Become a master explorer and camping pro with the Explorer Ops outdoor gear from Wild Planet! Here’s our review.

With winter wrapping up it’s time to plan camping trips and hiking adventures again! Get ready to face the great outdoors with the new Explorer Ops outdoor gear from Wild Planet. It’s part toy and part working gear! Here’s the 411 on each kit.

EXplorer Ops Outdoor Gear - Pathfinder Tool

Loaded with a compass, flashlight, magnifying lens, long-range scope and tweezers this kit is full of tools! The tweezers and magnifying lens are weak, but the blue-light flashlight is surprisingly strong and even comes with batteries. Make sure to clip it to your belt so you don’t lose it when you’re hiking.

EXplorer Ops Outdoor Gear - Binoculars

With enough power to spot a squirrel at 100 feet, these binoculars will help you find the nearest bathroom-sized bush without having to walk a mile when you have to pee. Perfect! Get your parents to help you set up the fiddly neck strap, or just keep it in the belt pouch, and you’re ready for the great outdoors.

EXplorer Ops Outdoor Gear - Survival Watch

Not just any watch has a compass, thermometer, mirror, magnifying lens and Velcro strap you can use to make that scritch-scritch noise to drive your sister nuts. But this one does! The magnifying lens is way better than the Pathfinder Tool’s, and the watch has a compass so you don’t need the Pathfinder Tool if you have one of these. The only bummer is that you can’t set the alarm for more than a day ahead – at least it has a snooze mode for when you need those extra five minutes of zzzz's…
