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.

Lightship’s all-electric AE.1 Cosmos travel trailer finally drops this summer
With the most powerful battery bank and rooftop solar system available on any travel trailer today

The best RVs deliver a camping experience with most (or all) of the comforts of home — "roughing it" without getting too rough. But, there's a new crop of next-generation models designed to take that to a whole new level, thanks to the wonders of modern battery and electric technology. Lightship is looking to be at the forefront of that revolution with the launch of its first all-electric production travel trailer, the limited-edition AE.1 Cosmos.

Inside, the AE.1 interior feels bright, minimalist, and modern in either of the two available colorways: Timberline and DuskHorizon. Because it boasts more glass than any travel trailer I'm aware of — a dozen panoramic windows and a half-dozen skylights in total — the cabin is bathed in natural light while affording unobstructed views of your latest bucket-list-worthy camp spot. It's roomy enough to sleep four adults via a convertible day bed at the rear paired with a convertible midship dinette. You'll find all of the features of a typical luxury RV, including a roomy marine bathroom (with shower and sink), an automotive-grade climate control system, and a galley kitchen complete with a fridge, a microwave, a convection oven, an induction cooktop, and even a dishwasher.

A long-awaited reopening in the Smoky Mountains is finally here
Great Smoky Mountains National Park repairs a culvert and more at this favorite hiking spot
Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Ever since the devastation of Hurricane Helene, Great Smoky Mountains National Park has slowly but surely been reopening sections of the park following reconstruction efforts. The Cosby Area, which is a popular place for visitors to hike, camp, and picnic, is next on the list. As of May 12, 2025, the Cosby Area has officially reopened following the completion of a culvert replacement under Cosby Entrance Road.

This is one of many rehabilitation projects in the area aimed at protecting aquatic species and managing water flow, since flood damage has been a major concern. Heavy rainfall, flooding, and recent debris buildup have heightened risks in the area.

Top attraction at Sequoia National Park finally reopens after 4 years

Crystal Cave at Sequoia National Park

Crystal Cave, which is Sequoia National Park's most popular attraction since the park's opening in 1940, will finally reopen for guided tours on May 23 after four long years of closure. These closures were due to several consecutive natural disasters, including the 2021 KNP Complex wildfire, as well as 2022 and 2023 winter storms which brought heavy snow, flooding, and landslides.
“The opening of Crystal Cave is a big step forward in disaster recovery for Sequoia and Kings Canyon,” said Clay Jordan, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks superintendent. “We’re excited to be able to reopen this incredible attraction to visitors and encourage people to enjoy all of the beauty and wonder these parks have to offer.”

Restoration efforts have been extensive near the Giant Forest, where Crystal Cave resides. The Sequoia Parks Conservancy replaced several power lines, stabilized roads, and removed almost 3,000 hazardous trees, with 2,000 more to go.
