So convenient!

You'll look so suave when you pull the Matador out of your pocket and fan it out like a — well, like a matador. Just watch out for stray bulls.

Get it here.

Campfires and battery powered things are great, but sometimes you want more. This generator includes a 12V car socket, an AC outlet and four USB ports.

Get it here.

Baby, let me light your fire...with my laces.

These rubber-tipped tying devices hide tiny little rods with a lot of power: Strike one to produce a spark "robust" enough to start a fire.

Get them here.

Your fridge has a light; doesn't your cooler deserve one too? Of course it does.

Get it here.

Listen to music on the beach (or when there's the possibility of rain) without worrying about ruining your speakers. The battery in this Turtle Shell speaker will give you "16 hours of party time" and will also help you out by charging other electronic devices.

Get it here.

Cookware that will tuck right into your backpack, leaving you with more space for other necessities (like snacks: lots and lots of snacks).

Get it here.

This is the perfect light source for a backpacker: It won't take up any room in your pack — just hang it from a strap during the daylight hours and expand it (fully charged from a day in the sun) at night.

Get it here.

"Go off-grid but don't get lost" using goTenna. Did you wander too far off the path while following a raccoon to get a look at its adorable little hand-paws? Text your camping buddy to figure out how to get back to the waterfall you're supposed to be chilling at.

Get it here.

Buy one of these to cool you and your beverages down with an "icy breeze."

Get it here.

Why buy a kayak you have to strap to the roof of your vehicle when you could just buy one that folds up into an easily transportable package? This model is great for both novice and expert paddlers.

Get it here.

It also includes a compass (but let's be real, you're more interested in using it to drink some booze).

Get it here.

Blue Freedom = a water wheel that fits in your backpack. You could be 100 miles away from the nearest power outlet, but as long as you have some running water, your phone will not die.

Get it here.

A wireless sonar device that will keep you from going home from a fishing trip empty-handed. It reveals the location of those sneaky fish, will work in depths from 1.5 feet to around 130 feet, and gives you a detailed view of the terrain of the bottom of the body of water you're fishing in.

Get it here.

Just because you want to get back to nature doesn't mean you want to get away from caffeine: The Minipresso helps you get a jolt of energy right at your campsite.

Get it here.

Don't want to start a fire? Can't start a fire? Don't be ashamed! Just use a GoSun and let that big ball o' fire in the sky heat up your dinner for you.

Get it here.

You can take a shower wherever you want! Of course, you probably shouldn't (unless you want to be arrested for indecent exposure), but when you're out in the woods, go for it!

Get it here.

Why sleep on the ground when you could swing from the trees? There's even a pocket to hold your beer!

Get it here.

You don't want to go without a pillow, but they take up so much room — rest your head on one that inflates!

Get it here.

The Exotac will protect your lighter from water even if you get caught in a downpour or swept away in a river (let's hope that neither of those things happen, but at least you'd be able to light a campfire if they did).

Get it here.

Ditch your apartment, sell your house, and spend the rest of your life in one of these things. Done.
