The FlareSafe is a rather handy little tool for travellers which combines a ‘powerful LED torch’ with an optical smoke detector and an ear splitting 110db distress alarm which will go on and on for over 60 hours. Enough to scare most mothers-in-law away from your location we reckon. Oops, did we say m-in-l? Meant bears. Sorry. £49.95.
Ideal for use in hostels, tents, boats and caravans, the FlareSafe’s smoke alarm function is armed via a quick twist. The second the sensor detects smoke, a siren sounds and the torch light automatically turns on. This really is a great feature as we all know how much naughty backpackers and festival fans love fiddling around with fires, matches and other incendiary devices.
