Zero Breeze Mark 2 real off-grid AC being carried
Zero Breeze

Last summer, and most of last year, really, was one of the hottest on record. This year looks to be just as hot, so you’ll need a reliable way to cool down. The problem with that is that air conditioners are expensive. They’re expensive to install and run, and if you’re living off-grid, you can pretty much forget about AC at all — until now, anyway. ZERO BREEZE has introduced the first truly off-grid air conditioner that’s ultra-portable — at only 16.5 pounds — and battery-powered. The 24-volt battery can last up to eight hours in sleep mode, perfect for extended off-grid use or van-living. You can even connect solar panels or plug it into DC or AC outlets to boost battery life, if and when available. The handheld and lightweight design works exceptionally well for easy transportation and travel, so you can bring the Mark 2 wherever your adventures take you. Use code SPRING15 at checkout through ZERO BREEZE for a limited time to get 15% off your purchase — good from March 15 to March 21.

What can the ZERO BREEZE Mark 2 do for you?

Summer can be hot and clammy, and it can even get miserably wet if you live in a humid climate.  One of the trade-offs of staying off-grid is that you’re living more efficiently, which also means you’re interested in cutting down on power usage and comparable utilities. Even if that’s not your goal, and you’re just out for an adventure, you’ll have to make the same concessions. The wilderness is, well, the wilderness. But with the Mark 2, a portable, battery-powered AC unit, you can cool off anytime, anywhere.

There is no more wasting gas in your van or wearing down its battery, no more hot and suffocating tents or cabins, and no more overheating. You can simply cool down with the Mark 2 when you need to. The micro twin-cylinder compressor achieves an ideal balance between weight and performance, mainly because it’s the size of a soda can. It ensures efficient, reliable cooling without compromising portability. Indeed, the Mark 2 is portable at just 16.5 pounds, with a built-in carrying handle, convenient power options, and rapid cooling — it can lower the air outlet temperature by 30 degrees in just 10 minutes (2,300 BTUs).

Think about how hot and miserable it can get inside a tent or temporary living quarters at night, never mind during the daytime. The Mark 2 can make it comfortable in a matter of minutes. It can quickly go from being one of the most uncomfortable adventures you’ve ever had to one of the most memorable. And if you’re trying to cut back on fossil fuel energy usage, the solar option is a huge bonus.

From March 15 until March 21, you can get the Mark 2 at a reduced price of 15% off when you use code SPRING15 at checkout. Even without that incredible offer, now’s the best time to buy before it gets swelteringly hot. Do yourself a favor if you plan to spend any time outside exploring this summer: grab a Mark 2 and secure your comfort.

Bikepacking, more commonly known as bicycle touring, is a self-supported trip in which participants spend days, weeks, or even years traveling across regions, countries, and continents via bicycle. One of its greatest perks is the opportunity to explore amazing places.

Whether you’re traveling to a new city or region, there’s no better way to do this than on two wheels. You can cover more miles when pedaling using your bike shoes rather than walking and, unlike driving, you’re still connected to your environment -- no carbon footprint, just fresh air.

Dust off your gear, it’s time to hit the trail: The spring hiking tips you need
These tips will keep you safe and comfortable on the trail
A person hiking

I don't know about you, but I love the fact that spring is here, and I can hit the trail again. I went out the other day without having to load up in all of my outdoor layers and enjoyed a trail run along some snow-free tracks. It's that time of year when you can dust off your hiking boots, dig out your trekking poles, and start to make some hiking plans. But spring isn't all sunshine and dry tracks. A little like fall hiking, spring trails can be muddy, and some of the wettest, coldest days I've had on the trail have come in springtime. Maybe it's not quite a time to pack away all that warm gear after all.

Spring is changeable. That's what I'm getting at. It's perhaps the toughest time of the year to pack a hiking pack because, on any given day, you might need to change layers four times. The days are long enough to get a good hike done, but you can still find yourself caught out after dark if you're not careful, and once that sun drops, the temperature goes with it. In return, though, spring rewards us with those golden hours at sunrise and sunset — the outdoor photographer's dream — raging waterfalls as the snow melts off, and the sounds and sights of nature coming back to life after a winter's hibernation. It's great if you get it right, and if you follow our spring hiking tips, you won't go far off track.

Campfire cooking: This is the absolute best way to make a pot hanger
Make the most of campfire cooking with this ingenious pot hanger guide

Campfire cooking is an art form. Sure, you can always just skewer a sausage or a s'more and roast it directly over the heat, but with a little camping cooking gear, you can elevate your camp cooking to new heights. With the cooler nights of fall just around the corner, camp cooking becomes even more important, as you'll need the extra calories to stay warm overnight. There are plenty of styles of campfire cooking to explore, and a suspended pot over your fire is one of the most versatile.

By hanging a pot or a kettle over your fire, you can keep your dish away from direct heat, but retain a rolling boil or a gentle simmer. This means you can always have hot water ready and waiting for a cup of coffee, heat yourself a cowboy casserole of beans and ground beef to pour over a biscuit, or simmer a stew for a substantial meal under the stars.
