REVIEW – Packing towels for travel is a pain. Most of them need to be fluffy in order to be absorbent, which makes them bulky. Then, they have to flap around in the air to dry. In the last few decades, however, new materials have been developed that give you great absorption without the bulk. […]

REVIEW – If you haven’t tried out sous vide cooking yet, I highly recommend exploring it!

REVIEW – I’m not a good cook, so I have to approach the kitchen like a chemistry experiment- following directions, taking measurements. A thermometer is essential for me, so I got to try out the Typhur Sync wireless meat thermometer with two probes, just in time for holiday cooking. What is it? The Typhur Sync

REVIEW – Every year, as soon as the weather starts to get warm in the Northeast of the US, I start barbecuing. This has become a custom since I bought my home and quickly realized that my family needs to take full advantage of the backyard and the short Suner season. With something going on

REVIEW – I’ve used solar pathway lights to light up our sidewalk and have solar lights on our front porch to add some flair to the house when it’s dark. I like using solar lights because I don’t have to worry about running electricity to the lights. Sunlight does all the work for me. But

REVIEW – It seems like most of the activities I’m involved with involve mud. Caving, mountain biking, and trail running can get you very dirty, often far from any “normal” places where you could clean up. Additionally, you usually end up with muddy gear. This leaves me with the option to drive home sweaty and

REVIEW – Some years ago, I had a snowblower with a gas engine of a similar size and shape to the Worx in this review. It was frequently frustrating and a pain in the patoot to start. The fuel smelled awful, stalled at the most inopportune times, and I damaged my rotator cuff trying to

REVIEW – If you’re a dog owner, you know it’s important to physically and mentally stimulate your pup regularly. I recently got to test out a toy that does both: the iFetch Ball Launcher. What is it?

REVIEW – It would be ridiculous if they weren’t so useful. I’m referring to the mind-boggling selection of power stations available today. Large, small, and everything in between, power stations deliver juice in spades to our power-hungry gadgets. This review covers the Ugreen PowerRoam 2200 Portable Power Station. It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s powerful and
