Is this useful?

I am neither an outdoorsy hiking type, nor an inveterate gadget-carrier, so I turn to you. Is this kind of thing really useful, or just wacky and expensive?

I guess it depends on what you're doing. My husband goes geocaching (http://www.geocaching.com/, if you haven't heard about it -- it might be a great thing to do with your kids), and most of that takes place in wooded areas, where solar power isn't exactly plentiful.
