Nomadix Towels: No More Smelly, Dirty Towels while Traveling

Have you ever been on out camping or on the beach, or like me this week, camping on a beach? If you had to bring your own towel, then you’ll know exactly what I went through.

I don’t mind roughing it, and since I didn’t have that much space in my bag, I brought just one towel, meant to last me for a few nights of camping out on the beach. By day, I used it to sit on and dry off, and by night, it would dry on a tree. By the end of the third day, that thing smelled. Like really badly. I wish I had a towel that could have stayed fresh and clean the whole time.

Too bad I didn’t have a Nomadix towel. It had all the ideal features of the towel that I needed. It’s made out of 100 percent recycled material, and it’s good for camping, the beach, and even to towel off after yoga. It’s also quick dry, antimicrobial, and way more packable than that thick beach towel I had with me while I camped out on the white-sand, crystal-clear tourquoise-watered Flamenco Beach in Puerto Rico. It’s also super absorbent, reversible, light weight, durable, and for those of us who hate that musty smell, quick drying!

And for those of you who like to have a little personal touch on your camping or beach towel, the Nomadix towel has a number of designs, colors and patterns for you to choose from a cool palm desert print, to earthy Baja stripes. Now I just have to get one so that next time I’m camping on the beach I’m stuck with a dirty towel that smells like something I would not want to put near my body. Now I just need to decide on which Nomadix towel to get.

The last decade has seen an explosion in tech innovation in the RV and travel trailer industry. With batteries and mobile solar setups getting cheaper, better, and more ubiquitous, many of today's recreational vehicles are finally capable of keeping up with the demands of today's tech-obsessed travelers. Case in point: Coast's all-new Model 1. It's a solar-powered travel trailer designed to take you just about anywhere without having to leave your gadgets behind.

From afar, the exterior of the Model 1 has the same recognizable silhouette as many of today's premium travel trailers. But, decked in jet black or two-tone black-on-white (it's also available in all white), it feels sleeker, more modern, more ... premium. The glossy shell appears vaguely futuristic, a hint of the solar-heavy tech that lies beneath. The genuine composite structure is made by, in Coast's words, "combining differing fully recyclable, re-purposable, and environmentally friendly natural components [that are] virtually waterproof."

Camping hacks: Is Vaseline the secret to an incredible campfire?
Want a great campfire? Pack vaseline
A campfire.

Vaseline, also known as petroleum jelly, is a versatile product widely used for everything from skin care to squeaky hinges. But did you know that it can also be a great fire starter? Getting that fire started is a crucial skill for camping enthusiasts for warmth, cooking, and campsite ambiance. This fire starting hack is one that seasoned campers swear by. Is this common household item the ticket to an incredible campfire? Here's everything you need to know.
How to use Vaseline to start your campfire

At its core, Vaseline is a blend of mineral oils and waxes, which creates a semi-solid jelly-like substance. Its primary use is as a skin protectant, but its highly flammable properties make it an excellent accelerant for fire starting. When applied to a suitable medium that can hold and slowly release the jelly (like cotton balls), it burns more steadily and for a longer duration, making it just the trick to get your campfires going.
