I recently came back from a 3 day trip to an off-grid cabin that we visit annually. It’s a basic cabin with no electricity but there is a propane tank that powers the fridge/freezer, 2 lights in living room, and a stove. Otherwise, there is no lighting outside and flashlights and lanterns become our best friends when the sun sets. These trips are supposed to be simple yet we always somehow pack too much stuff whether it’s too much food or too much gear. It’s nice to be prepared but I seem to overdo it. The Crush Light Solar Powered Lantern by Goal Zero is the perfect replacement for my current lantern. 

I’m not a huge fan of watches but I most certainly appreciate them and I own six semi-decent watches myself. Depending on what activity you’re doing, a watch can sometimes get in the way one way or another. The CAJISO watch is the perfect watch for those who want their wrist to feel “naked”.

Recycling is finally starting to gain momentum although the movement has been around for ages now. Disposable plastic straws are something most people don’t even give a second thought to yet they are a major problem. There are enough straws used everyday in the United States alone to wrap around the earth 2.5 times. Yes, 2.5 times around the earth every single day just from the US! That’s insane! The FinalStraw is the world’s first reusable and collapsible straw and is currently being funded on Kickstarter. 

Drones are one of the must-have gadgets of 2018 for a whole host of reasons. By offering you the ability to gain aerial footage with the click of a button they’re definitely a must-have gadget. That said, they aren’t without their issues if you use them the wrong way. Take a look at these simple pieces of advice that will ensure you don’t fall foul of any grey areas or worse — cause an accident.
