When you pack a kit for outdoor activities such as camping or boating, you generally include things such as a first aid kit, food and water, and perhaps some other necessities such as a flashlight and spare batteries. Rather than weighing down your bags with the flashlight and batteries, why not look into the idea of bringing glow sticks instead?
Glow sticks have so many advantages and benefits that they are not useful for only outdoor activities. In fact, they are perfect for practically any event or situation. The most obvious advantage is that they are very easy to use. All you need to do to activate a glow stick is bend it, which should snap the little vial inside and release the chemicals. Once you have done that, you have a lighting source that lasts for twelve hours or even longer in some cases. When you see how easy glow sticks are to use, you realize how silly it was to haul around a clunky flashlight. Light sticks weigh very little, particularly in comparison to a flashlight; furthermore, they take up far less space than a flashlight does.
Of course, since glow sticks are inexpensive and don't require batteries, they are the cheapest lighting option for when you want to want to go on a camping trip or partake in any other outdoor activity. There is no need to worry about buying batteries, making sure that you have enough spare batteries, or even buying rechargeable batteries, which are often more costly than regular batteries. Glow sticks cost very little and are disposable, so it doesn’t really matter if you lose one or two along your journey. You can usually pick up a package of glow sticks in most dollar stores or bargain stores, which makes them the perfect item for when you are out and about.
As well as lighting benefits, glow sticks also have many safety benefits for outdoor activities. When night falls and it becomes dark outside, they light up the area without using fire or heat. As a result, the area will always be visible and there is no risk of starting a fire or injuring someone.
