The buds themselves, also on the larger side, store in the top of the slide-down case via magnets. You get two black, Bose-like earbuds with aesthetic elephant trunks and the typical Skullcandy skull on the tip. Silicone ear fins and a red-accented ear tip round out the look, which makes …

My favorite place to wake up is in a sleeping bag, which is good because I tend to wake up a lot when sleeping in a sleeping bag. It’s not the bag, it’s the pad underneath me. I’ve tried them all (it’s part of my job), and while some are …

Go-anywhere AC is now a thing, and in fact, I’ve been writing about it since 2019, when Zero Breeze released its first luggable, battery-powered air conditioning unit. A (minor) update arrived …

Once everything was spaced out, I attached the adapter by lining up the color-coded sides of the tops alongside the matching side of the cable, screwed them in, and I was good to go. There’s a small removable piece of plastic that guides the top onto the adapter that’s prone …

You’ll definitely want to keep in mind the nesting seasons for your geographic region, as this is not a device for year-round use. The camera needs to be kept above 32 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal operation, and birds’ nesting instinct is activated within a fairly rigid window of time. If …
