5. Fenix HM71R Headlamp

Rechargeable, ultra-bright (up to 2700 lumens!), and magnetic for hands-free use around camp. Smart brightness sensors adapt to your environment.

6. Thermacell EX90 Mosquito Repeller

Creates a scent-free, portable 20-foot zone of bug protection — no spray, no DEET. Game-changer for summer nights in buggy zones.
