Millions are prepping for a road trip this Labor Day long weekend, or at some point this fall season, many of whom will be heading out on a camping excursion.

Just don’t forget to pack some tech for your travels.

Oh, sure, some might think it silly to bring electronics while basking in the serenity of the Great Outdoors, but the right gear can in fact enrich and enhance your time spent off the grid with friends or family.

Whether you call it “glamping” (glamorous camping), “pamping” (pampered camping) or simply bringing along a few comforts of home, technology can help keep you safe, entertained and in touch with the outside world, should you need it.

The following is a knapsack full of ideas to tote along to your next camping trip, music festival, remote cabin or RV park.

Clean dream

Even the most seasoned outdoors person can appreciate a hot shower in the middle of the wilderness.

Joolca’s HOTTAP V2 Essentials Portable Hot Water Kit (from $299) can give you that shower, with more than 15 hours of run time on a single gas tank, via its 37,500-BTU burner (with 1.6GPM of flow for ample pressure).

Note: If you don’t have a pressurized water source at your camping site, be aware you’ll need a pump, sold separately, to bring water in from a river or lake.

Alternatively, Joolca offers an Outing Kit, for $419, which houses both the hot water kit and 12-volt pump. The two-stage filter will remove most everything from the water source and is durable enough to be thrown into shallow rivers and creeks.

Billed as the world’s smallest water heater in its class, HOTTAP V2 Essentials also includes a magnetic shower head that affixes to any metal surface, or consider Joolca’s Ensuite Double Camping Shower Tent ($189), which gives you some privacy while bathing (with a changing area, too).

Gimme shelter

The 6-person Coleman Skydome Camping Tent ($179.99) features “dark room” technology that blocks out 90% of sunlight compared to a comparable Coleman tent, says the company, which helps to keep the tent cooler, and also lets you sleep in past sunrise.
