I'm down in AZ with the fam for some R&R so I am throwing up some recent reviews by request. Hope you enjoy and we'll be back to regularly scheduled programming next week.

Battery Banks For Backpacking Review
I picked up 5 battery banks that are marketed at people who spend time in the backcountry and tried my best to figure out which one was best across a number of different categories.
5 banks tested are the Goal Zero Venture 75, Anker 525, Anker 325, Nitecore Carbo 2000, and Biolite 80 PD
My apologies for constantly referring to the Nitecore as Nightforce.
Also here’s another video I did explaining my entire backcountry power setup.
