Who says bigger is better? Savvy hoteliers around the world are perfecting the concept of the space-saving Japanese capsule hotel. Check out these pocket-sized pods - just pack light or you might need to reserve a separate room for your suitcase. Snooze in the Airport It's possible to sneak a nap while waiting in the airport, but why use your backpack as a pillow when you can take a first-class nap at economy prices? Yotel England is located inside England's Gatwick airport, tucked away in the south terminal's international arrivals section. Their concept is simple - give travelers a place to rest or recuperate before the next leg of their journey. The only rule is you must book your room for at least four hours, but you're welcome to stay as long as you'd like. Yotel packs a lot into the 75 square feet that make up a standard room. There's a single bed, a foldout desk and a bathroom with shower. Premium cabins boast an additional 32 square feet and a double bed. All rooms offer the... See less

Adjoining the recently widened (for military vehicles) Dekyi Shar Lam (Ch: Beijing Donglu), lies the holy centre of Lhasa. The Barkhor area surrounding the Jokhang is the last remnant of Tibetaness in Lhasa, and it is fast disappearing. The frequently remodelled Barkhor Square, levelled in the early 1980s, is another open area designed to assist Chinese suppression of any displays of Tibetan nationalism. Both the Square, and the kora streets surrounding the Jokhang, are constantly monitored by video surveillance cameras and numerous security personnel - both uniformed and otherwise. This is the location of the majority of freedom demonstrations by Tibetans - from individuals or small groups chanting independence slogans, to the full-scale mass protests that happened in the late 1980s. Much blood has been shed here, but the original cobblestone paving that witnessed such times, has now been replaced with shiny granite slabs. See less

Compared with other solar chargers on the market this is the best yet. Lighter and thinner than others is just the start. With a addition of a powerful LED torch, insect sonic repellent and a on/off switch this is excellent. The build quality is very noticeable feeling quite solid with good secure cable connections, which is very important and has been lacking on other solar product which I have had in the past. Compared with other solar chargers this has similar basic features; charging by sun light or USB cable plus many popular charging connectors. The only issue I have found with the solar charger is the lack of some popular adapters, however these have been replaced with some very good new device adaptors like the ipod changing adaptor.

Let friends and family know exactly where you are in the world and that everything's going swimmingly. Designed as a serious piece of rescue kit this Spot GPS has (as well as serious emergency location broadcasting) some deeply fun features. Before you set off on your adventures you set up email addresses and telephone numbers* that you want to be contacted in an emergency, or if you just want to let your loved ones know where you are and that you're ok. At the click of the OK button the device will send an email (and a text if you have selected that option) to your chosen addresses. Not only will it contain your message, but also a link to Google Maps showing exactly where in the world you are! How cool is that? And you can even set the gizmo up to automatically send a location message every 10 minutes (useful for nervous parents who want to make sure little Billy and Mary are ok). On the serious side it also uses GPS satellites to track your coordinates and at the click of the... See less

The feeling of being squeaky clean and freshly showered is often a much desired but scarcely achieved goal when tramping about in the great outdoors. Wet wipes do a barely tolerable job, take up way too much space, are un-environmentally friendly, and, well I don't know about you, but trying to wash with a pint sized wet tissue designed for a babies' bottom is far from satisfactory in my opinion. Well the distant dream of being able to have a proper shower in the middle of nowhere is now a reality thanks to the pocket shower. This tiny gizmo unfolds to reveal a high performance waterproof reservoir that holds a mighty ten litres of water. The black fabric will (given a sunny day) warm the water up in no time. You just string it up to a tree and open up the attached shower head - hey presto, you can now luxuriate in a seven minute shower, get squeaky clean, and gloat at the wet wiped masses, and it packs up into a neat package smaller than your fist.

Picture this: you are out boating with a friend, when suddenly you see a woman get trapped in branches of a fallen tree. She is struggling to survive, but the water is rough and risky to swim in. But you are wearing your SurvivalStraps Survival Bracelet, which you quickly unravel into 14' of paracord. You hold one end and give your friend the other. A quick swim to the trapped woman and you have her in your arms. Your friend then helps haul you in by pulling the paracord. It might sound like fiction, but the above is a true story. A life saved because of a SurvivalStraps Survival Bracelet (great job, Mike Harper). See less
