backpacking alarm clock

iPhone, airplane mode, alarm set on "Rooster" will awake the dead.

Exactly what I use. Battery lasts forever in airplane mode

My Iphone can't last a day without doing anything with it. Worst battery ever!

Knowing that I have to make it last I avoid using it for anything besides alarm and camera and also make sure all my apps are closed

 

[justin davis]

Lucky! I could have all the apps off. Not use the phone. Have it in airplane mode and the phone would still die after one day.

When I go hunting if I want my phone to save battery in have to keep it off. With all the technology out there you would think they could make a iPhone battery last long.

I have the 5c and battery life isn't great, my old htc would last twice as long almost when using them in a normal fashion. I do know that Apple puts a smaller battery in their phones compared to the other companies. That said the iPhone seems to operate way better but I don't think I'll use it in the woods for anything other then making a call.

I use a watch. I like to hang the watch above my head in the tent so that I don't have to worry about it being under a pillow or gear.

Started with the iPhone a couple months ago. Seems to be working well. Previously I used a cheap watch from kmart/walmart, ran about $10, stupid thing just wouldn't die lol

Garmin GPS. The alarm will work even when the unit is turned off.

Always had an internal clock and wake up 5min before the alarm anyways.
If not that, my bladder backs me up. But like others, I wear & use a watch as back-up.
I hunting, so I don't feel the need to update facebook, tweet or take a bunch of selfies.
So I keep my phone off until I need it.

You don't take selfies! It's probably because you don't know the proper methods. Here's a video to make you a pro quick.

At least your phone can get on facebook, tweet, and take a bunch of selfies

I dont always bring a gps but when I do I use it. Otherwise I use my suunto core. Sometimes I use my Samsung g3. Great battery life with everything closed. I can get 2 days easily on airplane mode. I have to spare batteries for it so usually im covered.

Watch....Make sure you get something with a snooze. I need it starting on day 3 or 4.

Gps, Garmin Oregon.

Gives you the option to turn the GPS off while the alarm stays on.

I use my gps for an alarm clock more than I use the gps itself.

I had to upgrade last year because I dropped mine too many times, I went with the Samsung flip phone.

 

[dreamingbig]

I have an old lg flip phone that lasts forever. I use it as my alarm.

The only time I wear a watch is hunting. Alarm, water purification timing, knowing what time it is in Alaska summer...
