Price: $180, which includes two years of cellular service; after that, the service costs $29.99 per year.

Paper Towel Holder
Mixing water, dirt, and paper towels is a recipe for aggravation, especially in a windy campsite. The Paper Towel Holder from SeaSucker is a simple and effective way to keep a standard kitchen roll from falling onto the ground or unspooling in a stiff breeze. Made in the USA, the Paper Towel Holder attaches to any nonporous surface using a powerful vacuum mount. An elastic tensioner makes tearing off single sheets easy. When it’s time to remove or store the device, it does not leave a mark. Available in black or white, the holder costs $99.
