- Solar power kit: For all the times when you need to charge up your electronics but there isn’t a single point in sight.
- Drybag: A dry bag effectively keeps your important belongings dry even in heavy downpour. Make sure you put all the important documentation in dry bags before you decide to take a shower under the waterfall.

- Travel clothesline: Apart from drying clothes, a travel clothesline also helps you get a little privacy in shared rooms.

- Door alarm: When travelling to lesser known places, it is best to carry and install a door alarm to be on the safer side, literally. Find a great one here.
- Survival whistle: Carry a survival whistle if you intend to drop off the grid in your quest to fulfil your wanderlust.
