REVIEW – The Decked X Pathfinder Survival Kit is thoughtfully packed with quality gear that can help someone off the grid to survive in an unexpected emergency. I counted 22 items in the kit. I didn’t cheat! There are 10 alcohol swabs that I counted as one item. This kit is very well supplied. What

REVIEW – Portable audio is such a common thing today. People are always listening to music, podcasts, videos, etc., on wired headphones, Bluetooth headphones, the speaker on their phone, a portable speaker, whatever.

REVIEW – A couple of years ago I got the opportunity to test and review the OnePlus 9 Pro smartphone and while I have had a rocky on-again/off-again love affair with Android phones, I really was able to rekindle the flame with that OnePlus.
