Make roughing it a little less rough by harnessing the power of the Sun to give your tent some juice. This solar-powered tent will provide you with 2 to 4 hours of light via the built-in LED lights after soaking up 4 to 6 hours of sunlight, allowing you to avoid nasty things like campfires and flashlights while you get ready to hunker down for the night. Unfortunately the energy harnessed is only for those lights, with no outlet for your laptop or iPod provided. Really, what's the point of going camping if you can't juice up your laptop? Just be careful to make sure all your food is put away tightly before you hop in the tent, lest your high-tech shelter becomes a beacon for bears. Half-assed outdoorsmanship can be yours in 4- or 6-person sizes for $162 and $198, respectively. — Adam Frucci
