Bluetti AC180 Review: Three Years of Real Use as a Content Creator and Camper
The Bluetti AC180 is a great option for vehicle camping and hunt camps. Quick note before we get into it: Bluetti has officially discontinued the AC180 on their website. That said, it is still available through retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Home Depot, often at a discount. If you find one on sale, this review will tell you exactly what you are getting into. And if you are considering the newer AC180T as an alternative, I will touch on that at the end. I have been runnin

Bluetti AC70 After 45 Days: What I Actually Think About This Power Station
The AC70 has enough power to get a group of campers through the weekend, Bluetti sent me the AC70 to use and review honestly. No other arrangement, just the unit. I have been running it for 45 days as my primary power source across camping trips and on the road in Ontario. Here is what I actually think. I also own and use the AC180, so this review comes with a direct comparison built in. That context matters because the question most people are actually asking is not just "is

Pomoly Locomotive 20: Is This Chimney Tent Worth It?
The Locomotive 20 offers a winter camping experience in a sleek package. Since I originally reviewed this tent Pomoly has released the Locomotive 3 as the updated version in this series. If you are shopping new the Locomotive 3 is worth a look. That said the Locomotive 20 is still available and everything in this review still applies. The Pomoly Locomotive 20 Chimney Tent, an interesting contender in the small tent market, offers some advantages for those wanting to keep the

Pomoly Circle 6 Tent Review: My Honest Take After a Full Ontario Fall and Winter
I would recommend this tent... with a caveat. The Pomoly Circle 6 is a flared conical hot tent that swaps the traditional centre pole for a rigid hoop system. On paper that sounds like a minor design tweak. In practice it changes the whole feel of the tent. I used this one through fall and into winter across Ontario, including a stretch of trips out of Thunder Bay, and it gave me a pretty thorough look at what it can and can't do. Short version: it's a genuinely great tent wi

It features a stove jack compatible with any of Pomoly's wood stoves, mesh doors at either end for a cross breeze during the warmer months, and a 2500mm waterproof rating which sheds water well, based on the rainst

Pomoly Dweller Max 3: A Detailed Outdoor Stove Review
The Dweller Max 3 is a large camping woodstove designed to be used in the coldest conditions The Pomoly Dweller Max 3 is what I would consider a product for outdoor enthusiasts who cherish the warmth and functionality of a "portable" wood stove during their adventures. Crafted from what I consider to be durable materials, this is one of the more powerful stoves the company has to offer. To do it justice, the Dweller Max 3 was put through the rigors of a Canadian winter to see
