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.

Coast Model 1 solar electric travel trailer/RV parked near a pond.

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.
Get the details on Coast's Model 1 solar electric trailer

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

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.
