Even though there are a few people who are sure that
they can find their way through unknown woods in the
dark, the rest of us will need a little help
navigating through the wilderness on a camping trip.
This is why Top Gear Camping sells the electronics
and instruments, which most of us should not plan a
camping trip without. We have atmospheric measuring
devices, compasses, GPS units, health and fitness
instruments, metal detectors and accessories, radios
and walkie-talkies, and solar equipment all from the
leading brands for sale at discount prices.
A GPS locator is an important tool for any hiker,
backpacker, or snowsports enthusiast to have on
hand. Even if you think you know the trail, which
you are to follow, most experts will agree it can
never hurt to have a GPS unit to fall back on in
case you lose your way. It is important to remember
to keep your GPS unit on at all times when hiking in
dense forests because your GPS will usually keep a
signal once it is obtained, but it can be hard to
locate a satellite signal in heavily forested areas.
While a GPS can usually get you to where you are
going, you will often also require a decent compass
and a map of the terrain when hiking. A GPS requires
that you travel at a minimum of 10 miles per hour in
order for the optimal accuracy. Therefore, after
determining a general path from a GPS, you may need
to use the “old-fashioned” compass and map to find
an exact heading. If you are not yet an expert with
a compass, we recommend the Orienteering Handbook by
Silva to perfect your navigating skills.
Some specialty compasses even come with unique
features like split-sighting mirrors to allow you to
get superior accuracy when navigating from distant
landmarks. Overall, a quality compass is a good tool
help keep you on the right track when hiking or
backpacking.
Walkie-talkies are also good to have on hand
especially when camping with children or in groups.
When hiking with a group, it is good to have two-way
radios in case you become separated or several group
members fall behind. A walkie-talkie may be used to
allow children to have their own explorations nearby
the campsite, while still being aware of what is
going on. Since cell phones do not work in the
remote areas where most people camp and hike,
walkie-talkies offer a good substitute for a way to
stay in contact with other family or group members.
Health and fitness accessories, such as
speedometers or accelerometers are useful tools when
biking or hiking. These allow you to keep a record
of your speed during an excursion. Some functions,
which top accelerometers can perform, include:
- Distinguishing between running and walking
- Calculating the number of steps taken
- Calculating average speed
- Determining total distance, caloric
expenditure, and total exercise time.
Solar equipment can be used when backpacking or
camping in the wilderness. When you find yourself
camping far from the conveniences of modern life,
such as electricity, you may
need to rely on solar equipment. Solar equipment
uses the sun’s energy to charge batteries and even
your iPod. We sell solar equipment from the leading
manufactures including Bruton and Silva.
