Every now and then we come across a product or brand that we fall in love with. Whether it’s because the product is amazing, the brand is reputable or the company supports a worthwhile mission, we are all about promoting products we use and companies we believe in. EcoSurvivor is one of those brands that satisfies all of the above attributes. Their products encompass our nature-loving core values in every possible way. From recyclable packaging and energy efficient lighting and power solutions to supporting nonprofit partners like Water4 and their sustainable solutions that are saving millions of lives and changing the world into a cleaner, safer and more eco-friendly place for all.
We had the chance to try out a few of the EcoSurvivor products and were super impressed with them. Not only were they durable enough to stand up to my kid’s abuse, but they’re super functional, practical and affordable. Plus, there’s the added bonus of feeling great about your purchase by supporting a company that’s making a difference in the lives of so many people around the world. If you and your family are outdoorsy, you’re going to love these products!
Durable dual-purpose products
EcoSurvivor offers a wide-range of durable outdoor tech products such as lighting, speakers and battery packs. Lighting options include LED lanterns, pyramid tent lights, headlamps, night lights and compact lanterns. Their products strike the perfect balance between form and function without sacrificing performance. EcoSurvivor products are made to stand up to the elements – they’re water, dust, sand and impact resistant – making them the perfect gear for hiking, camping and outdoor adventures.
Quite a few of their products are also dual-purpose, making them double handy when you’re outdoors and unplugged. Whether you need portable power combined with LED lighting or a Bluetooth speaker that can also charge your phone, EcoSurvivor products are reliable, versatile and always ready for the next adventure.
EcoSurvivor USB Lantern
If you are an outdoor adventure seeker, make sure you add the EcoSurvivor USB Lantern to your gear list. Built for outdoor use, the lantern has a rugged, impact-resistant construction and rubberized gray finish. It’s waterproof, dust-proof, sand-proof and impact-resistant for those accidental drops and tumbles. It has a locking carabiner handle for carrying or easy hanging in any location. It’s lightweight, brilliantly bright, tough and durable. This lantern will keep your path well lit during an evening hiking excursion or at the campsite after dark.
The lantern’s energy efficient LEDs provide bright white light (800 lumens) anywhere you need it. The light is dimmable with 3 (high, medium, low) settings to choose from (high is super bright!). All it needs are 6 size D batteries and you’ll get 200-hours (!!) of battery life when the lantern’s on low. The lantern has a 360° omnidirectional light, so it illuminates a much larger area than flashlights or headlamps. Plus, the light source never needs to be replaced.
But my favorite feature is the charger. In case of emergency, the lantern comes equipped with a standard USB port to charge your phone or mobile device using the lantern’s battery power. How handy is that when you’re out on the trail?
This lantern is a big hit at our house! My only regret is that we don’t have two of these, so the kids could each have their own. With a new baby in the house, we haven’t had time to take it camping or on a night hike, but we will soon! Instead, we are using it for evening backyard/neighborhood exploration in our pajamas (What? You don’t do this?), a bedtime nightlight and basement camping in the kids teepee downstairs. We even dined in the dark with only lantern light the other night, for fun (ok, maybe we’re weird).
It’s stood up to constant love (abuse) from a rowdy 3 and 5 year old. I’m pretty sure it’s been dropped down the stairs a few times and it’s still in great shape. It’s lightweight enough for both kids to carry around and durable enough to be fought over and not break. We highly recommend!
EcoSurvivor Bluetooth Speaker
We also had the chance to try out the EcoSurvivor Bluetooth Speaker. I don’t know about you, but we’ve gone through a number of outdoor Bluetooth speakers and have yet to find one that can stand up to the abuse we dish out by taking it hiking, biking, camping, canoeing and beaching. However, we may have finally found “the one.” The EcoSurvivor speaker is super durable and designed to withstand impact and vibration. The IP65 rating means it’s protected from dirt, rain and splashing water.
This speaker pairs wirelessly with your smartphone, tablet or other Bluetooth device, giving you convenient access to your favorite playlists while you’re outdoors and on the go. It has a 30-foot range, perfect for playing DJ at a campsite or on a hike. Use the built-in rubber lanyard for a convenient carrying or hanging options. Perfect for the beach, home, poolside, golfcart and camping.
This portable speaker uses a rechargeable 4,000 mAh battery, which provides up to 12 hours of play time. It is equipped with a fuel gauge button – just press it to display the remaining battery capacity. Similar to the lantern, this speaker is dual-purpose! It features a USB port (1.0A output) so you can charge your other devices while you listen.
This speaker is also a huge hit with the family. My husband and 3 year-old are the music lovers in our house and they take turns with it (or just fight over it). It’s constantly either playing Avett Brothers or the Trolls soundtrack (I’ll let you figure out who’s picking which). It’s a constant companion for my daughter in my playhouse in the backyard. We also take it with us on our evening bike/wagon rides around the neighborhood. The sound is great, the battery life is long and it’s survived multiple drops in the yard and on the street. We are hard on devices (not on purpose!), but this one has already taken a beating and lived to tell the tale.
EcoSurvivor + Water4
While I’m super impressed with the EcoSurvivor products, I’m even more impressed with their mission and charitable giving. When you buy EcoSurvivor products, you’re making a difference around the world. EcoSurvivor donates 50% of its net proceeds to Water4, a 501(c)3 charity that is committed to providing at-risk, indigenous people access to clean water.
The biggest challenge for millions of people today is access to clean water. The world water crisis impacts nearly 1 billion people and causes over 3 million preventable deaths each year. Did you know that women in Africa walk an average distance of 3.75 miles to collect water? And did you know that 80 percent of illnesses in developing countries are linked to poor water and sanitation conditions?
However, your EcoSurvivor purchase can help make this crisis become history. Jasco is helping the fight to end the water crisis by donating 50% of EcoSurvivor net proceeds to clean water projects with Water4 – a nonprofit organization empowering people to eradicate their own water crisis through entrepreneurship, education and technology. It’s Water4’s mission to see the global water crisis eradicated in this lifetime. With each new well that’s drilled — in some of the most remote, hostile places on Earth — the arrival of clean water improves the health of entire villages, provides dignity and self-reliance, freedom from waterborne disease and death, and the promise of long-term health and food security. Access to clean water is truly the foundation for transforming these communities.
