By / / Reviews / , / 1 Comment

REVIEW – Wood-fired “twig” stoves that work on the principle of wood gasification are all the rage right now in the “off-grid” community.

There are some tradeoffs, but with practice, …

By / / Reviews / , / 2 Comments

REVIEW – I love to read, but increasingly find the only time I have to read is in bed, right before going to sleep.  Our bedroom has nightstands with lamps, but as I’ve grown older (and my eyes have gotten worse!) those lamps don’t quite cut it for reading. Enter the Glocusent rechargeable LED neck …

Lokithor JA3000 jump starter and tire inflater review – insurance against dead batteries and flat tires

By / / Reviews / / 2 Comments

REVIEW – There are historically four main calls for roadside service; flat tires, dead batteries, keys locked in the car, and out of gas.  With modern cars, it’s now next to impossible to lock the keys inside. And running out of gas is usually driver error.  But wouldn’t it be nice to have a small …

By / / Reviews / / Leave a Comment

REVIEW – For the last 10 years, my goto carry-on bag was a free overnighter that I got from work.  It’s about as cheap as luggage can be and still function.  When the opportunity to review the Roam medium duffel came up, the timing was perfect – a busy summer travel season and a current …

Gotrax G6 electric scooter review – More power equals more fun!

By / / Reviews / / 3 Comments

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed one other electric scooter for this site, and it was honestly disappointing.  It had a cool design, but really lacked the power to get around.  This one is different – lots of power, comfort, and safety, but in a bit of a bland package.  What is it? The Gotrax G6 is …

Luxear Arc-Chill Cooling Comforter review – a blanket to keep you cool?

By / / Reviews / / Leave a Comment

REVIEW – When I was a kid, there was one blanket in the house that was coveted by everyone.  It was baby blue, had a pretty open weave, and was made of some synthetic fabric that made it both soft and lightweight.  But the best feature was this probably polyester trim that went around the …
