Capture your adventure in DVD-quality MP2. It records to SDHC, is water- and shockproof and has electronic image stabilisation to take the judders out. Don’t miss out on the action because you’re worried about your camcorder getting wet.

Victorinox SwissCard, £15

This is the perfect wallet accessory for those on walkabout, featuring among other things a blade, screwdriver, pen and micro scissors. Now there’s no excuse for having overgrown toenails poking out of those Teva sandals.

A SiRFstarIII Bluetooth GPS receiver that’ll wirelessly equip laptops, PDAs and phones with full sat-nav capabilities. Perfect for finding yourself.

LED-Lenser V8 Turbo torch, £9
