New tech gear for hikers

[Daddee]

How about a photovotaic backpack.

Or a Nike jacket pre-wired for communicators.

Nuclear powered boots are just around the corner!

Actually I think the concept of that backpack is pretty cool. As someone who can often carry quite a few different devices (like say a digital camera, GPS, radio, and several lights if there is a cave anywhere in the area to explore), the possibility of having what amounts to a mobil, enviromentally safe generator on my back rather than carrying a large number of batteries is great. Heck, just being able to recharge the camera rather than having to buy a couple spare Sony batteries ($85 a pop) is a nice idea. Too bad the bag sucks for camping use though. BUT... they do sell the components separately.... Hmmm.. do I hear a new home made project calling to me?
