If William S. Burroughs were writing today, his infamous musings on addiction might have danced wildly around a different class of drug: constant connectivity. And while certainly not ruinous like opiates and barbiturates, there is nonetheless a growing concern about the profound impact over-connectedness is having on our our relationships, our productivity, our psychologies.  
  
To stem the tide and bring back a bit of balance, there has been a notable increase in products and services which either encourage or downright enforce digital downtime. Over the past few weeks alone, we’ve featured [Blokket](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/05/blokket?ref=protein.xyz), a an elegant phone holder whose fabric blocks mobile signal, [Recess](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/02/recess?ref=protein.xyz), which seeks to discourage excessive computer time with lush infographics, and [Wrangler’s Mileage](https://www.prote.in/en/feed/2013/05/wrangler-mileage?ref=protein.xyz) app, which encourages its users to explore the world without the help of maps, tips and overlays.   
  
California designer [Mia Johnson](http://miaajohnson.com/?ref=protein.xyz) attacked the problem in an altogether more playful way with her [Adventure Supply Kit](http://miaajohnson.com/AdventureSupplyKit.html?ref=protein.xyz), a clever box of essentials to accompany any adventure. Complete with an analogue compass (when’s the last time you saw an analogue compass?), a disposable film camera, and glass jars for capturing fireflies (?), it is a lovely nod to good old-fashioned, lose yourself exploration. The set wouldn’t feel out of place as a Moonrise Kingdom prop, and its delightful tactility should provide a compelling reason to ditch the device for a bit. So get out and follow that compass to where no wifi roams.
