Are you planning an outdoor adventure for yourself and your friends and want to make it a safe one? Are you not sure what gear you should have to take with you? I have a few great suggestions that I think are necessary when going on any outdoor trip.

First thing that I would bring of course would be the basics like water, food, and a first aide kit, but if you really want to be prepared for anything I recommend that you think about something that can be used again and again even in your everyday routine. The Garmin Rino 530 GPS system, a GPS/two-way radio that has a 14-mile communication range is great for any outdoor adventure. This way if you have two of the Garmin Rino 530 GPS Navigators and someone ends up hurt and the other one needs to get help the two people can still keep in touch as well as be able to map the hurt persons location.

Sure there are less expensive Navigational systems that you could buy, but they most likely won't have the quality that the Garmin Rino 530 has. The Rino 530 also comes with a built in electronic compass, barometric altimeter, and NOAA weather receiver making it great for the outdoor fanatic. This way when you are out biking the great outdoors you can keep track of the useful things like weather conditions, and also keep track of which way you are traveling.

After all deliberation if you still don't want to spend that much money on a Navigational system then there are other Navigational systems out there with just your basics that are cheaper. Like the Garmin eTrex series that has the electric compass, is waterproof up to 1 meter, and has reverse track log to help you find your way to the camp.
