May 2, 2007Corsair Flash Survivor USB 2.0 Flash Drives
The Corsair Flash Survivor drives are perhaps the only real contender in the rugged flash drives niche. These drives are water resistant to 200 meters and boast some shock protection. The casing is aluminum. For me the best feature is a lack of reliance on the ubiquitous click-caps used by nearly every other flash drive. These drives are the ticket if you'd like to protect up to 8GB of data from dust, water, and sudden drops. The 4GB version retails for $60 and the 8GB version retails for $130. With the larger version you're not only getting more space, but (according to Corsair) higher speed as well.

The Yodobashi bottle cap tripod is still the only easily commercially available product of its kind. It's now on sale at Semson's for nearly half off, at $10.99. The more adventurous among you might prefer to make your own for $3.37 in parts and a small investment of time. Both methods are great way to save some space and weight while travelling if you've got a camera small enough to make this useful.

If you've ever wanted to listen to your iPod while swimming, snorkeling or navigating an inhospitable environment then the H20 Audio line of Waterproof iPod cases is for you. They're tough, waterproof and sexy. The case is a water tight compartment, lined with what they call a "T Seal" type of gasket. By using a dual locking hinge system, H2O is able to ensure a tight compression around the entire iPod thereby keeping water out. How do you maintain control of your audio while in such a sophisticated case, you ask? H2O's patented case design is complete with a Commander™ Scroll Wheel control assembly, allowing seamless song switching even while wearing gloves. To prevent water seeping in through the headphone connection, a SealTight™ rubber boot is installed at the base of the unit. While most headphones themselves are not waterproof, H2O sells a line of waterproof headsets that are well regarded for their audio quality and propensity to stay in place while swimming. Capable of depths of up to 10 feet (or 200 feet using the DV model), the H2O Audio iPod Cases are highly recommended when you can't let a simple thing like Level 4 white water rapids deprive you of your rocking tunes. Starting at $79.95 direct from H2O Audio. Posted by Jesse Gunderson at 11:38 AM | Comments (0) | TrackBack February 17, 2006SnowClaw Snow Shovel

Some of us have more electronics on us than a Tokyo electronics store, most of which have an insatiable thirst for more power. Being trekkers we're often far from an outlet and don't always lug around solar panels for field charging our electronics. The PocketPower from Gear4.com can help us. This ultra-small device is built for portable power. It features an integrated power pack for source power and recharges via any USB device. The PocketPower is capable of charging virtually all USB devices via the integrated retractable USB cable. Additionally you can charge up to four AAA batteries (included) at a time for other non-USB devices. Gear4.com says the PocketPower is capable of supplying enough juice to power an iPod for an additional 8 hours. If you need extra juice for an iPod, camera or phone in the field, look no further than the PocketPower from Gear4.com Thanks goes to Gizmodo for the lead.

While solar-powered electronics are great for trekking, camping, or adventuring outdoors, oftentimes during an emergency or in areas without much sunlight they're just not practical. Therefore I've compiled a list of hand-crank alternatives, and dual purpose (both solar and hand-crank) for those that wish to remain versatile while running a lean inventory. Flashlights: The Kaito 3 LED Dynamo Recommended for: Emergencies, power outages, day hikes, camping backup Princess International makes a more unique offering, the 4-in-1 Dynamo. They call it 4-in-1 which is misleading because it's more of a 2-in-1. It features a spotlight or direct light beam, as well as a mosquito repeller (hi/low selection), which adds up to four total features. It's hand-crank powered as well as having a DC jack. On a full charge the light will last up to 3.5 hours, and the mosquito repellent will last for 48 hours. For the curious, the mosquito repellent isn't chemical, it's actually an artifical reproduction of the sound of dragon fly wings flapping (a natural enemy of the mosquito). Its range is reported at about 13 feet. Recommended for: Camping, trekking, multi-day hikes, bicycling, evening walks (chemical-free mosquito prevention) The Kaito Forever It works quite well on a walk or hike; the swinging of your arms with your stride is enough to keep power going. It's also shockproof, waterproof, and it floats. If this isn't a great boat light, nothing is. Recommend for: Boats, day hikes, walking Radios: For Radios, there's the Stansport Hand-Crank/Solar Battery Radio/Flashlight Recommended for: Emergencies, camping, hiking, day at the beach Cell Phone Charger: The SOS Charger hand-crank cell phone charger is very cool. It's compatible with Nokia, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson and Samsung phones, and will give you an emergency charge for 3 minutes of cranking time. I know I could have used this many times. Far superior to keeping an assortment of extra batteries with you or waiting until daybreak to use your solar charger. Recommended for: Everyone Cookware: While not an essential resource this could bring quite a bit of enjoyment or a nice reward for reaching that next peak.

Hot on the heels of our Solar charger roundup, we've learned via TreeHugger that we missed a unique offering. Voltaic released three new bags with builtin 4 watt solar panels. They all look very classy and would be great for walking and charging ipods, phones, and cameras.

While researching our upcoming multi-fuel portable stoves roundup I came across Mark Jurey's Penny Alcohol Stove. Many claim it to be the best DIY alcohol stove they've used. I had not researched alcohol as a fuel source extensively until reading about this stove but it looks like a very viable option--finding burnable alcohol on your trip will be almost as easy as finding petrol. The price is right, at roughly three Heineken cans, and it's claimed that the stove can be made in the field with only a sharp knife available. Most travelers I know can spare that, and many will jump at the chance to make this stove if it calls for them to drink a few beers first. For more information you can check out Zen Stoves (which isn't limited to information on alcohol stoves) and Art Simon's review of lightweight alcohol stoves for backpacking.

Google Sightseeing--whose motto is "Why bother seeing the world for real?"--allows those of us without the wherewithal or ability to take time off work to see the world. It's a frequently updated blog that highlights interesting satellite imagery using Google Maps satellite data. The site is very well designed and browsable by location, category, and through a map interface. I believe most of the Google Maps satellite data comes from Google's acquisition of Keyhole last year. Now Google is almost ready to unveil the updated version of Keyhole, called Google Earth. The screenshot makes me very excited, as it looks capable of overlaying driving directions and has many other enhancements over the original Keyhole software. No word yet on whether it will be free or join the stable of Google's few pay offerings. [Sergey] Brin demonstrated how in the new release, he could "fly"--in a virtual sense--through the Grand Canyon, a landmark he's never visited in person, and view the canyon's peaks and valleys. There's currently a beta version of Google Earth available that you can play around with as well as the official Google Earth website. If you'd like a completely free alternative there's NASA's World Wind software, the opensource equivalent to Keyhole and Google Earth. World Wind is setup to access some of NASA's scientific data, and users have been udpating it to show data of interest to many. World Wind is also useful for checking out global news in a novel new way--it allows the user to view alerts on the globe. Forest fires, flooding, and earthquakes can all be seen soon after they happen. The connected traveler could use this data to make updates to their route in realtime, avoiding delays or rushing in to document or help out in a disaster.
Finally, for a pictorial travelogue from a place that few travelers will ever go, see Elena's Kid of Speed website. She takes her Kawasaki Ninja through the ghost town of Chernobyl in the irradiated zone, Geiger counter and camera in hand. It is an amazing and sobering look at the aftereffects of a nuclear disaster: I have ridden all my life and over the years I have owned several different motorbikes. I ended my search for a perfect bike with a big kawasaki ninja, that boasts a mature 147 horse power, some serious bark, is fast as a bullet and comfortable for a long trips.

The Pak-Lite is a very simple concept that has a definite appeal for hikers and other travelers with an eye on keeping their carry weight down. It's basically a battery cap that also happens to contain a three-way switch and two ultra-bright LEDs, and which happens to have survived the Pacific Crest Trail and the Appalachian Trail, three months in a freezer, 45 days frozen in a block of ice, and a drop from an airplane traveling at 100mph. It's a flashlight stripped down to the bare essentials, where the battery itself is the grip. The next time you need a light that doesn't weigh much more than a 9-volt battery I suggest you give it a try. It also comes in an infrared version--which would come in handy for both night-vision users and those interested in infrared photography--and a flashing version for those that need an emergency signal.

Anyone who has any interest in professional sports, rock climbing, running or any other outdoor activity has almost surely heard of Under Armour. It's been around for a couple of years now and continues to innovate with newer products and continued advancements in the technology surrounding their patented fabric. My goal is to test a variety of their products and offer my recommendations for their use. The focus of this review will be to evaluate a few of the more general items to meet our readers' trekking and adventuring needs. I will focus less on numbers and more on my perception of performance. How I feel and what I feel like while wearing and using the various products is what is being evaluated. I intend to evaluate the following Under Armour products in some varied environments: Heat Gear: Tight compression fabric designed for high performance heat removal Read on after the jump for my detailed impressions. Styles: (Sleeveless, T-Shirt, Long Sleeve, Turf (reinforced forearm construction) The first thing I noticed when I put it on was how much compression was actually applied to my body through the shirt. It's not a tight, restrictive feeling; it's just a solid compression in specific body areas. Wearing it I feel freer in range of movement than any other shirt I've worn. The strength of compression is stronger in my abs, arms, shoulders and mid-upper chest. It feels almost like you have a spotter walking around with you, making sure you're supported properly. I tested the shirt hiking, kayaking, running and lifting weights. I must say, I have to recommend it over cotton hands down. It never shifted positions; it never bound up or felt tight. It stayed exactly how I first put it on from start to finish. While hiking and running I was able to feel the air cool me as if I was naked. The moisture was quickly pulled from my body and stayed consistently drier (and exceptionally lighter) than my cotton t-shirts, regardless of how hard my output was. Kayaking and lifting weights was a slightly different experience. When I was kayaking I was wet pretty the majority of the time. However, what I did notice was that my range of motion was not constricted and I didn't feel slowed down, nor was I getting a rash where I normally would from wearing wet cotton for several hours. It also stayed very light throughout the entire day and dried very fast when not being consistently splashed. Lifting weights was a similar experience. I also noted that I felt more "together" in that the fabric seemed to support my movements and give my muscles support and lift. Overall I was very impressed with the performance. Recommended for: Base layer, hiking (extreme), running/sprinting, athletic sports, bouldering / rock climbing (turf gear due to forearm protection) Styles: (Sleeveless, T-Shirt, Long Sleeve) Loose Gear is similar in function and design to Heat Gear, the main difference being that it comes designed with no compression. This is excellent for people who are not fit enough to wear the compression gear as their only layer of clothing due to its form fitting nature. I've had a few chances to use the loose gear in many of the same situations as the standard Heat Gear, and in each circumstance the same couple of thoughts came to mind. Using Loose Gear in the gym, on the track, or hiking is definitely better than cotton could ever be. The performance was not as great as the Heat Gear and it also seemed to hold slightly more water. It was also heavier (both wet and dry) than the Heat Gear product. While not quite at the level of Heat Gear the performance of Loose Gear is still far above that of standard cotton t-shirts. My perception of the performance difference between Loose Gear and Heat Gear would probably be 30%. It's still good, just not great. I was spoiled by the performance of Heat Gear early on. Recommended for: Daily wear, hiking (moderate), jogging (moderate) Styles: (Crew, Mock Turtleneck, Action Legging) Cold Gear takes the best of what's found in Heat Gear and adds the ability to trap in warm dry air. I purchased the Mock Turtleneck and used it throughout the Pacific Northwest winter in a variety of capacities. To say I was thoroughly impressed is an understatement. It slips on very easily, looks sharp under almost any windbreaker or coat, and locks in heat like you wouldn't believe. On even the coldest nights--while trudging through snow--only Cold Gear and a windbreaker were all that was needed to stay warm. I was able to put Cold Gear through some rapid temperature changes in my work as an EMT/Fire Fighter. Wearing it under my uniform I took it from a 70 degree fire station to the 30 degree outdoors and back to an 80 degree aid car after working hard to haul patients back and forth. Cold Gear stood the test every step of the way. Indoor temperatures are handled perfectly; the breathable fabric held up great. Outdoors, after a second of adjustment, I was again very comfortable. My only complaint was that due to the breathability of the fabric when the wind picks up the temperature of the clothing drops a few degrees. A cheap windbreaker would prevent this. The temperature drop I did experience was not enough for me to worry about moving to a warmer environment, which is pretty spectacular for 30 degree weather with no coat! The side of Cold Gear I haven't talked about is its moisture wicking. I sweat a lot, especially in temperature fluctuations from cold to hot. I was consistently dry, and thus more confident while performing my duties. Was I hot at times? Sure, but unlike when I wear my normal cotton t-shirt, I was not dripping with sweat--only to have it freeze into a sheet of ice when I get back out into the cold. I have to recommend this piece as either a standalone with just a windbreaker for normal winter temps, or as a base layer for more dangerous temperature extremes. Recommended for: Snow camping, skiing, mountain climbing, cold weather work, base layer Styles: (Various) Underwear also comes in two styles, though the Loose Gear equivalent is called "Relaxed". Underwear wicks away moisture to cool and dry the wearer. I've been using it on and off for a couple months now, and I must say I really like it. It does take some getting used to, as the fabric is more "slick" than any boxer you've worn before. For me, this meant having pants ride a little lower and slide around on my seat until I got the hang of them. It sounds funny, but it's true. I really like these for doing a serious cardio workout where you know you're going to be shedding water like crazy. Having damp boxers chafing on you isn't any fun, and with these on I didn't experience that. One downside I did notice is that during a full sprint they do tend to ride up a little. It's nowhere near what boxers can do to you, however. The socks are a must-have item for any adventurer or trekker. I use the Heat Gear Lo-Cuts, and these things vent moisture like nothing else I've used. They also have a reinforced and padded footbed which you feel the second you slip these things on. They cost quite a bit more than regular socks ($12) but having a few sets on hand will repay you with much more comfort than regular socks could bring. Even casual hikers know the pain of walking down the trail with blisters all over their feet from cotton socks--this is what inspired me to buy these in the first place. I'm happy to report that hiking, bouldering, and running were all completed on consecutive days with no foot discomfort at all. With cotton socks doing any of those events used to require me to perform minor foot surgery. If you try nothing else, try the socks.

You know the feeling: You've made the final ascent of K2 only to find your camera's batteries are dead, leaving you with no way to prove to the guys back home that you were actually there. We want to make sure this doesn't happen to you, so we've detailed our favorite picks for mobile power. Soldius has the smallest solution I've seen, which also happens to be the most powerful gram for gram. The Solidus1 is a compact cell phone charger designed to provide enough power to completely charge a phone in 2-3 hours of direct sunlight. Amazingly it weighs only 85 grams and will fit in your pocket! This is also the only model I've seen which does not require an attached battery pack. It's compatible with Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Siemens, and Sony phones. A model to charge PDAs and other accessories is in the works now. Here's more information on the Soldius1. The Solio is another solution, it weighs quite a bit more due to its integrated 1600mAh rechargeable batteries. It uses by far the most unique looking panel setup, called Solar Blade. It has sleek lines and folds up to about a third of its size when not in use. Capable of charging PDAs, cell phones, the Gameboy SP & Gameboy Advance, and iPods--at the same power and rate as if they were using their own power blocks--this is my pick for portable power. $99.99 from Solio. I run my equipment quite hard, and if you're like me then ICP's PowerFlex is the only solution that you should consider. It is constructed of lightweight, ultra-flexible CIGS solar cells and designed to take a beating. ICP produces 5, 10, 20 and 40 watt versions of the PowerFlex, all of which are capable of being daisy-chained together via plug & play side connectors. These would be great for draping over the rear of your backpack, providing you on-the-go charging of all your electronics or batteries. View the specifications and choose the model that's right for you. Trekking on a budget? Check out all-battery.com. They're selling the Solar E-Power on sale for $49.99 right now. Compatible with a whole host of cell phones and smaller electronics, this panel is capable of 1.38 watts in direct sunlight and comes with a series of adapters to meet your needs.

Ronja is an interesting DIY design plan for building a set of optical 10Mbps transceivers capable of beaming information at 10Mbps up to 1.4 kilometers away. It's full duplex and costs less than $60. Ronja is small and easily transportable to remote locations for quick deployment of communication infrastructure. The technology simulates a LAN connection via LED transmission rather than using radio waves. Transfer files between base camps, create village to village networks, or relay communications over multiple, cheap installations. From the site: Ronja (Reasonable Optical Near Joint Access) is a Free Technology (like Free Software) project of optical point-to-point data link. The design is released under the GNU General Public License: you get all the necessary documentation and construction guides free. The construction costs are minimal; it's probably the cheapest wireless system ever. The operation is reliable and immune to interference.

You might try Chu Moy's portable design which can run on 9-volt or NiMH batteries: Chu Moy designed a very popular headphone amplifier that's easy to build, and it can be built small enough to fit in a pocket, power supply and all. It's powerful enough to drive very inefficient headphones to thunderous volumes from even weak sources, and it sounds excellent considering that you can build a bare-bones CMoy amp for just US$20, and a pretty nice amp for under $50. Considering that the cheapest of the worthy commercial amps is $100 and most of them are in the $200+ range, this is a very worthwhile cost difference.
