BioLite CampStove – Keeps you Warm and Recharges your Gadgets

Camping. Back to nature. Just you, the wilderness and your essential gadgets. You could take a solar charger with you or just go without. How about a camp stove that will recharge your tech though?

If you are as accident-prone as me then having a way of contacting help is needed at most times. True, when you go camping it’s good to cut off from emails, Facebook, Twitter, etc but having a phone is darned handy.

Perhaps recharging my tech gear using fire isn’t ideal for my accident attraction but camping is one of those areas that if your equipment can perform more than one task then all the better. Swiss Army knife anyone?

True, you could rock a Ralph Lauren solar backpack or even plug into a solar bikini (both are real!) but utilising your camp stove makes more sense.

The BioLite CampStove is a small bit of genius. It will efficiently heat you and your food using only tiny twigs as fuel.

It maximizes efficiency by using a teensy bit of electricity to power a fan, which makes the fire burn better.

This is not only great for boiling water and cooking meals it also means that there is enough go-juice left over to power your USB gadgets.

The BioLite CampStove is $129 which isn’t bad when you look at the price of camping gear these days and you’re also upping your green cred by using renewable resources for fuel instead of petroleum.

That means you’re reducing your carbon footprint. You’ll also keep fuel canisters out of the landfill.
