Inventing stuff to save you money

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
I took my smartphone and put it into my bum bag with the bottom half of the smartphone. I had a string to fix it.

Smartphone light on! And with this I went before sunrise on several days (in the woods or without moon. Meseta and just moonlight is more fun, of course).

Advantage: No additional weight, no additional cost.
Disadvantage: I had to take off the string and take the smartphone out of the bumbag each time if I want to look at the map. Afterwards I had to fix it again.
 
Holoholo automatically captures your footpaths, places, photos, and journals.
Good suggestion, but some of us have hair!

I made a point of being last up and last to leave every morning. There's no danger of me staggering around at 5am.. :p
