In our super-connected lives, it may be tempting, and even healthy, to leave our electronics at home from time to time in order to get in touch with mother nature. However, once you read about these four smartphone apps, you may never want to be parted from technology again.
1. Flashlight by iHandy (iPhone) and Brightest Flashlight Free® by GoldenShores Technologies, LLC (Android): Perfect for finding your way down a trail at dusk, illuminating a picnic that goes past sunset, and locating keys when dropped in the woods, these apps are a must-have for everyone who loves the great outdoors. With a simple push of a button, the LED flashlight on your phone makes a potential panic situation very manageable.
2. First Aid App by American Red Cross (iPhone & Android): Even if First Aid certified, a stressful situation can induce temporary forgetfulness when it comes to helping an injured friend. With the free First Aid app by American Red Cross, those in need will never be alone. Learn how to deal with everything from an asthma attack to a broken bone with this app’s extensive drop-down list of injuries and crises. Don’t waste your time searching the Internet for cures when someone is in trouble—find reliable information quickly with this app.
3. EveryTrail by GlobalMotion Media, Inc. (iPhone & Android): The “fastest-growing online community for GPS trip sharing,” EveryTrail lets you connect and share with other explorers so you will never run out of ideas for what to do next. It’s as easy as pulling out your phone to get hiking inspiration from the EveryTrail travel community.
4. Wild Edibles by Winter Root LLC (iPhone & Android): Never knowing how long an excursion could last or how hungry you might get, “Wildman” Steve Brill won’t let you starve with this foraging app. Look up nutritional and medicinal uses for plants you encounter, as well as recipes, photos, and tips for harvesting. This app will set you back $7.99, but if you get hungry enough in the woods, spending a few bucks will probably be better than eating a poisonous mushroom.
