AO Review: WeatherX Solar Power Bank and Light
Most of the emergency gear I own usually plays double duty as part of my primary camping gear. Put simply, if it’s not likely to get used, I don’t really want to have it around. The WeatherX XPCW19B is one item that I’d normally file into the category of “survival” gear, but it’s turn...

AO Review: The Tiny Double-Duty WeatherX Lantern Power Bank
Most of the emergency gear I own was bought under mild duress rather than preparedness, usually in a checkout line, usually on the theory that twenty-five dollars is a fair price to not be caught in the dark.
