Must! Resist! H2O!

Alright, here’s the scenario.

You’re camping with your kids and surprise, surprise, a rainstorm rolls in. Luckily, you have a nice-sized tent that’s not letting in any water. Or mostly not letting in any water. Of course, it is basically a large bag you’ve set on the ground, not a structure with insulation and a foundation and whatnot. So, it’s going to get a bit damp in there no matter what.

Not to mention the humidity. Not to mention the water bottle placed down on a particular bit of uneven ground. Not to mention–

Well, you get the point. You and the family aren’t as soaked as you would be outside, but there is some water risk.

So, what do you do?

Maybe play a game? Maybe talk? Maybe read books or just listen to the rain come down, waiting for it to clear?

There exists a school of thought that would say this is the way to go. And probably, it’s correct. After all, the situation provides an opportunity for enrichment. Dealing with disappointment and freeing oneself from the snares of boredom without, say, turning to a device for solace–these are important lessons one must learn!

And yet…

You’re in that tent too. Thus, when your kids fail to learn patience and decide the best device-free boredom cure involves yelling and punching, that’s not their problem. It’s yours.

So maybe instead of looking for a way to turn life’s lemons into lemonade, just take out your phone or your tablet, set it up in a dry corner of your tent, and put on a movie until the sky clears.

Then, if the battery gets low, hook up to one of these for a recharge. They each have a USB-A port and a USB-C port, 5000mAh of battery life, and feature a clip design so they’re easy to take with you. But most importantly, they can get a little wet.

Which makes them perfect for this scenario, and also a whole bunch of other scenarios too.

So buy them. They’re pretty cheap and pretty useful!
