Portable Power Station Review (Jackery Explorer 240), Promo Codes, and Giveaway

November 24, 2018VideosTristan

Jackery makes portable power supply products. They sent me the Explorer 240 portable power station to try out, and this video includes my thoughts on the product. If you want a big ol’ portable battery to run and charge your phone, tablet, lights, laptop, etc., this is a great product. One great thing about it is that it comes with a car charger, so you can recharge the power station while you’re traveling. Let me know if you have any questions. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

The $20 Road Trip Challenge

November 21, 2018VideosTristan

What kind of road trip can you go on for $20? This video is my take on that challenge. Go on your own $20 road trip, make a video about it, and send me the link. I’ll then share it here and in the video description. (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Note that this video was filmed just a couple of weeks ago. I have a lot of videos ready to be published that I filmed over the summer, but I wanted to share this one sooner because I wanted to give people a chance to do their $20 road trip before winter sets in for good.
