Exploring the outdoors also means facing its various elements. The weather could change in an instant. You could have not foreseen that you might cross a river in your trek. The waves during your sea travel could be wilder than usual. A smart traveler would have thought about it. Thus, he or she would keep a bag as well that would protect some important belongings that couldn’t be soaked and exposed to these elements. This is what makes a waterproof dry bag necessary.
Make sure though that the size of the dry bag that you’ll bring would be good enough to store all your valuable belongings that you’d take with you on your trip.

Waterproof case for Phone
Admit it: we couldn’t just keep our phones off our hands during our trips as it serve us in so many ways. We take pictures with it; use it as a navigator; sometimes a flashlight or whatever purpose it may serve. Doing so, however, makes it prone to dust, dirt, sand and water exposure. To keep yourself off from pulling it in and out from your pocket or bag, a waterproof case for phone becomes necessary. Regardless of the element you are in, your phone will be protected from sand, dirt, dust or water splashes.
Flashlight
If you love to explore the outdoors day and night, a handy, durable and weather-proof flashlight is necessary. Having one would allow you to navigate in the dark especially if you do not have other source of light in your camping area. Also, this would help you check if there are impending dangers around the vicinty.
Dry-fast Microfiber towel
While towels are necessary for all types of outdoor activities, you often hate how bulky they are in your travel pack. Gladly, there are microfiber towels that you may switch into. More than just its space-saving and lightweight nature, the dry fast feature makes it less hassle for you to pack it in your bag even after few minutes of using it.
Apart from drying your skin, you may also use microfiber towels as another layer to protect you from the cold weather. Packing light, achieved!
Reusable Water Bottle
Bringing a reusable water bottle for your outdoor adventures is a must and smart in many ways as well. First, it’s sustainable as you need not to drink from single-use plastic water bottles. Second, you can save some bucks since you can just have it refilled from available drinking water sources instead of buying. Lastly, should you be on a long trail or stuck in a place with no water source, you at least have something to keep you hydrated.
