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.

Pirelli unveils the Scorpion XTM AT, its most extreme all-terrain tire ever
Ultra-aggressive, advanced, and 3PMSF-rated, it's the pinnacle of more than 25 years of Pirelli tire design

Forget rooftop tents and hi-lift jacks and fancy LED light bars, there's arguably nothing more important to a properly kitted-out overlanding rig than a good set of tires. After all, your truck's tires are the only part of the vehicle that maintains constant contact with the ground. That's why you need a tire that balances easy, on-pavement driving with meeting the demands of more extreme off-road conditions. Enter: Pirelli's new Scorpion XTM all-terrain tire.

"XTM" stands for "Extreme" performance, so it's no surprise that this is Pirelli's most extreme all-terrain tire ever. It features ultra-aggressive styling, a high-void tread pattern, and more advanced technology that's purpose-built for truck and off-road enthusiasts looking to explore deep into the North American backcountry. The large-tread-block design extends into the upper sidewall for improved traction and durability. It's a design that excels in the gnarliest off-road conditions most overlanders are likely to encounter, such as mud, dirt, sand, or gravel. Plus, reinforced shoulder technology adds protection from obstacles, including sharp gravel and jagged rock overhangs. One especially clever feature is the Scorpion XTM's built-in "rock ejectors," which are designed to automatically shed rocks embedded in the tire's deep treads.

Should you go hiking in sandals? It depends
Hiking in sandals: When to do it and how to find the best fit
Man hiking in sandals

Have you ever trudged through a trail, feet sweaty from unbreathable shoes? I certainly have. Believe it or not, sandals aren't just for the beach. They're actually a legit hiking option if you have the right pair and use them in the right scenarios. Honestly, I'm more of a trail running shoe or hiking shoe kind of gal, but there are specific scenarios when I might be tempted to trade them for a pair of sandals. And there are times when wearing sandals while hiking makes sense and times when they don't. Here's everything you need to know about hiking in sandals and how to find the best pair for your hiking needs.
Here's when hiking in sandals makes sense
Warm and dry conditions

When I lived in Arizona, hiking with my hiking boots or even my precious trail running shoes was a bit uncomfortable. For one, warm and dry conditions left my feet feeling confined and, ultimately, gross. One of the best parts of the day was heading home and washing my feet. That's when I was first introduced to the idea of hiking in sandals. Sandals will keep your feet ventilated, letting sweat evaporate fast. You may even find that you get fewer blisters throughout the season. Just make sure that you apply sunscreen so you don't get an unintentional tattoo of your sandal straps.
Wet conditions
While there's nothing wrong with wearing good water-repellant shoes while hiking in wet conditions, they can get soggy and take forever to dry if you end up accidentally stepping in too deep a puddle. Sandals tend to dry much faster than hiking boots or sneakers, so bring them on trails where you can expect stream crossings or coastal paths.
Low-impact trails
If you're planning on going on a low-impact hiking trail, particularly a paved one, you won't need heavy-duty hiking shoes. Sandals will be lighter on your feet, and the trail is easier, so there's less of a need for support or protection.

Camping's popularity continues to grow, and outdoor enthusiasts are seeking less crowded solutions, from off-grid dispersed camping to luxury glamping. As a full-time traveler, I can attest that farm camping strikes the perfect balance between the two. I've camped in a lavender farm nestled in the California hills, an apple orchard in the heart of New England, and in an Airstream in Washington state's lush rainforest. These alternatives offer the natural respite of a campsite with the authentic charm of farm life.
Are you wondering how to find the perfect farm camping stay and what to expect once you get there? Here's everything you need to know to find and book the perfect farm-side experience.
