Use Fire To Charge Your Phone While Camping

Have you ever been on a camping trip with your family or friends and had a GPS or cell phone die on you? Well without wasting the battery on your car, or wasting the gas to charge up the alternator, you can grab some kindling wood, light it right up, and charge your phone on fire alone.

Now don’t go thinking that if you throw your phone right into the fire, it will come out fully charged; I’m talking about an amazingly revolutionary device known as the BioLite Camp Stove. Put some sticks in the “Fire Basket”, light it up, and watch it burn! All while charging your USB devices.

If you’re in any way familiar with the green movement in the United States (No, it’s not new, it’s been around for decades, think back to the 60’s moving forward), you’ll know that energy is all around us and in everything that we do. So when you go camping and light that raging bonfire, think of this; you could most likely power a small house on the energy expended from your raging fire! So why not embrace that energy and charge all of your ever-so-modern electronics with all of that wasted energy? Well, - the goal of BioLite is to do just that.

The bottom line here is that when you decide to go trudging up into the mountains or into the woods for your camping trip with your house strapped to your back, I would highly suggest bringing this handy little contraption with you! God forbid that you get lost and your GPS dies, just plug it right in while you’re roasting your marshmallows.

Is your phone your only camera? You wouldn’t want to miss out on those incredible shots at the hand of your phone battery, just light yourself a cozy little fire, and charge it up.

The BioLite Camping Stove can be pre-ordered today at the very reasonable cost of $130. I don’t know about you, but I live in Colorado, and camping in the mountains can be a scary thing if you venture too far. However with this device in my backpack, I’ll be able to go even further with a GPS with the peace of mind that I’m sure to have power.
