Actually. there are lots of gadgets like sleeping bags, camping tents, 4 person tents and backpacking tents. These make your great journey  and traveling with best experience from awful to awesome. Since, traveling and camping outdoors is becoming the norm. From the best sleeping bags to the perfect mountain tents and best beach wagons, we need to know a lot about good travel gears to make our outdoors adventure a success.

So, you can also use these as gifts for your loved ones who are crazy to travel.

Luggage tracker

First Thing first. To start with, let’s face it, while traveling the one most annoying thing that happens with commuter is that they somehow loose their luggage somewhere. And most of such scenarios happen while boarding and de-boarding. So, there is a need to make use of something that will not only be able to help us from tracking our luggage down when it’ll go missing. But also, will make us feel secure and safe. So, imagine, how convenient it will be if we were not to worry about out luggage getting lost.

This is where our first travel gear for outdoors. Because when you are outdoors most of the time, you are more likely to loose your luggage. So, a Luggage Tracker comes into the picture. While a Luggage tracker is nothing but a small devices fitted with a GPS chip. But, it can be conveniently monitored via your smartphone. And also through PCs via the app. There is a device called ‘Trackdot’ that uses the GSM technology to send and receive alerts to the owner. And the only downside of this tracker is that there is a monthly, yearly and a lifetime subscription fee. The fee has to be paid to get the tracking functionality to work. When the device is under 30 feet from you, it starts sending a notification.

A high capacity Battery bank

Power banks are very popular travel gear these days. As, the smartphone won’t last for more than 12 hours a day on a normal day of usage. So, people have been purchasing power banks from many manufacturers nowadays. One of such battery pack travel gear is offered by Anker. The Anker PowerCore sports a whopping 20,100 mAh battery inside that can charge your smartphone almost ten times (Varies with smartphones). Thus, this is a must-have accessory. Particularly, while you are traveling. As there is a lot of chances of traveling to places where we often don’t have a steady charging point. And this is where the use of such battery bank travel gear comes into play. It is particularly a must have travel gear when outdoors because anytime you run out of battery you will not have accessibility to a ready charging point for your electronic devices. On our road trip to Gandikota, we carried not one but two battery banks with us which helped us keep our phone charges during the entire trip.

  1. I’ve never thought of having a luggage tracker before – it looks like a really useful piece of equipment, especially for travel in areas where things are more likely to go wrong!! I’d rather pay upfront than have a subscription fee, but the whole concept is very appealing to anyone (like me) who has ever had lost luggage!
