Power Me Up...

This years Outdoor Retailer trade show brought us some cool new products. Some of the most popular items were the Black Diamond Z Pole, a three section foldable trekking pole, and the Klymit Inertia X Frame Pad...



Personally I think one of the greatest products to come from this years OR trade show was the nPower PEG. This light weight product captures and stores kinetic energy while you hike by using the up and down motion of a magnetically active mass that passes through a conductive loop. As you hike the nPower captures the energy, allowing you to charge your GPS, iPod or any other electronic device.



I will probably snag one of these before my next solo trip...you never know when the GPS will run out of power.
