Coast XP30HR

Ideal for nighttime venturing or low light exploration (spelunking). Indestructible, rechargeable and you can control the amount of light on your subject; never too little to miss details nor too much to wash out your viewing area.   A very impressive headlamp for its construction, performance, and versatility. Still, I’d have more applications for its use if the turbo mode lasted longer. You feel the flashlight’s weight on your forehead, but it’s not a detriment. The strap provides a comfortable,… Full review

Sierra Madre Hot Pocket

The powerpack discharges. Leaves me high and dry when I'm freelancing with the boss's wife in a place without outlets. How do I get uber without the phone? It's dead, thanks to this dead weight powerpack. Full review

Garmin inReach Explorer+

Used to navigate on land in the High Arctic by gut and no safety net if there was trouble. Then I had kids... I rely heavily on this device for safety since I am camping often in very remote areas with small children. But I also use it for work travelling Nunavik (for after hours on call for medevacs), where I also need this to be dependable. I subscribe to the unlimited messaging, as well as to the insurance policy offered with it. It is our lifeline to home, and our guide when trekking on the… Full review

Princeton Tec Apex

Excellent lamp and after sales service. Great company!! I bought a Princeton Apex rechargeable headlamp for my dad 8 years ago as a Christmas gift. My dad was delighted with the headlamp. He said it was the best on the market. The headlamp has a lifetime guarantee. It stopped working a couple of months ago. I contacted the company and sent back the light. They replaced it with a brand new headlamp. Couldn't recommend this company enough. Excellent after sale service 👏 😊😊😊 Full review

Garmin inReach Mini

I'd recommend this device for anyone going on an extended wilderness trip where they likely won't have cell service. I used it for a week in the Sierra Nevada mountains and it was very helpful as it allowed my group to stay in contact with our families on the outside to notify them of changes in our itinerary. Definitely a must-have from a safety perspective. Ease of use: I found the device easy to use. There are just enough features to be useful, but not too many to the point of being confusing.

Coleman Globe Wrap

So people put covers over their BBQs, golf clubs, motorcycles, pools, etc., but rarely do I see people put covers over their lantern's globe, which is the second most common thing on your lantern to break on your trip, the mantles being the first (I am referring to accidental breakage and not malfunctions). This Coleman Globe protector is a universal type cover and can be used on other lantern brands.   An easy remedy to protect your lantern's glass globe.                          … Full review

Rayovac Indestructible Lantern DIY3DLN-BC

In the Beginning, on the 1st day, the Almighty Rayovac Created Light, and Rayovac saw that the light was good and it separated the light from darkness. And now all of humanity shall not perish in the darkness of night. This Rayovac is the best LED lantern that I own. It claims to be indestructible and waterproof, submergible up to 1 meter deep. When camping in a group, using headlamps for your primary light when sitting around the campfire only results in blinding one another with each other's headlamps. Full review

NiteCore NU25

This is a fantastic headlamp. It's unbelievably light, bright, and has many features for a minimalist headlamp. This headlamp lasts a very long time on a full charge. As a thru-hiker, my main concern was weight and this Nitecore does not disappoint—with a "custom" strap (just a bit of elastic cord with a few adjustable knots) it comes down to just 32g. It has withstood all sorts of weather conditions from well below 0°c to rain and hailstorms at altitude in the Rockies. It is surprisingly bright… Full review
