Printer for travel or basecamp

A printer may not be the first thing you think of taking into the wilderness, but in basecamp or on longer trips, the need to print something may arise.

A printer may not be the first thing you think of taking into the wilderness, but in basecamp or on longer trips, the need to print something may arise.

The Pocket jet from Brother prints A4 format and is extremely portable as it is 26 cm long and weighs only 473 grams! It's quite durable and uses thermal technology, so you don't need any ink or toner. Instead, it uses special paper that looks a bit like old fax paper and can be a bit tricky to get hold of. The printer uses a rechargeable battery or power via a jumper cable or wall socket. Connects to your computer via USB, Bluetooth or IrdA.

Should we have coffee or go for a walk?

Being a leader can be lonely. A cup of coffee, a walk and someone to talk to can be a start.
