we say action camera, we mean GoPro. The HERO5 model has a 12 MP camera, 4K video recording, a stylish and indestructible body, these are even installed on military equipment. Now imagine the same thing (well, almost), only for 15.5 thousand. The GoPro 2018 is the perfect companion for any adventure, especially the action-packed one.


Don't like to go with the flow? Well, then there is both the Yi Action Camera and the Garmin VIRB Ultra 30. Videos shot in 4K resolution can be viewed directly on the 1.75-inch display built into the Garmin camera body. In addition to the basic functions, VIRB Ultra 30 remembers altitude, speed, number of rotations, hover time in the air, distance and pressure at the time of shooting! More than one spiteful critic will no longer say that you lied when telling about your adventures. It's hard to argue with the numbers.


Quadcopter

Action cameras are good and convenient, but what about those whose work or hobby is inextricably linked with collecting high-quality photo and video material from the most inaccessible corners of the planet? Don't worry, we have an option for you too! The DJI Mavic Pro quadcopter will solve almost any task assigned to it.


A real dream for film lovers! Flight range - 13 km, maximum speed- 65 km/h, flight time - 25 minutes, video quality - 4K. And this beast weighs only 0.743 kg! In general, you are guaranteed unforgettable materials. If you are just starting to communicate with drones, then it is better to purchase Mavic Air: 6 intelligent flight modes and gesture control will help you adapt to the new shooting format.

Navigators and satellite communicators

If you are going on a hike, the main task during preparation and conduct, ensure the safety of all group members. Being able to navigate by the stars, the sun and moss on trees is a useful skill, but why go to such extremes in 2018?

The Garmin inReach Explorer+ satellite communicator gives you 100% insight into where you are and where you need to go.


The communicator lasts up to 30 days on a single battery charge. To communicate with cards, it does not need a signal from operators cellular communications– the device receives data from GPS satellites. It is possible to create hiking routes, mark resting places, the nearest settlements, exchange messages while synchronizing with a smartphone via Bluetooth. Click on side button with a large inscription “SOS” instantly transmits a distress signal and the coordinates of the group’s location to the rescue center. Of course, a shockproof and waterproof case is included. Must have!

If you travel by car or bicycle, then a regular navigator may be enough for you - say, Garmin ETREX TOUCH 35. Maps of Russia are already loaded into the device, the terrain is marked; It is possible to use memory cards. IN included bike rack. Communication with the world is carried out using GPS/GLONASS satellites. In general, with Garmin you definitely won’t get lost.


Sports watches

For the most athletic travelers, there is a way to combine business with pleasure. Agree, it is more convenient to carry the navigator on your arm than in your hands. Especially when it's as smart and practical as the Suunto Traverse Alpha Stealth.


Yes, at first glance, this is just a stylish watch. But the devil is in the details. Suunto offers the owner the following set of functions: altimeter, barometer, thermometer, weather indicator, digital compass, GPS navigation, GLONASS support. Topographic maps are also available, including points in Movescount for planning routes, pinpointing your location while driving, and quickly marking points. The watch will help you track your speed, distance and altitude, count the number of steps and calories burned, and also adjust your exact time in accordance with GPS coordinates. Traverse Alpha is synchronized with a smartphone via Bluetooth Smart via the Suunto Movescount mobile app for iOS and Android.

Certainly, a full-fledged navigator this watch won't. But the navigator will never catch up with Suunto in terms of the number of functions and capabilities!

All sorts of things

Tell me, have any of you thought about buying a satellite tracker? The Trakdot company makes just these. In general, the little thing doesn’t do anything special - it just calculates and sends its location, even while in bags and rooms that do not transmit a cellular signal. It can be put in a suitcase (in case it is lost at the airport) or in a child’s backpack - with this device, searching for lost things becomes much easier.

Or here's another interesting example. The Kingii is the smallest, fastest inflating lifebuoy I've seen. The principle of operation is as simple as possible: if you find yourself in open water, you just need to pull the small handle. Your wrist will instantly inflate with a bright orange flotation pad capable of keeping an adult afloat for 48 hours. To be honest, I first learned about this gadget while writing this article, and I really wanted to give one to my younger sister - it’s summer, the swimming season.


Last but not least, the device in our selection is the LifeStraw portable instant water purification filter. A person cannot live without moisture. LifeStraw provides water purification of 99% of all protozoa and bacteria. If you are going, for example, rafting down a mountain river or traveling through the Yosemite Valley, then you don’t have to take any drink with you at all - one such filter will provide you with 1,000 liters of drinking water.

The hammock itself and that's it additional elements neatly folded into a bag, which in the normal state is located on the side when the hammock is open. It is worth noting that in the store’s description this hammock is a double one, but if a person weighs more than 75 kg, it automatically turns into a single one (since its load capacity is 150 kg, and the rope simply cannot withstand two people over 75 kg). A nylon hammock is a great gadget for outdoor recreation with family and friends.

The knife blade is made of 7Cr17Mov steel, which is an analogue of American steel 440A, but somewhat harder due to the addition of 0.04% vanadium to the composition. It is coated with a special black coating (during operation it gradually wears off to a steel color) and has a length of 8.7 cm. The online store has many other models of different colors and shapes for a similar price, so if you wish, you can buy what you like exactly to you.

Night light for tent


This LED gadget is an excellent device for obtaining light at night in a tent. Thanks to the hook on the light bulb, it is convenient to attach it to the “ceiling” of the tent. Now you don’t need to carry bulky lanterns with you or light candles in the tent (besides, you can accidentally burn down the tent). This gadget works from 3 ordinary AA batteries. According to the description, this light bulb can work for about 100 thousand hours, but in reality this can only be verified experimentally. If you are going fishing with friends or spending the night in the forest, we recommend that you take this gadget with you.

Flint

A portable flint can become an excellent alternative matches or lighters. You can use it to start a fire or light a gas burner. The flint consists of a steel tank in which a metal “match” with a wick is placed. To light it, just flick it on the side of the body (possibly several times), and the wick will light up. To make the wick ignite faster, it is recommended to add a few drops of gasoline to the tank from time to time. Nominally, the wick is designed for 1000 ignitions, but again, this can only be verified experimentally. I am especially pleased with its low price - only half a dollar.
