Electronic gadgets for life Outdoor

February 12, 2018

If you want to be prepared, connected, enlightened, nurtured and located in your adventures, these are the 5 gadgets that will give you the best service.


I will present to you 5 gadgets of the last I've tried (well almost all except the Petzl NAO + front). They are the ones that have most impressed me.


[1] Nutribullet blender: nutrition shots in one minute.

A blender specially designed for those who need nutrition to be an important part of their training (such as trail runners, cyclists, cross-country skiers, etc.). The Nutribullet has a special blade design that at 20,000 revolutions crushes in just 30 seconds, fresh fruits and vegetables, including stems, seeds and nuts. The blades break the cell walls of fibrous plant foods, thus releasing all the vitamins and minerals they contain. In this way, the food keeps its nutritional value intact and our organism can absorb it more easily. I tried this blender making a spinach, pear, persimmon persimmon, raspberries, blueberries, goji berries, flax seeds and water shake. In less than a minute I took a very tasty "detox", even at room temperature, very soft, and that satiated me hungry and thirsty instantly.

[2] CAT S60 mobile: The strongest mobile in Outdoor.

I have tested this terminal and I can assure that it resists the unspeakable. Blows, vibrations and falls from almost 2 meters. The CAT S60 is hermetic and resistant to dust, snow and submersible up to 5 meters. One of the functions that differentiate it from the rest is its thermal camera that allows to take amazing images in the middle of the night. Among its most important applications are the Location Alert, which sends distress messages with location in case of emergency; and the App Toolbox, where you can find specialized applications such as altimeter, Climbing Grades Table for climbers, MapMyRide for cyclists or Sail Racer or Boat Coach for sailors. Recommended RRP of € 769.

[3] Radio Sangean MMR-88: The radio receiver of the base camp.

Built to withstand what is needed in any adventure, this radio has seven weather channels through the NOAA band, which translates into warnings, forecasts and alerts, in addition to 19 random pre-defined stations (AM / FM mixed). It has indefinite autonomy because it can be loaded with crank and dynamo, charged alone and charged by USB. It also has a LED flashlight adjustable to 3 intensities, with SOS signal function. To which it is necessary to add automatic search of transmitters; automatic disconnection at 90 minutes of activity, clock, LED charging indicator and headphone output, in addition to offering emergency acoustic warnings. In the MMR-88 you can also listen to conventional radio. If the programming is not good it can be attached to any multimedia player and play the music that the adventurers want. RRP: 99 euros.

[4] Petzl NAO + Flashlight: The smart front.

This headlamp can be programmable through an application and can be consulted in real time on the mobile thanks to the bluetooth connection. This way you can better manage the autonomy of the flashlight and adapt its use to the conditions. The application also has predefined profiles or can be customized for the needs of the user. As if that were not enough, the NAO + incorporates the Reactive Lighting technology through which it adapts the lighting power to the ambient luminosity, thus saving energy. With this technology one can do a night trekking without being worried about how much autonomy it has. The flashlight can give a power of 750 lumens.

[5] GPS onTracks: the browser that warns before being consulted.

When you are in the middle of a Mountain Bike or trail running route and you come to an intersection where you are not sure of the route to follow, you should check the GPS or the map. OnTracks warns through vibrations and light signals of the way to go before reaching the intersection, thus preventing the activity from being interrupted. OnTracks are two wristbands that are worn in both hands and have a screen for light signal and vibration device, connected to the mobile. When it is necessary to turn to the right it vibrates and the right bracelet is illuminated and vice versa.
