Ruggedization

I've gathered together my first set of power gadgets.  The first thing that comes to mind, while looking at this fine collection, is that while the gadgets do the the job they were designed for they are not very rugged.  I'm going to be hanging some items from my pack while others

Next step... how to ruggedize inexpensive technology with common materials available from modern urban oases.  Follow along as I work through the process.


What I got:
Garmin Colorado 300 GPS
Spot Connect GPS locator
iPod Touch
Cell Phone(s)
Digital Camera(s)
Solar battery chargers
USB battery power pack (4 AA)
iPod battery power pack (2 AA)
NiMH rechargeable batteries

One of the cameras has a rechargeable lithium ion battery, the other take 4 AA batteries.  Spot takes 2 AA batteries, the GPS takes 2 AA batteries and it prefers lithium.
