‘Be prepared’ is the well known boy scout motto which everyone ought to bear in mind when traveling into remote places. Always make sure you have a source of power, a source of light, a means of communication and some way to boil water and prepare food. Traditionally this has meant carrying a lot of extra stuff, hard work if all that weight has to go on your back. The good news is that these days sophisticated new solar accessories mean you can leave those bulky batteries behind. Carrying solar accessories is an excellent option in situations where an emergency may arise, as they’re far less likely to fail than traditional electrical devices. Sure, they can’t charge up after dark, but carrying a flexible solar panel on your backpack or attached to the side f your car will ensure that they’re fully charged by the time the sun goes down. Modern solar accessories are now just as lightweight and easy to use as their traditional counterparts. They include torches which absorb light during the day and then release it after dark when you need it to help you get around. Solar radios mean that you’ll never be out of touch with the world - no matter how remote the place you venture to, all you’ll need is sunlight to keep them working. Other popular solar accessories for the conscientious traveler include solar stoves which can be set out in the sun to cook your food and boil your water, removing the need to carry bulky bottles of tap water everywhere and greatly reducing the risk of forest fires. Solar accessories like these are making hiking trips easier and easier and are also a practical emergency resource on long car trips. They mean that you’ll have a lot less to worry about and can concentrate on enjoying your journey.
