Redodo 100aH LiFeP04 Battery Review – Power For Days!

Pete — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 02:58:01 +0000

When the adventure calls for reliable, deep-cycle power, LiFeP04 batteries are 100% the way to go. There are so many advantages that lead acid or AGM batteries are simply not even valid options anymore. That is why I teamed up with Redodo to test one of their most popular LiFeP04 batteries in our boat as an auxiliary power source. We never like to run our accessories off our main batteries. If we’...

Bodega Portable Dual-Zone Refrigerator/ Freezer Review

Pete — Sat, 18 Mar 2023 22:56:44 +0000

Our camping trips and adventures consist of many different setups these days. Whether in our Sprinter van, toyhauler, or boat; we’re always stretching our trips out as long as possible. With this comes the need to store our drinks and food. Portability is probably the most essential factor in this. This is why I was interested in trying out a dual-zone refrigerator/ freezer. In this blog post, I’...

Adventure Gear Review: Kemimoto Heated Jacket

Pete — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 02:21:45 +0000

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I spend quite a bit of time outdoors. I’m always on adventures, riding my dirtbike, or driving around the dunes in my sandcar. Although I live in the desert and it gets extremely hot in the summer, the winters can still get extremely cold. For the last month, I’ve had the chance to test out some new Kemimoto heated gear. Heated gear isn’t something new...

The Perfect Portable Fridge / Freezer for Adventures: BougeRV Review

Pete — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 04:03:24 +0000

Although the built-in refrigerator in our van has been a very useful tool on our camping trips lugging plenty of meals, snacks, and drinks across the country, it has its drawbacks. What it hasn’t done is kept our food cold in extremely high temperatures, had enough room for ice, or had the convenience of being portable. This is where the BougeRV 30-quart portable fridge/freezer comes in!

Skydio 2 Motorcycle Setup + 5 Tips For Flying

Pete — Fri, 27 May 2022 14:28:25 +0000

I’ve owned my Skydio for almost a year now and I’ve learned a couple of things on how to dial in my setup and fly it from my dirtbike. Even though the Skydio is easy to fly (flies itself), you have to be able to carry everything on your bike. Being able to quickly get the drone out and in the air makes all the difference in the world for me. The same goes for landing it and putting it away so I...

Sprinter Van Adventures In Williams, AZ

Pete — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 03:00:58 +0000

With summer soon coming to a close, it’s easy to get excited about cooler temperatures. However, when you live in Vegas that doesn’t happen until late October or early November. It’s now the middle of September and we still had an excessive heat warning issued! Although it’s probably the last one of the summer, Anna and I had no intentions of being part of it. It was time to do what we usually do...

Best Camping Hammock Setup For No Bugs!

Pete — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 14:21:17 +0000

Hammock time is usually a big part of our camping and adventures, so much that I have started calling it hammock life. I thought I had found the perfect hammock, but then I came across the One Wind Double Hammock with a built-in mosquito net! A lot of times I find myself wanting to put up a hammock near a lake or some sort of majestic river or creek, but the only problem is bugs!

The Best Follow Me Drone For Beginners & Adventurers: Skydio 2 First Flight Review

Pete — Sun, 25 Jul 2021 02:16:03 +0000

I have always wanted a drone to stunning capture aerial views of me riding my dirtbike, exploring in our Sprinter van, or just getting a bird’s eye view of some awesome landscapes while on adventures. The only problem was I didn’t have someone to fly it for me! Although many of the drones on the market today have some sort of “follow-me” mode, they still aren’t foolproof and can crash into things.

Solo Camping in the Motovan at a Stellar Camp Spot!

Pete — Fri, 16 Jul 2021 14:27:17 +0000

There’s something therapeutic about getting out into nature by yourself. It’s a great way to reset and clear your head, the chance to get away from the sounds and everyday bustle that we’re used to. Last weekend I needed to escape the 118° heat of Vegas for a couple of reasons. One, the temperature alone is enough for anyone to want to flee the state. But two, I recently picked up a new Skydio 2...

Camping in Williams, Arizona and Exploring the Lava River Caves

Pete — Sat, 22 May 2021 18:07:35 +0000

Time for an adventure! Work always gets in the way of fun, therefore we have been in much need of a weekend getaway. Luckily just a few hours from Vegas there are perfect places like Williams, AZ to camp and explore. The elevation is surprisingly high at almost 7000 feet. It makes for some nice weather when the temperatures start rising in our desert. So we joined some friends for a weekend of...
