Titanium is nothing less than a miracle metal, long known to be durable and stain resistant, but only recently “discovered” by designers and architects who need strong, lightweight substances in everything from airplanes to skyscrapers. Titanium fills the bill, due to its extremely high strength-to-weight ratio. A small piece of the metal can support many thousands of times its own weight. In camping and other outdoor activities, titanium has found its niche as the one of the most popular metals. In endurance sports, hiking, camping, and countless other activities, the wonder metal’s popularity continues to soar.
Some of the coolest gadgets and gizmos around are made from titanium. If you like to cook on your camping trips, consider buying a titanium, folding wood stove. These handy little items make it simple to fire up the grill when you are far away from the comforts of a real kitchen. If you want to keep your spending in the realm of sanity, that’s not a problem, since the stoves typically cost only around $50.
Titanium eating utensils should be the other addition to your outdoor cooking paraphernalia collection. Chopsticks, and even folding spoon-forks, are the two most commonly seen utensils out on the trail. They last for longer than you need them to, are almost indestructible, and will not hit you in the wallet, with standard prices in the under-$10 range.
If you are into the extreme sporting craze, or just like to do some wilderness camping every now and then, you need a safe, and dry, place to keep your valuables. That’s where titanium, again, comes in handy. The cash stash is a tube that screws together and will keep almost anything dry and safe, even on a rough river canoe trip, a mountain hike, or similarly “extreme” endeavors.
No camper should be without an all-in-one tool. Titanium all-in-ones come in a wide assortment of styles. Some are more adorned than others, but most consist of several screwdrivers, a punch, two or three pocketknives, a scissors, and numerous other permutations of tool-age. If you get an all-in-one that is made from titanium, you are buying a very handy device that will be with you for your entire life. No kidding. They have so many uses, you will be discovering new applications for your Titanium all-in-one tool for years to come. In fact, if you purchase only one titanium gadget for camping, or any outdoor activity, the all-in-one is probably the best way to spend a few dollars.
