We all know someone that likes to live life on the edge, someone that seeks out adventure whenever they can. Whether it’s climbing Everest or hiking the Appalachian Trail, these thrill seekers are usually impulsive and without fear.
However, that doesn’t mean that they don’t benefit from a helping hand every now and then. Modern technology can help them to stay connected with family and friends, prevent them getting lost and prove vital should they get into trouble. With that in mind, we’ve listed some essential gadgets for the adrenaline junkie in your life.
Staying connected
Although many individuals like the feeling of isolation that comes with embarking on a big adventure, you should always make sure that you’re contactable should an emergency occur.
A satellite phone is a great piece of kit if you’re worried about not having any phone reception, but on the other hand, a modern smartphone offers many more additional features. If you want a camera to take some snaps, the smartphone has you covered. If you need to watch a film or read a book, the smartphone wins again.
It is a good idea to opt for a durable phone that can stand up to a few bumps on your travels, but there are plenty of businesses offering cell phone repair should disaster strike on your adventures.
Staying charged
Taking your favourite pieces of tech with you on your epic journey seems like a great idea, until you realise that there aren’t any plug sockets in the great outdoors. Fortunately, there are a wide range of portable chargers available to suit all your gadget needs.
Before purchasing, remember to check for any compatibility issues with your devices and consider what size and capacity would suit you best. If you haven’t already purchased a portable charger to fuel your Pokémon Go addiction, then perhaps it is time to buy one for some of your more extreme pursuits.
For the perfect shot
Whether it’s extreme sports that you’re into or travelling to exotic locations, a decent camera is a must. Although you’ll want to make sure that the picture quality is up to scratch, you should also ensure that the camera is durable enough to survive whatever you throw at it.
There are so many cameras available now for the amateur photographer to choose from that selecting just one can be hugely challenging. Adrenaline junkies would be advised to go for something sturdy but small, so it’s always at hand to capture that once in a lifetime shot.
For your caffeine hit
Does the thought of going without your morning coffee bring you out in a cold sweat? Fortunately the gadget world has this problem sorted for all the intrepid adventurers out there.
The Handpresso Pump lets you make Italian espresso wherever you are, with no battery or plug required. All you need is some ground coffee or pods, some hot water and some elbow grease and you can enjoy your favourite drink whether you’re up a mountain or in the middle of the desert.
The right piece of tech can enrich any experience, so if you’re a bit of a thrill-seeker or know someone that is, there’s sure to be a gadget to suit your next adventure.
