Electronics have improved every other aspect of our daily lives, so why should our outdoor activities be any different? We have gadgets & electronics that can make your outdoor adventures safer, more rewarding, and more fun. With our electronics gear you can stay connected in remote areas; get weather data for your location and be alerted to impending severe weather; view maps, routes and points of interest and log where you’ve been; monitor personal data like your heart rate, blood pressure and distance walked; find hidden valuables; enjoy hours of amusement with the latest toys; and photograph and film your activities so you can share them with family and friends. Browse our digital shelves for the electronic products that will enhance your active lifestyle. Even if you cherish your time in nature as a way to temporarily escape from technology and the modern world, we’re sure you’ll find a gadget or 2 you just can’t do without.
In this era of perpetual connectedness, it can be disconcerting when there’s no cellular service in the area and your smart phone is useless. With one of our 2-way radios, you can stay in touch when camping or hiking in remote areas. These radios are invaluable for emergency communication, and some have as many as 22 channels with ranges of up to 40 miles, with features like weather alerts, waterproof construction, and rechargeable battery packs. If you need greater range and are communicating almost exclusively outdoors in unobstructed areas, like out on the water, one of our hand-held VHF radios may be a better choice. They’re just as rugged as our 2-way radios and some even float, so you won’t lose your radio if it’s dropped overboard. Many VHF radios are equipped with Digital Selective Calling (DSC) which, in conjunction with the unit’s built-in GPS, automatically relays your vessel’s position when you send out a distress signal.
Even when you’re in the middle of nowhere, you’ll always know where you are and where you’re headed with one our hand-held GPS units, whether you’re seeking a new destination or just want to be able to go back the way you came. We have units specially designed for hiking and outdoor use that will enable you to navigate by map or compass, create waypoints and routes and locate points of interest, record and access saved track logs, and download geocaches. We also offer many GPS accessories including cases, holsters and belt clips, backpack tethers, mounts, and additional batteries.
Whether you’re outdoors or inside a building, being aware of impending dangerous weather conditions like tornadoes and extreme thunderstorms can save your life, and we have the weather radios to give you warning, including weather alert radios that will provide a warning when the unit receives an emergency alert, even if it’s not turned on or tuned to a weather station. We have models with multiple power sources – rechargeable battery, solar, and even hand crank – for true emergency preparedness. Plus, we have comprehensive weather stations with integrated sensor suites containing a rain collector and temperature, humidity, solar radiation, UV, and wind speed sensors that can transmit data wirelessly to a console/receiver, and pocket-size wind and weather meters that can measure wind speed, maximum wind gust, temperature, humidity, wind chill, and dew point.
Whether you’re cascading down the rapids in a whitewater kayak, traversing a set of moguls on skis, or getting airborne with your mountain bike over rough terrain, you can preserve the experience with one of our action cameras. We have cameras in many different shapes and sizes that are ideal for many outdoor activities including biking, surfing, skiing, and snowboarding. Our action cams deliver sharp video, and many are waterproof and have built-in Wi-Fi for sharing footage. Of course, we also have an extensive selection of the required mounts, so your camera can capture all the action, including head, chest, shoulder, and wrist mounts, and mounts that can be used to attach the camera to helmets, bicycles, motorcycles, drones, surfboards, skateboards, dashboards and much more. Here you’ll also find action cam accessories like waterproof cases and audio adapter and microphone kits.
In addition to action cams, our digital shelves are also packed with many other types of video and still cameras. We have sophisticated digital SLR cameras, traditional film cameras, compact, easy to use point & shoot cameras, and camcorders including models with built-in Wi-Fi. All the related camera accessories are here too including fixed, wide angle, zoom, and telephoto lenses, lens hoods and filters, electronic flashes and video lights, microphones, camera and camcorder batteries and chargers, memory cards and flash drives, camera mounts, stands, and tripods, and camera cases and bags. Trail cameras are used by hunters for game surveillance. With their use hunters can determine the type and number of game animals in a specific area. This helps in deciding whether to hunt there and where equipment like tree stands or blinds should be set up. Trail cameras are motion activated and most are camouflaged to blend in with the terrain, like the bark on a tree.
Hours of fun for all ages can be had with selections from our RC (Radio Controlled) electronics department. Here you’ll find replicas of popular road cars and trucks, monster trucks and rock crawlers, and short course trucks and buggies in sizes from 1/24 to 1/6 scale; RC helicopters and boats; and of course, RC drones, many that come complete with HD cameras. RC toys come fully assembled and in kits, and with and without controllers and batteries and charger. Along with RC vehicles we also offer an assortment of RC parts including controllers, batteries, body parts, engine, transmission, and suspension parts, and wheels and tires, and scale accessories like winches, jerry cans, hi-lift jacks, and more so you can make repairs and customize your RC machine. When you’re working on small scale machines often regular tools won’t cut it, but you’ll have no problems wrenching your RC vehicle when you use our RC tools. We offer hex drivers, nut drivers, wrenches, and tool sets. And you’ll be able to haul all your RC gear in our specially designed RC toy backpacks and bags.
Getting in shape and staying physically fit is why many people get outdoors, running, jogging, or just walking. We have the gadgets that will help you monitor your daily progress and vital signs including fitness and activity trackers, sports/fitness watches, and heart rate and blood pressure monitors. But if you like your outdoor recreation at a somewhat slower pace, we haven’t forgotten you. A metal detector is a great way to get outdoors, get some exercise, and maybe find some buried treasure! We have an array of detectors along with accessories like headphones and carrying bags. When you need power for electronic devices like smartphones, we have power banks in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and mAh ratings, plus we have the bags and cases that are specially designed to safeguard your valuable electronics during transport including carriers for laptops, tablets, and cameras, as well as cell phone covers and waterproof cases.
