REVIEW – My friends will attest that I have a problem with flashlights, namely that I’ve never met a flashlight that I didn’t like (well at least until I’ve tried it out). When the opportunity to review the Imalent RT90 4800 lumen flashlight came up, I jumped on the opportunity. Let’s see if the RT90

REVIEW – Interest in the contents of the air we breathe has taken a dramatic uptick recently for some reason (cough…COVID…cough), but we residents of Salt Lake City and nearby suburbs are very familiar with dangerous air. We often set the record for the most harmful particulate pollution in the United States in the winter,

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I’m not into styling my hair. For me, I comb it and hope it’s not messed up. This is even more true during the pandemic since I’m not going into an office with other people. There are times I need to dry my hair, and the idea of a hair dryer without

REVIEW – As an Eagle Scout and father to a scout, to me the idea of a firestarter that works by just pulling a string felt slightly insulting a first. Fire making is an essential scout skill, after all! Then I looked back at all the times I’ve been in difficult or near-miserable situations where

REVIEW – Last September, I reviewed the X-Chair X2 K-Sport Mgmt Chair. I continue to use and depend on it to keep me comfortable all day, every day.

REVIEW – Power-hungry electronics need a boost from time to time, even when you’re not near an outlet. Mobile power banks have helped out, but with power demands increasing, sometimes they just can’t supply enough fast enough. RAVPower has just released a new power bank in their PD Pioneer line that can provide enough power

REVIEW – Do you ever want to cook just one fried egg, one waffle, or a tiny cake for just one person, but then you change your mind when you don’t feel like dragging out a full-sized waffle maker, frying pan, or cake pans? Or maybe you don’t even own an oven, stovetop, or a
