In the modern world, portable chargers have become almost as essential to your enjoyment of the outdoors as flashlights and camping hammocks. John Muir famously went into the mountains with little more than his notebook “and a childlike sense of wonder”; he didn’t need a charger.
Today, seemingly everybody brings at least a smartphone into the backcountry, and plenty of people bring more. DSLR cameras; iPads; in some cases laptops. So we put together a list of the best portable chargers for the outdoors to make sure your gear stays charged for your next adventure.
MPOWERD Luci Solar Inflatable Base Light – ($45.00)
Which of these is not like the others? The MPOWERED Luci Solar Inflatable Base Light is not a dedicated charger, nor is it a high-wattage solar power source. It’s a light. A light that sits flat for transport and then you can inflate to make into a lantern capable of throwing off up to 360 Lumens (read: night becomes day). A lantern that can fully recharge its 4000 mAh lithium battery from either an outlet or the sun with a USB port.
