Gadgets that matter!
There's all kinds of gadgets out there these days, but this is one you may want to consider. Especially if you have an iPhone. Ever have your iPhone run out of battery and there's no outlet nearby? *my Charge+* is a portable light weight battery that you plug into the wall to charge it (2 hours for a full charge) then throw it in a back pack, purse, etc. and if your phone dies, you can charge it - from stone dead to 100% in 2 hours!
Not only that, but it also has a USB port, a micro USB and USB cord that can charge a lap top. You can literally charge 3 devices at once and by pressing a button, it will tell you how much "charge" is left. Pretty neat. With one charge, I've charged an iPhone form 30% to full, 50% to full (twice), my wrist remote for my Go Pro from dead to 2/3 and the Wi Fi Back pack from 1/3 to full. For $79 from Best Buy, it's definitely worth the money. And will likely come in very hand for the Olsen's out on the trail...
