My thoughts on InfinaCore’s P3 Pro: A must-have portable power solution

Sick of using multiple charging bricks and cords? Simplify with the P3 Pro

One of the worst feelings while camping or hiking is watching the battery go down on your devices, especially if you’re on a multi-day trip without a power source. There are a ton of power bank options out there, but InfinaCore just released a game-changing solution that might switch up the way you carry your power.

The P3 Pro has been highly anticipated ever since it was unveiled at CES 2024 and was successfully backed by a Kickstarter campaign. InfinaCore graciously sent me a model to test out, and it was exactly what I needed on my two-day ski trip to Santa Fe. Here’s everything you need to know about this next-generation device.

Does the P3 Pro live up to the hype?

What surprised me most is how compact the P3 Pro is. The dimensions are around 3.65 by 3.26 by 1.22 inches, so while you can’t exactly put it in your pocket, there’s so much to this brick that it’s hard to complain. InfinaCore did an amazing job making an all-in-one power solution that slides right into any bag or purse. At just 10 ounces, it’s also lightweight, and if you need to, you can strap it to your bag with a handy carabiner and silicone band.

This model has two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and 15W MagSafe Qi2 wireless charging compatibility for seamless charging. It’s not easy to find an outlet at a busy ski lodge on the weekend, so this was just the thing I needed to make sure that my party’s phones and AirPods stayed charged. Since I could charge three devices at a time, no one suffered cut-off communication and the black screen of death, even when they forgot to charge their phones beforehand.

What sets this model apart is the advanced animated color LCD display, which offers all key information at the press of a button. From this screen, you can see everything from battery percentage and temperature to output metrics and charging time. It comes with a 65-watt wall charger and is supported by a 10,000 mAh battery.

I’m definitely going to be taking it with me the next time I go overseas. The P3 Pro has several different adapter prongs (U.K. and E.U.) attachments that slide over the U.S. prong, so you’ll be prepared to recharge no matter where you go. Plus, it’s TSA and FAA compliant, so it’s fine for carry-on bags at the airport. None of the TSA agents blinked an eye when I brought it through security.

The P3 Pro is now available for purchase, retailing for $129.99 at InfinaCore and Amazon, and it comes in a variety of colors, such as black, gray, white, pink, and blue to match your personal preferences and style. And like all InfinaCore products, the P3 Pro is backed by a 99-year lifetime warranty so you can have peace of mind as you adventure.

If you value convenience while traveling, the P3 Pro can replace your wall charger, wireless pad, and power bank, as well as give international compatibility for a wander-lusting globetrotter. If that’s you, InfinaCore’s P3 Pro is a solid buy.

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.

Do golf balls go bad? Here’s how to know when it’s time to toss them
Sketchy golf ball? Here's how to see if it's still playable
Golf ball near the hole

Maybe you've found a box of old golf balls in your garage, or an unclaimed one out on the fairway. You might be wondering, do golf balls go bad? Modern golf balls are actually pretty robust, lasting as long as five or ten years or more without significant degradation, but it's always good to check. Golf balls can degrade over time, and the signs aren't always obvious. Here's everything you need to consider when teeing up with old golf balls.
How to tell if your golf balls are bad

Look for structural damage
The first thing to look for is structural damage. If your golf balls have visible scuffs, cuts, or cracks from play, they aren't going to serve you well out on the fairway. These deformities, even if they are small, can affect the aerodynamics during flight. You might be okay with very minor dings, but use your best judgment.
Checking the health of the core
If your golf ball has no structural damage, now it's time to check the health of the core. I like to give them a gentle squeeze to see if they are firm and consistent all the way around. A bad one will feel softer or even squishy in places. Then, gently bounce the golf ball on a hard surface and compare it to a new one. If it bounces almost as high, that means that it's likely still good.
The saltwater test
Epsom salt isn't just great for getting rid of sore muscles. A while ago, Bryson DeChambeau made some waves for his creative method for testing the balance of his golf balls. Golfers have been doing this for a while, but he went on to win the U.S. Open with this golfing hack.
