The new LiFePO4 chemistry battery is rated for 4,000 charge cycles (about 10 years of average use) and there’s a new high amp output (30 A) for tying into van and overlanding setups. Goal Zero also engineered it to be able to handle the high vibration environment of off-roading. With 4 AC outlets and USB charging at up to 140 watts, the Yeti 1500 can keep your wired world running for well over a week, no grid required.Garmin Inreach Mini 3 Plus for $450 ($50 off)REIYes your phone has some features of a dedicated satellite messenger, but we still think you’re better off with a dedicated device. Garmin’snew inReach Mini 3 now offers some of those phone features—like voice and photo messaging—along with the emergency features and excellent service world wide. It’s also still tiny, well built and it has great battery life. The cheaperGarmin Inreach Mini 3(which does not have the new photo sharing features) is also on sale for $400 ($50 off).Garmin Instinct 3 Solar - Tactical Edition for $400 ($100 off)REIThe Garmin Instinct Solar isour favorite rugged and affordable outdoor watchpowered by the sun. It has long battery life and yes, recharges any time it’s in the sun. GPS is enabled and there’s tons of sports tracking and navigation features. It’s cheaper than a Fenix and just as reliable.Courtesy of ColemanColeman Cascade 3-in-1 Camp Stove for $206 ($69 off)REIMy favorite of Coleman’s current lineup, the Cascade 3-in-1 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) features heavy-duty cast iron grates, comes with a cast-iron griddle and grill, and can fit a 12-inch pan and a 10-inch pan side by side. It’s sturdier and all-around more robust than other Coleman stoves, well worth the extra money if you’reserious about camp cooking. That said, the much cheaper stove below will get you by if you’re only using it a few nights a year.Coleman Cascade Classic Camp Stove for $98 ($32 off)REIThis isour favorite camp stovefor most people. Technically this version is a little fancier than our top pick, with electronic ignition and a nice pale green paint job. Is it worth an extra $30? That’s up to you. If it’s not, snag the less fancy version for$59 at Walmart.REI Co-op Flexlite Air Chair for $75 ($25 off)REIThe thing to keep in mind when you shop REI brand gear is the company’s basic proposition: you get 90 percent of the designer item for 70 percent of the price. It’s a strategy that works quite well and has generated some really great, affordable gear. This chair is a good example of that. It’s not as nice as the Nemo above, but it’s still comfortable (it does wobble a little, side to side when you move) and nearly half the price.Photograph: Scott GilbertsonSilky F180 Folding Hand Saw for $34 ($9 off)REIWhenever I can, I like tocook over open flame using my firebox stove, which often means cutting wood. The best portable saw I’ve found is this Silky folding saw. It’s light enough to bring bike packing (5.3 ounces), and it folds down to about 9 inches long, which slips in a pannier no problem. This thing is razor sharp though, be careful when using it in the backcountry.Petzl Tikka Headlamp for $28 ($7 off)REIPetzl’s Tikka headlamp isone o
