It's a smart idea to bring a portable charger if you are going to be out of an outlet for a long time while on your hunt. They can help charge your phone, tablets, Nintendo Switch consoles and other electronics on the go.
Portable chargers are capable of charging your device many times before you have to plug it in to an outlet. You can also charge multiple devices at once with multiple output and input ports.
These chargers range in size and capacity, so it's important to consider your needs and the type of devices you want to charge when choosing the right portable charger for your hunting trip. A smaller portable charger may be better if you are a whitetail hunter who spends a lot of time out in the woods.
However, a solar-powered charger might work better for fishermen or kayakers who spend most of their time on the water. Regardless of your preference, a portable charger can make your hunt more enjoyable and easier by charging your electronics.

How to Navigate With or Without a Compass?
Although a compass does not tell you where you're going, it can help you get back to your home in case you lose your bearings.
Three different ways you can navigate are available:
-
By landmarks
-
By magnetic North (using a compass)
-
By stars
These are objects you recognize immediately when you come across them. These can be trees, buildings, rivers, and so on. Because they give you a visual clue about where you are, landmarks are very useful.
Magnetic North is simply where the Earth's electromagnetic field points. When you look up at the sky, you'll notice that the sun appears to be moving across the sky. However, the earth's magnetic field actually causes the sun to move around the earth. While it may appear that the sun moves across the sky, in fact, the sun actually moves around its horizon. At noon, it is directly overhead. The sun is directly beneath you at midnight. Because the earth's magnet field is constantly changing, the exact position of the magnetic North Pole changes every day. This means that your course could drift a lot in a single day.
Another way to navigate is with stars. Stars appear as if they rise and fall over the horizon. These are fixed points in time that you can use for determining your location relative others.
