Sierra Madre Hot Pocket
When it works, it works. Lay it on chest, under insulation, nice toasty warmth. When it works. SM not responsive to issues. Battery packs poor. Bought two—one for wife, one for me—for Christmas! In the right situation, they can provide warmth. On my chest when I'm napping. On my lap in the car. This thing in a sleeping bag would rock, but... They don't stay on, shutting off at random. A month of sporadic use, trying to figure out best ways to use them, and one battery has failed. Company not… Full review
BioLite HeadLamp 750
A decent premium headlight I had lost my comparable BD headlamp (a smaller version of BD's Icon 700?) I enjoy not needing batteries. The battery pack is pretty chunky. I had to improvise an overhead strap for running—successful? tbd Cheers - gs Full review
Fenix HM60R
The Fenix HM60Ris a 1200-Max Lumen, rechargeable headlamp with an exceptionally long battery life. The light outperforms every headlamp I have owned over the past 21 years of caving. Weighing in at 157grams with the battery, the lamp is light enough to throw into the backpack. “Intelligent Frequency-Sensing” adjust the lumens of the light to the speed of the user, so that a trail runner does not have to fidget with the settings as they speed up or slow down. Coming in at under $80, the light… Full review
BioLite AlpenGlow 500
BioLite's AlpenGlow 500 is a reliable and rechargeable 500-lumen lantern that offers a wide range of color options from bright party colors to a subtle candle-like feeling. The simple one-button design takes a little time to figure out how to access each mode, but once figured out, is easy to operate. A smaller 250 lumen option is also available from the manufacturer. Conditions: What started out as a car-camping lantern quickly turned into a back porch lantern and eventually my daughter’s favorite… Full review
AceVolt Campower 2000
The AceVolt Campower 2000 is a powerful generator that can be used to charge your electronics while you’re off the grid. Cost: $1,699 Weight: 48.5 pounds Volts: 100-120 Campower 2000 Staying self-sufficient while you’re camping or on the road can be really challenging. You might be able to charge your phone while you’re driving, or mooch off of a nearby cafe for a quick electricity fix. But a small generator is a complete game changer for travelers like me. I’ve been on the road for 5 months. Full review
ACR Firefly PRO Solas
Lightweight and practical! A serious consideration for safety! I purchased this a few months ago from ACR where I had previously purchased their PLB. This is a very bright strobe light that can be activated for rescue in dark woods, at night or during the day. It weighs a little over four ounces with alkaline batteries and even less with the longer lasting and lighter lithium batteries. Up to 56 hours of strobe and about 20 steady light on. Visible up to three miles! Has settings of strobe, steady-on,… Full review
BASU eAlarm Plus 130dB Emergency Alarm
A small yet very loud (130db) tripwire alarm, great for camping in dangerous areas, such as those with bears and other animals. By setting up a safe perimeter, or attached to gear to warn against camp thieves, it’s also useful against humans,. I purchased the eAlarm Plus a while ago to use it in everyday situations. I’ll attach it with my helmet to my bike as I enter a store. Or to my bag, when I’m at the airport and must pay attention to something for a couple of minutes. Things like that. Full review
L.L.Bean Waterproof Solar Flashlight
Big Mistake—DO NOT BUY The batteries that hold the solar charge fail after a few years and cannot be replaced! Apparently, this product was never designed to have the rechargeable batteries replaced. Sure, the item also runs on disposable backup lithium batteries, but then what is the point of the rechargeable solar feature. I am disappointed LL Bean sold these. Full review
LuminAID PackLite Max 2-in-1 Power Lantern
I bought my PackLite Max 2-in-1 online from luminAid as a backup power supply for charging up some of my electronic gear as I hiked. It served as a great source of lighting while in my tent after dark on the Appalachian Trail. I carry a couple of different solar panels while hiking and or canoeing and when I saw the luminAid online I liked what I saw. I thought it would make a good camp light and I don't have to worry about batteries going dead. Full review
