Do you love camping? Skip that question. Are you someone who doesn't? Well, you need to rethink your life, pal. Spending a night out not only helps you relax but can also rejuvenate your spirit for the hectic schedules of the upcoming week or even month. Camping is not only a great way to be one with the nature but its also a great way to bond with your friends.
In this article we discuss what technology you need to bring with you to enhance your camping experience. The list also contains some generic items such as flashlights and survival kits, albeit focusing on the technological advancement in these items.
Multipurpose phone case
You might already have a phone case on but admit it, they aren't as rugged as they can be. Sure they protect your phones from basic forms of damages but what if I told you they could serve more. You can get all kinds of special phone cases that do a lot more than just protect your phones. IN1 is such a multipurpose case that contains a lot of useful tools when you are out camping. You can even get cases with built in battery if you are in a constant need of juice.
Portable Cooler
The thing about trips is that they are always wonderful with chilled drinks. But it is very easy to run out of cold drinks when you have such short supply of ice. Get a portable electric cooler which you can stuff with ice so that you can chill your drinks anytime you want to. This way you get to drink more and admit it, it is always more the better with your drinks.
Mini Projector
Maybe you after a drink or along with it you want to watch a movie. Don't forget to carry a portable projector which can make for a much better experience than simply watching a movie on a phone or a laptop.
Lens Mount for Smartphones
Carrying a high end camera is the best way to capture the best moments from your trip. But those things are heavy and might be a little too difficult to bring along. In that case, get a lens mount for your smart phone. These things are small, light and much more portable. Using lens mount amplifies the performance of your phone camera saves you the trouble of having to carry your camera everywhere.
Survival Kit
If you are a little geekier, or maybe just a little too cautious, you might want to get a survival kit. Most of these survival kits are designed to help you survive in case you find yourself in a post-apocalyptic world. So yeah, they can pretty much help you deal with a little wilderness on your night out. These kits come with basic items such as fire starters, rain covers, ropes and pocket knives.
Flashlights
Flashlights are a camping essential and maybe one of the oldest pieces of technologies that people have been taking on their nights out.You might just want to take a leak or go on an excursion at night, but do not forget to carry a proper flashlight with you. You never know what might be out there in the wilderness. A source of light could be life saving specially when there's a chance you could trip over something or step on something poisonous. So you definitely need to carry one. Also carry a few spare batteries for emergencies.
Drones
Well, it may be a little too much but trust me, these things can truly enhance your camping experience. Not only that, these things can actually be helpful as well. Sure they can be used for capturing great photos and videos but they can also be used when you're lost out in the wilderness to find your way back. Even having a drone with you wouldn't best the worst thing in the world.
Power Bank
A long trip away from power sources might have a toll on your devices. There is a lot to see and a lot to experience but you cannot share it with others because your camera just died out. Be sure to carry a large power bank to be rid of such nuisances. About 20Ah should suffice for a night out even for all your friends.
Multiple port cable
Cables with multiple ports are nothing new. But when you are out on a trip and are stuck with a limited power source, these things come quite handy. Pair one of these with the power bank you just got, and now you have enough power for everyone to last your entire night out. Get one with different types of port so that everyone can recharge.
