Go Camping & Harness The Wind & Sun

May 6, 2008 · Filed Under Shopping 

Synonymous with wellies, waterproofs and wet weather, festivals and camping trips should also equal the use of eco friendly products, says the popular Nigel’s Eco Store. By packing environmentally friendly products such as a wind powered iPod, camera and mobile phone charger, solar lights, wind up torches and radios, festival and camping lovers won’t have to worry about running out of juice ever again while reducing their impact on the environment.

Charge Up Your Batteries

“Not being able to charge a phone is not the end of the world if it’s for a couple of days but having a digital camera pack up on you when your favourite band is playing is really frustrating” says Nigel “but with the ingenious HYmini Personal Wind Turbine and you will never have a flat battery again. An alternative to a solar powered charger, HYmini is a small, handheld, waterproof charger and wind powered generator that charges mobile phones, iPods and most portable electronic devices.

“Stylish in appearance but rugged in performance, it charges by wind or rechargeable internal battery and is the must have accessory this year when on the go – it has a huge advantage over traditional solar chargers as it can be left to charge over a windy night, constantly gathering energy from either a light breeze to a strong wind” adds Nigel.

Let There Be Light

Another eco gadget that makes life a lot easier when camping is the ingenious Sun Jar Solar Light – it may look like a jam jar, but it’s jammed full of solar cells, batteries and LEDs so that it sucks in the sun’s rays all day and give them back at night. :Just leave it charging in the Sun during the day so it can glow automatically when it gets dark” he says.

Let There Be More Light

No camping trip is complete without a torch - PowerPlus Dolphin Wind Up LED Torch will solve the problem of running out of batteries at the worst possible time. Just 60 seconds of winding will produce 30 minutes of light and the added bonus is it can be used as a mobile phone charger too.

Let There Be Sound

“And while you are at it, wind down with a wind up radio such as EyeMax wind up LED Solar Radio that will give you music wherever and whenever you want. It plays for 35 minutes at normal volume for each 30 second wind but if left in direct sunlight, the EyeMax will charge itself using a built in solar panel and play without winding. What’s more, it has a built in flashlight too” Nigel adds.
