Don’t just explore the wilderness, survive it. When straying off the beaten path, it pays to have all the gear that lets you push your limits and then some. Check out some of our survival essentials and amp up your travels plans this summer. Move over Bear Grylls: it’s time to get wild. 

Reckon you’re heading out there without these essentials? Think again. Wild destinations call for the best protection, and we’re not just talking about a sunscreen slathered look that needs some serious paper-towel attention. Here are a few pieces we never leave without, signature sunglasses included.

It’s all about that H20. Whether you’re pushing your body to its limits or just soaking it up in the wilderness, you’ve got to hydrate before you activate and stay that way all day long. But don’t let that stop you; check out our hydration faves that mean you can get as wild as you want, far off the beaten path.  

You’ll need more than that old map and compass where you’re going. It’s time to get smart with the best tech around (and take any chance you get to accessorise). Look the part with serious multi-tools, watches, GPS and powerbanks. How else will you make everyone wish they were you?
