GoSun Solar Grill
$699; www.gosun.co
Ideal for camping, fishing, a day at the beach, road trips, and tailgating, the GoSun Solar Grill is perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors. It can be used safely as it never gets hot to the touch on the outside while inside it cooks your food just like your kitchen oven at temperatures reaching 550 degrees. It can be used all year even in sub-zero conditions. Unlike gas/wood cookers that require a lot of babysitting, GoSun’s solar ovens give you free time to relax while the food is cooking – just like your oven at home. Easy, quick, fun and healthy. It works for anything you’d cook in your kitchen oven including chicken, fish, bacon, meatballs, pizza, soup, tea/coffee, bread, baked goods like brownies, and more.
Thermacell Portable Mosquito Repeller
$34.99; www.thermacell.com
The Thermacell MR450 Armored Portable Mosquito Repeller effectively repels mosquitoes by creating a 15-foot zone of protection. This small rugged device can be taken virtually anywhere to repel pesky mosquitoes, stopping them before they can bite or bother you. The MR450 features rubber armor, ZoneCheck, belt clip, quiet ignition, reengineered grill and switch, and improved ergonomics. ZoneCheck provides a visual indication when zone of protection is created.
Yeti Hopper Flip 8 Cooler
$199; www.yeti.com
One of the joys of a day trip is traveling light. The Hopper Flip in a new smaller size is perfect for keeping your food and drinks cold while out in the field. The Hopper Flip 8 has the insulation power only a YETI can offer, and is engineered to be tough – because flying solo doesn’t mean you won’t get a little dirty. The Hopper Flip 8 is your new day trip MVP.
Wickelfisch Waterproof Bags
$20; www.wickelfischusa.com
Wickelfisch swim bags are waterproof and made of lightweight, durable ripstop nylon. The bags have a fold seal system and a carrying strap designed for easy operation. Simply place your belongings inside the waterproof bag, roll up the tail seven times leaving air inside the bag, strap on the bag and go for a swim. Since the bag floats, it is also useful when swimming, tubing, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, boating, and wake boarding.
Decibullz Custom Bluetooth Earphones
$69; www.decibullz.com
Quickly molded to the exact shape of your ears, Decibullz custom Bluetooth earphones create a perfect fit that will never hurt and never fall out, while ensuring superior noise isolation and sound quality. Shaping the Decibullz thermoplastic molds is achieved by heating the molds in hot water, snapping them onto the earphones, and shaping them to your ears.
