An Indoor/Outdoor Battery Light!

Everyone seems to have their own ideas on the gear, tools, or supplies needed for outdoor activities. Some items are activity specific but others are not. If possible, I would think a smart person would select items based on multi-purpose functionality, or  ones that could be used for several different outdoor purposes/activities?

Most outdoor activities can be divided into common tasks such as fire, shelter, protection, navigation and food/water. Among the gear/tools to provide or perform these common tasks would include fire starter, tents/stoves/sleeping gear/lighting, mace, GPS, cooking stoves/water decontamination, etc. As an example,  buy a stove or shelter that would be appropriate for all of your outdoor activities or a lantern that could provide lighting both indoors and outdoors.

As a result of and considering that storage is such a luxury,  both thought and common sense should be applied when purchasing your outdoor activity gear, tools and supplies. Otherwise, you’ll realize unneeded duplication and an eventual loss of storage space.
