Anker is a favored brand for outdoor enthusiasts looking to make the most of their power, and at a media event today, Anker Innovations made several announcements that campers, van-lifers, and those who love having a little extra juice at home should take note of. In addition to the debut of new products, the company focused on three key areas: sustainability, community, and eco-innovation. To prove that they mean business, they have pledged to go 100% plastic-free with their packaging by 2027. They are also on track to offset a whopping 30,000 tons of CO2 emissions.

No matter where you live, Anker is on a mission to free you from the clutches of the power grid. The company launched Anker Solix, its entrance into the home energy market. This new brand will include a line of solar balcony solutions (aimed at apartment dwellers) and modular solar battery storage systems. Anker’s existing PowerHouse portable power stations will now be part of Anker Solix’s portfolio.

Zipper pull camping hack: Exit your tent and disturb no one
Don't wake up your partner while camping with this tent zipper pull hack
Man at a campground stargazing

Camping overnight comes with a bunch of challenges, but if you're like me, one of the worst ones ever is needing to exit the tent before dawn to use the bathroom or grab something from the car. My husband is a pretty light sleeper, so any excessive rumple I make is going to wake him up. Worse, I've also had the misfortune of startling wildlife. Fortunately, I've found a great camping hack that solves the problem — glow sticks!

Yep! You heard me. I've found that creating a glow stick ring through the holes in my tent's zipper pulls solves the issue. Not only does this make your zipper visible, but it also gives you something bigger to grab on to. With this camping hack, I am able to open my tent's zipper slowly and quietly, minimizing risk of startling anything inside or outside.

The best Midwest ski resorts for a weekend getaway on the slopes
Whether you're going with kids or your partner, these are the top Midwest ski resorts to check out
Ski lift

The Midwest is known for many things -- endless cornfields, die-hard football fans, and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. But while skiing may not be the first thing that comes to mind, the Midwest is home to some surprisingly impressive ski resorts that are ideal for winter enthusiasts. There are plenty of well-known ski towns in the Midwest, including the town of Ishpeming in northwestern Michigan, which is credited with being the so-called birthplace of organized skiing in America, as the original home of the National Ski Association, created in 1905 -- and now known as US Ski & Snowboard.

Remember, though, Midwestern winters can include extreme conditions, so be ready for bone-chilling winds and icy temperatures with the best ski and snowboard jackets and the best ski gloves in your snow sports arsenal. You'll also want to make sure your skis are good to go. After all, many experts say showing up with the right ski gear is the most important part of a day on the slopes. "When driving down an icy mountain road, it is reassuring to know your car is fitted with snow tires and fully functional brakes," said ski instructor Marco Furio in an interview with New Generation. "The same concept can be applied to skiing. The sport is about learning to trust your equipment and its capabilities, as well as your own."

Top national parks in Canada that you need to visit
Moraine Lake at Banff National Park in Canada

I most often cover national parks in the U.S., but today, I'd like to jump across the northern border and rank a few of my favorite Canada national parks. From turquoise waters to coral beaches and arctic landscapes, Canada has so much to explore. The next time you visit, here are five of my favorite national parks in Canada and what you can do there.
Banff National Park in Alberta

When talking about Canada national parks, I can't not mention Canada's very first national park. Banff was established in 1885 and is now a UNESCO Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. This area is well known for Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, which have gorgeous turquoise waters surrounded by huge peaks.
What to do at Banff National Park
Hiking is one of the top activities to do here. While you explore over 1,600 kilometers of trails, keep an eye out for elk, bears, and even mountain goats. Six Glaciers Trail is always a favorite, and you can even visit a backcountry teahouse for some refreshments. Banff National Park is also excellent for its scenic drives. The Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper has some stunning views of the glaciers, mountains, and lakes.
