My Camino Frances hike — effectively, the final 70 or so miles — begins in just a few days for me and my strolling buddy, and one of many issues that I do not need to occur alongside the way in which is that we lose something essential. Keys, backpacks, wallets, passports, and even coats are finder tagged. I am an iPhone user, and so I've caught AirTags onto just about all the things of worth (utilizing the superb equipment that Elevation Lab makes for that activity). My path buddy is an Android user, they usually're having to make use of one thing totally different. 

Additionally: I found an AirTag alternative that beats the Bluetooth tracker in meaningful ways (including price)

Whereas keys and backpacks are protected utilizing the brand new Pebblebee Clip 5 tags, they are a bit on the massive aspect to enter a pockets. But worry not, as a result of Pebblebee has one thing for that demand — the Card 5.  

The Card 5 seems and feels barely thicker than a standard bank card. I've had credit-card-sized tracker tags previously, and at solely 0.07 inches/1.74 mm skinny, this tag is considerably thinner than these — some 30% thinner, in keeping with Pebblebee. 

Contained in the robust, sturdy exterior — designed to IPX6 requirements to shrug off mud and rain — is numerous cool electronics.

To make discovering issues simpler, the tag has a super-loud beeper that's far louder than the AirTag, and shiny LEDs, so you'll be able to search at midnight.

Additionally: I thought this iPhone screen protector was overrated – until I hit it with a brass knuckle

I've examined this tag and it had no drawback discovering a pockets on the 500-foot distance, and it fortunately linked to my iPhone when hidden in a automobile that was some 250 toes away.

There's additionally a chargeable battery inside that'll maintain the tag operating for 18 months. When it is time for a recharge, you simply place the tag on a wi-fi charging pad — no USB-C ports or cables.

All this expertise operates in a finder tag that weighs simply 0.49 ounces/14 grams.
