Back in 2014, pro climber Alex Honnold gave us a tour of the 2002 Ford Econoline E150 he used as his mobile base camp. That van served him...
A recap of popular stories this past week, Dec. 23-29, 2018.
It’s fitting that Alex Honnold has teamed up with Rivian Automotive. Rivian touts its automobiles as “the world’s first electric adventure vehicles.” And Honnold is, of course, one of the foremost adventurers of our time.
Read the firsthand account of one GearJunkie editor’s experience with a break-in. In a town where break-ins aren’t common, this tale is startling.
We covered O’Brady’s start to his odyssey, and to much doubt, he finished what he set out to do. American adventurer Colin O’Brady, 33, just completed a record-setting 921-mile unsupported solo journey across Antarctica.
In need of some stoke? This highlight reel from 2018 is high octane and high thrill.

So i found this awesome discount offer on twitter, for this camping battery so i bought the Jackery unit recently to take on a camping trip. I used the unit to power my Meade 12 inch telescope and charge my phone and iPad. Processing img 8chht9rwxf721... The unit charged up relatively quickly from the wall plug. I didn't splurge on their solar panel which seemed over priced to other solar panels I saw on Amazon. Processing img t6bzba5yxf721... The telescope worked flawlessly using the cigarette plug. I have a Meade power tank (nickel battery) that couldn't last more than a few hours. The Jackery lasted two nights, running the scope from 9 pm to about 1 am both nights without charging. Processing img eec3acazxf721... Also charged the phone 2x and the iPad 1x using the USB ports on the unit and after all that the unit still had 77% power left.The power meter is a neat feature.The unit feels solid overall.I will update the review since the unit is new and I cannot attest to its durability. There is a 2 year manufacturers warranty but that could be useless if Jackery isn't around in the future to honor it. Yaass [link] [comments] |
