If you are one of those people who insist on taking your iPod or cell phone on the hiking trails then you may want to consider hooking up with the Solarpod from Highgear.
The Solarpod can be hooked on your backpack to soak up the sun. When you arrive at camp for the night you can plug your iPod in for a recharge.
It is available at REI for $50 and will soon hit the rest of the outdoor stores.
