• Cole­man Lantern — Instead of the IPhone Flash­light App, I added the Cole­man Lantern app.  “The Cole­man® Lantern appli­ca­tion lets you choose from 10 dif­fer­ent lanterns that fill your camp­site with bright, white light. And if you’re not camp­ing, the Cole­man® Lantern is great for find­ing things in your car, walk­ing at night, read­ing, and for any­where else you need more light.”
• Bug Spray — I’m not sure if this app works or not, but for the cost, fig­ured I should have it… “Bug Spray emits high fre­quen­cy tones that have the effect of repelling insects. These high fre­quen­cy tones are above the hear­ing range of most peo­ple, so don’t be alarmed if you can’t hear the tones. You can see that the high fre­quen­cy tones are play­ing by observ­ing the sound meter when the app is active.”
• First Aid White Cross — Per­son­al­ly, in an emer­gency sit­u­a­tion if I get a lit­tle crazy, I can calm myself down, and ref­er­ence some­thing that can save some­one else’s life…  “It is an easy to use appli­ca­tion that will allow you to cor­rect­ly han­dle an emer­gency sit­u­a­tion. All the basic infor­ma­tion you need for the cor­rect han­dling of an emer­gency case is illus­trat­ed and short­ly described.”
• Wik­i­How Sur­vival Kit App — Anoth­er app with instruc­tion on how to get out of cer­tain sur­vival sit­u­a­tions in a pinch…  “The appli­ca­tion includes the ‘wik­i­How Sur­vival Kit,’ a col­lec­tion of arti­cles to get you through life’s most dif­fi­cult sit­u­a­tions. Includes arti­cles on first aid such as CPR, the Heim­lich maneu­ver, treat­ing burns and bleed­ing. It also con­tains wilder­ness life-savers like how to build a fire or find North with­out a com­pass. And you nev­er know when you might need some of the more “unex­pect­ed sce­nario” arti­cles like how to escape from a bear, how to regain con­trol of a spooked camel, or how to sur­vive a riot.”

• Fit Mind Exer­cise Moti­va­tion — An app that you can lis­ten to that helps your sub­con­scious to pre­pare itself for exer­cise and give you the moti­va­tion to exer­cise.  Does it work, who real­ly knows, it might just be all psy­cho­log­i­cal…  Fit­Mind Exer­cise Moti­va­tion uses sci­en­tif­i­cal­ly engi­neered bin­au­r­al fre­quen­cy pro­grams designed to syn­chro­nize the fre­quen­cy of your brain waves with a pos­i­tive, moti­vat­ed, ener­gized and con­fi­dent state of mind, ide­al for exer­cise.
• 90-Sec­ond Shape up — Anoth­er app to help me get into shape.  I trav­el a lot for work, so these are easy exer­cis­es I can do right in the hotel room to help give me a fast hard work out…  The 90-Sec­ond Fit­ness Solu­tion vook is a rev­o­lu­tion­ary new way to expe­ri­ence the pow­er­ful strength-train­ing plan of Pete Cerqua. With this appli­ca­tion, you can read about Pete’s exer­cise tech­niques, watch him demon­strate each exer­cise tech­nique indi­vid­u­al­ly, and fol­low him in social media to get even more insight. You’ll shape up, get fit, and be look­ing great in no time!

• Emer­gency Radio — Not unlike a police scan­ner, depend­ing on my loca­tion, I can tune into what is hap­pen­ing in local­ly with the police, ambu­lance, and fire depart­ment…  Tune in to every­thing from the Los Ange­les Police Depart­ment (LAPD) to the New York Fire Depart­ment (FDNY).

So that’s it… These are my outdoor/survival apps that I may need in a pinch.  Some of you might be think­ing the iPhone bat­tery sucks.  Well, yeah, it does.  So I car­ry two items with me that help me out a bit.  First is the Mophie back­up bat­tery case.  It will just about ful­ly recharge my iPhone if I turn it off and let it charge deplet­ing the case’s bat­tery entire­ly.  I also car­ry a recharge­able back­up bat­tery for the iPhone.  So effec­tive­ly, I can get three full charges from my phone if I need to in an emer­gency sit­u­a­tion.
