Spending outdoor time with the family or taking a nice weekend hiking trip to clear one's mind is a great summer activity. Being outdoors for extended periods of time can be tricky due to lack of reliable power and normal essentials we have access to every day. This week we will go over a few items that will make your camping, hiking or backpacking excursion a little more comfortable.
Lanterns and Flashlights
Access to reliable lighting is one of the most important things to remember when planning your trip. The wonderful flashlight and lantern line by Goal Zero will ensure you not only have access to reliable lightning, but a means to replenish power to those items when AC power is absent. The Goal Zero Lighthouse 400 Kit features a super bright Lantern that can run for up to 48 hours continuously! The included Nomad 7 Plus solar panel will not only recharge the lantern, but provide power directly to your Smart phones and USB devices. Consider adding on a Goal Zero Torch 250 Flashlight. It can be recharged with the Nomad 7 Plus solar panel from the Lantern Kit and even features a Hand Crank option for emergency situations. Perfect for camping, hiking, and RVing!
Clean Water
The Stainless-Steel Base Camp Large Kettle is a must have when backpacking, hiking or simply planning for emergency situations. Easily boil water, make hot drinks, rehydrate food or prepare a meal in a fast and efficient manner. Add on items are available as well, such as the Large Cook Set, which includes a pot, frying pan (pot lid), 2-piece grill and gripper handle. Cooking and boiling water has never been easier with the Stainless-Steel Kettle.
Cooking on the Go
The GoSun Sport Solar Oven has the ability to cook a meal in as little as 20 minutes! You can steam, bake, fry, roast and boil. The Vacuum tube keeps the exterior surface cool to the touch. It even deploys in seconds and collapses into a durable package which is perfect for backpacking and hiking. The new larger GoSun Solar Grill can feed up to eight people and produce 4x more food than the speedier GoSun Sport. The SoSun Grill is a better option for long term camping, outdoor family outings or a day at the beach.
Portable Power
The Goal Zero Yeti 1400 Lithium Portable Solar Generator Kit packs a 100-Watt Foldable Solar Panel and massive 132 Ah Lithium Lightweight battery, perfect for powering almost all of your on the go items. With the Yeti 1400 in your tent you can easily power your smartphones, Lights, Speakers, CPAP machine, 12V Coolers, Televisions, and more. For an even more portable option, take a look at the Yeti 400 Lithium Unit. With the smaller Yeti 400 in your pack you can recharge all of your AC, 12V and USB devices, ensuring you always have a direct line out if assistance is needed.
