"Bottom Line: I think the powermonkey-eXplorer is a perfect accessory to throw in your bag for those times where you might need an emergency recharge and aren't anywhere close to a power source. I used it everyday..."
"On a backcountry expedition or extended camping trip or any other time you’d want to have power at your fingertips for small electronic devices, I think this portable charger would do the job nicely."
"New laptops have improved battery life by at least five to six hours, but that extra time still won't get you all the way to Tokyo. External power supplies are a dime a dozen for cellphones, but the same can't be said for those that extend the battery life of your laptop. Of the handful that exist, the Powergorilla stands out for its versatility"
"the world’s smallest jump-start system for car batteries and the perfect size for storing in the glove box."
"Billed as “the smallest fully working corkscrew in the world,” this cool little TwistStick Corkscrew device will keep any wine lover from ever being without the means to open a bottle."
"The lighter has become a standard fixture around the house, and I fully expect to continue to
use it around the house and when the weather warms up for family camping"
"Have you ever needed a little bit of extra cash but as you check your wallet or pocket, you
find that you don’t have any? Don’t get caught without a little extra cash. TRUE Utility
has this cool little capsule called the Cash Stash."
"This is one of those simple travel goodies that are incredibly handy"
"OK, so I'm a geek for folding multi-tools. That doesn't mean I need a dozen of them, and this latest little gem for $12.99 from www.stuffjunction.com is a lulu. With pliers, a cutting blade, two screwdrivers, a file and a punch, the
True Utility Scarab folds into an oval about 1 1/2-by-2-by- 1/4 inches like a scarab beetle, and it's very solidly made. "
"Roughing it is OK, but when camping I enjoy the civilized touch of an evening glass of wine ...That means an unending search for the perfect camp wine bottle opener. That search might have ended.... I'm going to give a couple of them permanent homes in my pack and kayak. The Twistick is availablefrom $7.99 from a Web site, www.stuffjunction.com. But be warned -- if you go to the Stuff Junction site, you won't be able to resist buying some of the other neat things on it."
"Small consumer electronics are expected to be a hot item this holiday season, so it’s likely someone on everybody’s list will appreciate a rechargeable power source that fits in a wallet. Weighing only 2 ounces and measuring just over a quarter of an inch in height, the ChargeCard is one of the lightest, slimmest portable chargers available today."
"Basically the size of a credit card, it has twice the battery capacity of a cell phone. The usefulness became obvious at elk camp this year, when the young-uns in the group slept in every morning after their cell phones went dead and they lost use of their only alarm clocks."
"I don’t do much product testing, because, frankly, there are just way too many products out there in the world. But the Fatcat ChargeCard appealed to me"
Eco-Laundry Balls
"Over all I am super happy with this laundry system...I love how light and fluffy our clothes are and how they smell clean...I also think that this set would be amazing for anyone that has to go to a laundry mat. No lugging around bottles or boxes of detergent and dryer sheets! "
"Look folks....anything that can save me time, energy and money is something I am all over. Tie in the fact that it helps the environment and woo hoo! I tried my FatCatGreen out this week on my work laundry and have no complaints."
"...also a fan of SoundRacer, a transmitter that can be plugged into a car lighter and set to the FM dial. It lets drivers
make their vehicles sound like high-performance sports cars. "It turns your Honda into a Ferrari," he says."
"Called the “modernized version of a bed of nails;” the Hälsa Wellness™ Mat is used to release physical, mental and emotional blocks by stimulating the release of endorphins and oxytocin, the body’s own pain relief hormones. We found it to relieve headaches, muscle tension and back pain. Who wouldn’t want a gift of wellness this holiday season!"
