Get an ECOFLOW DELTA 2 solar generator for 52% off — $479

EcoFlow DELTA 2 front and rear ports available.

Portable power stations or solar generators are always excellent to have in an emergency or outage situation or just for portable power while you’re camping or traveling. There are quite a few options because, admittedly, the market is flooded with them these days, but a mainstay in the business is ECOFLOW. Thanks to an Amazon Prime Day deal, you can grab the ECOFLOW Delta 2 solar generator today for just $479, which is 52% off the regular price of $999. That saves you $520 if you’re counting. It has a 1,024-watt-hour capacity, with an expandable capacity of up to 3 kilowatt-hours if you add expansion batteries. That’s enough to power for quite a while, and the 1800-watt output can power just about anything from appliances to electronics. I have one, and I love it.

Here’s why you should consider the ECOFLOW DELTA 2 Prime Day deal

At half the usual cost, you’re getting an incredible deal on a highly-capable power station, or really, solar generator. You can connect solar panels to charge the system anywhere there’s sunlight. That frees you from having to stay near home or outlets to charge it, but when you are home, you can charge it that way, too.

It’s clean, green, and charging with renewable energy. Supporting up to 500-watt solar panels, the DELTA 2 can charged to full in about 2.3 hours. Plus, it’s electric and emissions-free, so it’s much more versatile than a gas generator. You can use it in your home, in an RV, in a cabin, and much more. Power anything and everything from lights to small appliances and beyond. I used it to keep my mobile devices charged during a hurricane for emergency calls and news updates. It worked well.

It’s not super light at 27 pounds, but it’s not crazy heavy, either. The built-in handles on the sides give you somewhere to carry it when you’re moving it around. Moreover, it’s not so large that it won’t fit in the trunk of a car, family-sized vehicle, or the bed of a truck. Pack in some expansion batteries to boost the capacity at any time. Jump from 1,024 watt-hours to over 3 kilowatt-hours in no time.

Thanks to this deal, you can grab the ECOFLOW DELTA 2 for $479, which is an insane price. It’s usually $999, so that saves you $520 or over 50% off. The Prime Day deals this year are unreal, including this one. Don’t forget to grab some solar panels if you want to charge it with renewable energy.

Between a rock and a hard place: The best rock climbing places in the world
Reach new heights at the most world-renowned climbing locations
Man rock climbing at Mount Brown in Tasmania

Rock climbing has never been more popular than it is today, but did you know that only about 48% of people make the transition from an indoor gym to an outdoor climb? One thing I love about the sport is that both types of climbing are considered valid and challenging. However, if you're hoping to make the transition from "gym to crag," these bucket list locations should definitely be on your radar. Here is a list of our picks for the best rock climbing places in the world.

Disclaimer: As exhilarating and challenging as climbing can be, the sport can also be inherently dangerous. If you are new to the sport, consider enlisting the help of a professional outfitter who can make your entrance into the sport both enjoyable and safe. Always pick a route that suits your climbing level, and make sure your gear is in good condition.

How to buy cross-country skis for your winter escapades
Glide through glorious cross-country ski trails with one of these skis
A group of men in red jackets cross country skiing on a groomed trail

Cross-country skiing is one of my favorite ways to get a full-body workout during the winter, and I love finding new trails through the Cross Country Ski Areas Association. I suppose that it's partly in my blood, since my mother grew up in Finland and had to cross-country ski to school (uphill both ways). She grew to love it again as an adult and passed that love on to me.

Nothing beats gliding over a frozen lake and feeling the sting of the crisp wind on your cheeks. Not a thing but blue sky above and the powder before you will give you that thrill. In this guide, we'll glide you through how to choose your cross-country skis this winter, from the types of skis available to how to choose the length and bindings. That way, no matter what brand you're looking at, you can choose the perfect pair for you.
