So many of us have been waiting for the moment those hoverboards from Back to Future become real. While there are similar devices available, questionably called hoverboards, and they’ve improved over time, the one we want just isn’t here yet. That’s okay because what we do have is pretty cool, anyway.

Like the Fluxx FX3 Hoverboard that Walmart has on sale right now for over half off. It’s a self-balancing scooter with some big wheels, and bright LED headlights. You can get it for $88 with free shipping in black, blue, pink, or teal. A fantastic deal wouldn’t you say?

The Fluxx FX3 can support up to 176 pounds and has a max speed of up to 6.2 miles per hour. Thanks to dual 200-watt motors — 400 watts total — and a highly efficient battery, there’s plenty of power on display. It can ride for up to 3.1 miles at a time, on just a single charge, and the design of the board means it can go in any direction and rotate 360 degrees locally. Because it’s a slower board overall, you can use it safely indoors and out, although you’ll need plenty of room!

LEDs built into the wheels and the board light up at night, illuminating the roads or sidewalks. They also make it easier to position your feet on the board in low-light conditions. The 6.5-inch large wheels are big enough to handle most terrain, and certainly offer a smooth ride on asphalt. The intelligent self-balancing system will keep the rider level and safe during a trip. Just hop on and go! It’s a great system to travel short distances faster than walking or to give your sore feet a break.

Walmart is offering the Fluxx FX3 Hoverboard for $111 off, normally $199, so you’re getting it for $88 with free shipping. That’s an insane deal, especially if you look at comparable boards which are much more expensive. Plus, it comes in several colors including black, blue, pink, and teal, and all of them are on sale for $88.

This mini chainsaw is on sale at Walmart at 50% off — just $30!

The Untimaty 6-inch Cordless Chainsaw and its accessories.

It's much better to have a chainsaw ready in your arsenal of power tools than to scramble to get one when you need it. You may want to take advantage of this offer from Walmart: a $30 discount on the Untimaty 6-inch Cordless Chainsaw that halves its price from $60 to just $30. That's an incredibly affordable price, but you're going to have to hurry with your purchase if you want the savings because there's no telling how much time is remaining before stock runs out.

Why you should buy the Untimaty 6-inch Cordless Chainsaw
It would be a stretch to say that a chainsaw is among the essential tools every man needs for his home, but if you ever find yourself needing one, it's best to be prepared with the Untimaty 6-inch Cordless Chainsaw. It's equipped with a 550W high-quality pure copper motor for strong cutting power, and it runs on a rechargeable 21W lithium-ion battery. It also features an ergonomic and lightweight design with rubberized grips for effortless handling, making it easier to control where you cut.

This popular Great Smoky Mountains trail will be closed for 18 months — where to hike instead

You won't see this Great Smoky Mountains Favorite for another 18 months. Here's why.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Laurel Falls Trail is a popular destination at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Seeing over 300,000 hikers annually, it's one of the park's most iconic trails. While Gatlinburg was largely spared by Hurricane Helene, Laurel Falls Trail has become unsafe due to loose, broken pavement and other safety hazards. This is largely because the trail hasn't been repaved at all since the trail was made in 1963. The National Park Service is committed to the safety of this trail, so the park has funded a rehabilitation project to give Laurel Falls Trail a well-deserved makeover.

This project will be extensive. The National Park Service reports that they will be making huge upgrades to the trailhead parking area, expanding it by about fifty parking spaces and adding a designated pathway with a guardrail to connect pedestrians to the trailhead. They will also be repaving all of the trails and installing new educational signage along the way to provide wayfinding, bear safety, and Leave No Trace guidance.

How to sharpen a knife for camping: The ultimate guide

Soon, you'll have the sharpest knife for your camping needs

One of the most reached-for camping tools in my pocket is definitely my camping knife. I wouldn't dream of going camping without it, just because it's one of the most useful tools to have. Handy for any number of tasks, I use my camping knife for food prep, making kindling for a fire, and even first aid.

But when your camping knife is blunt, it can easily become a danger. While it might seem safer to have a less-pointy object around the camp, having a blunt camping knife can cause all kinds of problems like crushing and tearing instead of slicing cleanly. The amount of force you'll need to do the job could easily send you to the emergency room, so here's everything you need to know about how to sharpen a knife for camping.
