We’re excited to be a part of Macworld | iWorld, the biggest, most influential technology conference devoted to Macs, iPhones and iPads. What is a camping site doing at a technology conference, you ask? We’re going to talk about about what happens when high adventure and high technology collide — the iOS apps that can make your camping trip even better, and how to make sure they stay powered for the whole trip.
Here’s the write-up from the conference organizers:
Can high adventure and high tech coincide? This fun and lively session will show you how to integrate technology to make camping easier, safer, more convenient and even more fun. You’ll learn about useful iOS apps that can be even better than the traditional ones they replace (or enhance); how to find and stay on the trail; how to show the outside world what a great time you’re having; how to identify all those extra stars you see in the country; impress friends with your knot-tying skills; find a Geocache; perform First Aid; call for help even when reception is poor; make sure your iPhone lasts throughout your whole adventure and more.
Who Should Attend?
Tech-loving outdoor enthusiasts who want to combine the love of their iPad, iPhones and other gadgets with their love of the Great Outdoors.
Attendees Will Learn:
- How to use iOS devices for camping-related tasks like navigation, star-gazing, knot-tying, survival, first aid ,etc.
- How to keep your iPhone or iPad powered up during long excursions.
- How to use other high-tech camping gear to enhance your trek.
- Some decidedly low-tech tricks to get extra mileage from your high-tech devices.
You can register at the Macworld | iWorld site. We hope to have some extras to offer TrailCamper readers, like conference discounts and maybe even a surprise or two, so stay tuned.

Welcome to those who have stumbled upon our little experiment. We’re the publishers of TrailCamper magazine, and we’re in the process of creating a website (and perhaps a little more) to complement our paper edition. (We almost said “paper product,” but that brought some very odd things to mind.
