We're used to thinking about GPS in terms of navigating on land. The SkyScout uses it for the heavens. Point this little device at some stars and it'll give you a text and audio description of the constellation - its name, history, mythology, and more. The built-in field guide contains astronomy lessons, night sky tours, biographies, and guides to comets, and the device is easy enough for kids to use.
Sea to Summit eVent Compression Dry Sack (2007)
How high-tech can compression sacks get? Very.

This 20-degree, 3-season sleeping bag won Backpacker Magazine's Gold Award, which basically means it has joined the hall of fame because it's so good.
