World’s Greatest Flashlight
Monday, October 20, 2008
Not sure about greatest but it can be part of the craziest category.
This thing can illuminate objects hundreds of yards away for upto 11 hours. The halogen bulb is equivalent to 15 million candle power. Rechargeable with either wall or vehicle adapter.

Not as dumb as it sounds.
This solar rechargeable flashlight and lantern has an orange waterproof case and three brightness settings which allow for extended use. Three replaceable NiMH rechargeable batteries and nine LED bulbs included. Made of ABS plastic, a photo voltaic panel, and electronic components.
Not something you would lug backpacking but its definitely something to consider for camping. $30 via MoMA Store

Bushnell BackTrack
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
This weather resistant BackTrack GPS/Compass features just two buttons and simplified user interface, and can store and find up to three locations. Just the push of a button to navigate back to where you started.
This can be useful for backpacking during times where you go off trail into the wood to scout for water/ collect fire wood / take a dump or whatever it may be because let’s admit it not everyone knows how to read a terrain map.
Piranha Dynamo Wind-Up Shaver
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
This Piranha wind-up shaver features a lithium rechargeable battery. 1 minute of winding yields 1.2 minutes of shaving. When fully charged you can go for an hour of shaving time.
In case you don’t want to buy a separate charger specifically for camping lets say, this is a AC adapter for it also.
