Solar Powered Drinks Bottle?

Fancy some time in The Great Outdoors? There is nothing like slinging on a backpack and jumping out to head off on the trail. In the good old days there used to be nothing more than a pack, a few essentials and you against the travails of Nature and her beasts. Occasionally this meant that you would have a run in with some wildlife if you were terribly unlucky. If you were extra clever about it, you would make sure that you either built a nice fire that was manageable, or packed  a torch that you could leave on into the early hours, just for tat extra bit of safety.

If you know what we are talking about, then prepare to be amazed by the latest gadget to make camping and trekking even safer and easier. You can now buy a bottle cap that can be used to illuminate your drinks bottle. At night, this is and absolute godsend, with all of those nasty critters kept well and truly at bay by the lovely and quite bright light that the gadget gives off.

And the best thing about it? Well, this thing does not take batteries. In the spirit of sustainability and eco living, the LightCap 200 is completely powered by solar energy. All you have to do is allow it get lots of those lovely rays during the day time, and then watch it glow all through the night. It weighs just over two ounces and is one hundred per cent waterproof.

So the next time you head out on the trail with your friends, bring a little bit of sustainability with you. We like it because it means no fiddling about with batteries, and the healthy glow that it gives off makes that long dark camping night just a  little bit, well…safer.
