Back in the days when we just got married, this beloved husband of mine proposed we learn how to kayak. I was so excited and took the challenge of venturing into uncharted waters, therefore we decided to take some kayak classes. Scuba diving and swimming I've tried it and had the pleasure of doing so. However, after our second session on Kayak 101, I realized I can't do it.I could not roll the boat when I flipped over and it sort of freaked me out at the idea of being under water upside down and not being able to right the boat.My husband, however took to it, well, no pun intended, as they say like a duck to water.
So, we took many kayaking trips on every river he could find - the more rapids, the more adrenaline rush. We agreed that when he goes on kayaking, all I have to do is drop him off and fetch him after a few hours at the end of the river. What we agreed was totally acceptable for me. While waiting in the car surrounded by the woods, I could read a book or just relax, or I could get out of the car, go hiking and observe the local animals and greeneries along the way.Because we worked it out this way, we could pack the car with lunch, clothes and equipment. He also loves taking pictures like I do, so we also brought our cameras with us, including chargers, batteries and all the accessories that we could bring!
During that time, he also convinced a friend of ours to join on his boat rides. This friend of ours as far as I know didn't like going out much. However, he thought that it was time to learn and try something new. He attended kayaking lessons and turned out to be good in what he does.On the first trip out, however, it was a different story.His boat flipped and he got trapped under the water in some branches and couldn't get out. Fortunately, my husband was there looking out for him. When our friend didn't resurface at once because the kayak was still upside down, he immediately went for his aid. Our friend was very thankful for my husband saving his life. If I may say so, the next day, he put his kayak up for sale. Back then, we had lots of fun outdoors, and as proof, we took pictures of the places we've gone to.
Through the years, our being an adventure-seeker has tamed and with technology, so much have changed. Kayaking is already out of the picture, however photography and hiking is still in. Before, when my husband and I went out for a hike, we always had our cameras with us and it was quite a handful because we brought everything - batteries, charger, all the camera accessories that we have. You might as well add on that list, cellular phones, Blackberry and other things because you can't leave the house without that at these times. Bringing additional batteries need not burden us anymore with what me and my husband acquired lately which is the most excellent piece of item.
We found a solar panel. It's lightweight and it's easy to keep. It can be used while riding on a kayak or trekking up the mountain range or even camping outside because it's water-resistant, resilient and manageable.This flexible solar panel can be used to charge cameras, cell phones, video cameras and even our cars. It's easy to put away and easy to bring along on our journeys. It would have been useful when we still had our kayaking trips, anyway, we've discovered other endeavors where we can put it to good use.This is one terrific invention!
