WHAT THE WONDER EXPLORER WOULD NEED:

A compass that can project an illusion map and translates human, and even animal languages!
A tent that can form a form… form a thorn… form a force… form a force field, that’s it form a force field. Gosh that was hard to say! Anyway, that can form a -force field so no danger can creep up on you when sleep, deeeep in your sleep. (Also activated with compass.)
A rope that never ends (perfect for climbing down really high cliffs) and to get up it will levitate you all the way to where ever your high destinations may be.
