The thing I enjoy most about camping is the sounds of birds and other wildlife at the crack of dawn. Conversely, the thing I hate most about camping is the quiet drone of a single mosquito in your tent while you’re trying to fall asleep. It’s almost impossible to figure out where the little bugger is, and when the sound stops, you know they’re up to no good. And that’s why I think this Mosquito Sound Alarm Clock is cruel and unusual punishment. It would definitely get me out of bed in the morning, though at the cost of emotionally crippling camping flashbacks. $25.95 from Danna Bananas.

Seriously, is there anything a laser can’t do? A team of mad scientists in Washington have concocted a system that could essentially eliminate malaria-carrying mosquitoes with lasers, and the whole thing can be built from parts sourced on eBay. The so-called mosquito laser is credited to an idea from Lowell Wood, an astrophysicist who worked with Edward Teller, the “architect of the original plan to use lasers to shield America from the rain of Soviet nuclear arms.” In theory, at least, the technology could one day be used to draw a laser barrier of sorts around a village. Of course, the trick is to make the lasers powerful enough to smoke the bugs without harming humans — any of you Earthlings up for a clinical trial or two?

Sometimes a good idea doesn’t have to be as fancy as multi-touch gestures, or even a better way to catch a mouse. Flashlights are pretty much a necessity whenever you venture into the great outdoors (unless you carry a FLIR or night vision system) and since everything from clothing, to sleeping bags, to backpacks already come with some type of cord locking device, why not replace them all with one that’s got a built-in LED flashlight?

The Cord Lock Light, available from Sahalie.com, is easy to install, features three brightness settings and is even water resistant. And with these installed on all of your gear, you’re always going to have a flashlight handy, whether you need to read a map, kill a mosquito or even fight off a bear. Best of all, they’re just $10 a pop, and you can save 50 cents each when you buy 2 or more.
