Wildfires, tornados, hurricanes, floods, extreme weather. Not to be a fearmonger, but a lot is going on that warrants having a backup or emergency plan for your family. Many of us are beholden to the power grid, for example. When the power goes out or there’s a major event it can be devastating. You can’t use your phone, electronics, appliances, you name it. That is, unless, you’ve planned ahead and secured yourself a backup power solution like a portable power station or solar generator. A solution like the Anker SOLIX F2000 solar generator, which is currently being sold at a discount and in a bundle with a 400-watt solar panel. Together, you can keep your home, RV, campsite, or wherever, powered up and active, even during an outage. Usually $2,898, the bundle is down to $1,599 today which saves you $1,299.

Here’s why you might want the Anker SOLIX F2000 solar generator bundle

The best thing about portable power stations and solar generators like the Anker SOLIX F2000 is that they are incredibly versatile. You can use them as a power backup solution in a traditional family home, to power your RV or van adventures, at a campsite, or pretty much anywhere you need. Want to power some tools at a remote job site? You can do that. Need to power a stereo system in your backyard for a family barbecue? Yep, that’s possible too.

The Anker SOLIX F2000 specifically can be connected to the included 400-watt solar panel to charge the device entirely with renewable energy. If you need to charge it faster or via a regular power outlet, you can do that sure, but it’s not necessary. That removes a lot of the limitations you’d have with traditional power. You can travel, explore, or venture anywhere and always have power at the ready.

The Anker SOLIX F2000 has a 2,048-watt-hour capacity with four AC outlets and support for up to 2,400 watts of output. That’s enough to power up to twelve devices at once. It also has an RV port, USB-C charging ports, USB-A, and car outlets. Even use it as a UPS or uninterruptible power supply for your mission-critical electronics or medical devices like a CPAP machine.

The rugged wheels and telescopic handle make it super easy to move around or transport, which is going to make a world of difference at a campsite or while exploring the great outdoors. But more importantly, the bundle is available at a huge discount today. Usually $2,898, the bundle is down to $1,599 so you’ll save $1,299. If you don’t have a portable power system at home, I’d highly recommend getting one. You never know when you’ll need it.

Exploring South Dakota’s Black Hills in spring: Snowmobiling, scenic views, and more
South Dakota has some of the best snow sports around
Longhorn goats at Badlands National Park

Snowmobiling is one of the most popular activities in South Dakota in the winter and early spring, due to the long season and extensive trail systems that cover about 416 miles and 1.2 million acres of dense pine forests, open meadows, and rugged limestone terrain. The snowmobile season officially runs from mid-December to the end of March, though the trail conditions depend on the snowfall.
Originally, the South Dakota State Tourism Office flew us out in mid-March to experience the best that the state has to offer in early spring. Unfortunately, there was a huge warm spell just as we arrived, and the snowmobile trails melted out. While it did snow plenty during our stay, it wasn’t quite enough to get us out there. That said, I was still able to chat with a bunch of locals to figure out where to go, what to do, and how to make the most of snowmobiling in the Black Hills. I also compiled some suggestions about what to do if the weather doesn't turn out the way you planned. Here’s everything I learned.

Yellowstone’s latest mystery: a new volcanic vent discovered
New plumes of steam visible at Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park volcanic vent over Nymph Lake

Our national parks are always changing, and Yellowstone National Park is an excellent example of that. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) just announced that scientists have discovered a brand-new volcanic vent that has opened up in the park. While it was originally discovered on August 5, 2024, when a park scientist driving south from Mammoth Hot Springs saw a plume of steam above the tree line, the USGS has finally confirmed that it is indeed a new volcanic vent.

This new hydrothermal feature sits at the base of a rhyolite lava flow and is surrounded by mineral-rich ground in the Roadside Springs thermal area. If you look south near a pullout along the Mammoth to Norris road just north of the Nymph Lake overlook, you should be able to see it over the other side of the marsh.

Iceland's Arctic Trucks has partnered for years with Isuzu UK to trick out the brand's best and baddest off-road rigs.  But its latest work, codenamed Basecamp, takes the partnership to a whole new level.

Every Basecamp truck is born from the legendary Isuzu D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 — a rig that the brand describes as its "most capable pickup ever. 25 years in the making." It's an ultra-rugged, go-anywhere truck that's purpose-built for the world's toughest environments. But Arctic Trucks saw fit to do better.
