Travel safety gadgets

In today's article, we have prepared a number of handy accessories and gadgets for you that will ensure a pleasant and uninterrupted experience during your stay in nature. So, whether you're heading out on a hike in the mountains, to a campsite, into the woods, or by the water, don't forget the helpers that will ensure unexpected events don't spoil your unique day.

1. Outsmart pesky insects

There's nothing more annoying than being ambushed by a mosquito without warning, forcing you to focus on itchy bumps instead of the beautiful nature. Luckily, we have a solution for you. If you want to avoid mosquitoes, especially at night, we recommend the MFH^® mosquito net for 1 bed, which will reliably protect you from unwanted visitors. The mosquito net is really light and easy to set up, so you don't have to worry about tedious assembling. Besides avoiding unpleasant bites, the mosquito net will help you avoid a number of diseases that insects carry. 

For protection against mosquitoes on the go, opt for the handheld mosquito repellent MR-300G Thermacell^®, which effectively covers an area of 21 m² and is an ideal companion for camping, hunting, or fishing. The mosquito repellent is sturdy, shockproof, and above all, practical. Plus, when using it, you will not be bothered by any noise or smell.

2. Beware of the sun

To tackle the hot summer outside, you need to be well-prepared. The choice of the ideal headgear is of course up to you, but just in case you are unsure, we have prepared a few tips for a great cap or hat. For demanding users, there is the Era Trucker Born for action PENTAGON^® cap, which can be adjusted to fit your needs. The cap is made up of 6 panels. The side and back panels are made of mesh, so your head won’t overheat on hot days. 

If you're more of a fan of hats, we have the Contractor TruSpec^® hat, which will protect you from excessive sunlight while providing some camouflage. Naturally, the size of the hat can be adjusted, and it features ventilation through brass eyelets. It also includes velcro patches and a unique hidden map pocket. You can complement your headgear with quality sunglasses that protect you from UV radiation and prevent fogging.

3. Not a step without water!

A safety water bottle is essential for successful hiking in the hot summer months. It can literally save your life if you run out of drinking water and are forced to rely on water from rivers, ponds, and pools, which can be full of harmful bacteria and heavy metals.

6. Discreet self-defense

How to ensure protection in case something goes wrong on a hike? If you’re a fan of action movies featuring John Wick, then you'll certainly appreciate the tactical pen UZI^® Defender model 7 Kubotan. This tactical pen is a discreet and effective way to defend yourself in dangerous situations. The pen can be used for striking on both ends and, besides that, its tip can shatter glass and other solid objects without compromising its writing ability. 

Other advantages include an exchangeable refill, a snap-on cap, and a sturdy clip. If you need to draw attention to yourself quickly, we recommend using personal alarms. Alarms are useful not only if you get lost but also for scaring away or alerting kidnappers/attackers. 

A compact and discreet item is also a defensive spray, for women, for instance, the one in the shape of a lipstick UV Sabre Red^®. It is a 3rd-generation defensive spray, effective at a distance of 2 meters and contains a total of 8 one-second doses. An added advantage is the built-in dye that remains on the attacker's skin and clothing for up to 48 hours after application.

The caseprovides 100% protection against water up to a depth of 5 meters. Another advantage is protection against dust or sand and the clear front layer of polyurethane, which allows you to operate your phone without any issues even in tough conditions.
