Goodwipes: The Traveling Man’s Get-Clean-Quick Method

We’ve all been in that pickle where you can’t properly bathe, cleanse, or shower.

Maybe you’re taking a delayed red-eye flight and have to head straight to a wedding upon landing or an urgent business meeting came up and you’re just leaving the golf course after just finishing 18-holes. Maybe you’re a dedicated guy who works out daily at your workplace gym and just doesn’t have enough time to shower due to an early meeting, or you’re a man who has plans to embark on this year’s music festival circuit with just a van and your dog, or maybe from time to time you just sweat a ton like every other normal human being. In any of these cases, it’s hard to know what to do when you can’t take a quick rinse.

Enter Goodwipes with their easy solution for any shower-less situation: portable body wipes.

Now, you don’t have to sit in your own filth during a sans-shower or while in the wilderness because Goodwipes offers cleaning cloths that are portable, powerful, soft, and their “below the belt” wipes are also biodegradable.

Goodwipes’ cloths are infused with tea tree oil, peppermint and ginseng, to guarantee your cleansing is thorough, refreshing, and great smelling. And don’t worry, it won’t take anything away from the satisfaction of that steaming shower when you finally get home.

ZERO BREEZE Mark 2 is the first real off-grid AC and it’s discounted right now
Zero Breeze Mark 2 real off-grid AC being carried

Last summer, and most of last year, really, was one of the hottest on record. This year looks to be just as hot, so you'll need a reliable way to cool down. The problem with that is that air conditioners are expensive. They're expensive to install and run, and if you're living off-grid, you can pretty much forget about AC at all — until now, anyway. ZERO BREEZE has introduced the first truly off-grid air conditioner that's ultra-portable — at only 16.5 pounds — and battery-powered. The 24-volt battery can last up to eight hours in sleep mode, perfect for extended off-grid use or van-living. You can even connect solar panels or plug it into DC or AC outlets to boost battery life, if and when available. The handheld and lightweight design works exceptionally well for easy transportation and travel, so you can bring the Mark 2 wherever your adventures take you. Use code SPRING15 at checkout through ZERO BREEZE for a limited time to get 15% off your purchase — good from March 15 to March 21.

What can the ZERO BREEZE Mark 2 do for you?

Summer can be hot and clammy, and it can even get miserably wet if you live in a humid climate.  One of the trade-offs of staying off-grid is that you're living more efficiently, which also means you're interested in cutting down on power usage and comparable utilities. Even if that's not your goal, and you're just out for an adventure, you'll have to make the same concessions. The wilderness is, well, the wilderness. But with the Mark 2, a portable, battery-powered AC unit, you can cool off anytime, anywhere.
