Cool camping gadgets can make a trip more fun, easier and enjoyable. We talk about some odd things we’ve heard about or seen for camping, for example a dragonfly on a wire that clamps on to your hat that is supposed to scare away deer flies - apparently it works! And perhaps you’ve heard about the suicide showers in South America? Or how tough it is to get fresh vegetables? All that and more on this episode of RAW.
