1. A cellphone with GPS capability along with directions
2. A trackstick to record my movements
3. A waterproof MP3 player
4. Solar Powered Headphones and so on

About.com has featured an article – Top 7 Travel Gifts for Men, which lists out the different gifts that men would prefer. Remember, all men are not geeks but all geeks are men . I am not sure how the writer came up with the list, whether a survey was conducted or maybe it’s just her intuition putting on a man’s suit. Some gifts listed in the article are Wi-Fi locator to locate Wi-Fi signals for internet, a TSA luggage lock which can be opened by a special key possessed by the TSA, and the rest of the gift ideas are nothing but useless items that no man would like to be presented with. Maybe the writer should have done some research before publishing the article.

If you have any suggestions for gifts for men especially, share it with us.

* Make a dream come true
* Do something that most people will never do, but will wish they had done.
* Make a break from the rat race.
* See how varied and different the world really is – and how similar all of us people in it really are.
* To live or retire somewhere new.

He interestingly brings out one point at the end which encompasses all the above listed points – Because you want to. It is true that travel should be a byproduct of desire and not of compulsion.

Should You Travel?

When you are out in the woods and if you have run out of matches, you could probably try lighting up the wood using a condom and some water. Water filled inside a condom acts as lens which can concentrate sun rays onto a particular spot to light fire. This video should give you a pretty good illustration:

Suppose you get hurt while camping and you need to protect the wound from infections. Condoms would be your answer. The following video shows you how a condom could be used in keeping the water away from wounds.
