    I am a gadget person so love to see suggestions for new gadgets. And some interesting ones to consider for hiking. Hubby would love to have night vision goggles. My hiking poles might have been the best money I ever spent. There have certainly been many times when a head lamp would have been handy. A great list.

    These is such a great collection of useful gadgets to go hiking. I using myself a power bank for a long time already but it is pretty heavy and only 15 000 MAh. Yours looks much lighter so a good recommendation for the future when I might need to upgrade. I specially like the cookware set, as I think it is great to be able to cook your own food when hiking. A must never forget the “head lamp”. Thanks for putting all this together. I will bookmark it for later.

    Now I’ve restarted my hiking and camping and this is spot-on on time! Those waterproof matchsticks would be the first thing I’d buy. I’ve been thinking of buying some walking poles for those long-distance hikes and these look good. I have this very same powerbank and its my best friend for all my travels. I wonder if the Sea to Summit Wipes are biodegradable….

    Many of these items are great beyond hiking! I would love to have a portable power bank charger for my travels. The one shown looks like the perfect size, and I love that it has it’s own little, efficient case, too. By the way, I travel with the Canon DSLR and hope to upgrade soon. It’s served me well with thousands of travel photos for lasting memories. I am a big fan of Canon products!
