Three More Gadgets We Love

 Hey Y'all!

We've been full time for about 6 weeks now, and we've got more great gadgets to share!


Just a reminder of our previous picks:

We've got three more to add to the list!

1) Power!

We chose this one:

Eco Flow Delta Mini-

https://us.ecoflow.com/products/delta-mini-portable-power-station?variant=39976376434761


Delta is little (roughly 15x7x9), fairly lightweight at 23lbs, doesn't take up a ton of space, has plenty of power for our needs (1400W), and got great reviews. So far it's serving our needs very well, and charges quickly. We also liked the price point on this one, and got an even better deal than the sale price on eBay. 
We've yet to use our 220W solar panels, so there's no mini review on them yet, but they're one of the many no name brand type (Dokio) you can find just about anywhere online. Ours was another eBay purchase.


2) Laptop!

We chose Asus TUF A17 Gaming Laptops, simply because specs vs price they were the best deal. 

  • The ASUS TUF Gaming A17 is driven by the AMD Ryzen 9-7940HS processor, featuring 8 cores with a turbo boost of up to 5.20 GHz and 16 MB cache.
  • Paired with the dedicated GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics, it ensures smooth gaming and multitasking experiences.
  • Enjoy gaming on a 17.3" Full HD display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, delivering crisp and fluid visuals.
  • The ASUS TUF Gaming A17 is equipped with a range of ports to enhance connectivity. Features include Type C USB 4 with DisplayPort support, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C supporting DisplayPort, power delivery, and G-SYNC, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1 FRL, RJ-45 for 1Gbps Ethernet, and a 3.5mm Combo Audio Jack, ensuring you're well-connected for various devices.
  • Up to 64GB DDR5 RAM is designed for basic tasks, the high-bandwith DDR4 RAM run your applications smoothly, as well as multiple programs and files all at once. Up to 4TB SSD storage capacity is suitable for saving all your files and provides enough space to save more data.

We want to use them for: blogging, watching TV, video and photo storage and editing, gaming, etc. Chris did a lot of research before choosing, and ordered from Newegg. I'd recommend continually checking the price before purchase. We got them cheaper than either of the two prices it displayed while researching this blog.


3) This last one is a cheap, simple tool that we find we're using multiple times per day:

Craftsman Fixed Folding Utility Knife-

https://www.craftsman.com/collections/knives-and-blades/products/cmht10930


At around $10 USD at most retailers, we liked the price first and foremost. We also like the foldability, and how compact this item is. We use it for opening packages, bags, and food items, as well as just about any and everything you'd use a knife for. We've also used it to cut up/slice our food in a pinch (after sanitizing, lol). 

Which of these was your favorite?

Thanks,

Places We've Been/Things We've Done- March & April

Image
 Hey Y'all, So, what have we been doing? Some of it we've shared here in the blog (Like our first Loves RV stay) some we've shared on our social media accounts: linktr.ee/outlandadventures We started out March in NE Ohio, Chris' best friend (more like family really, and that's how we generally refer to them) had just had surgery on his ankle. We visited with them, attended a basketball game, a dance competition, several parks, played bingo, went to Quality Inn with an entire indoor play area with pools, hot tub, mini golf, arcade, and various play areas. I'm sure there was more, but those were the highlights! After we left them we spent a few days in Findley State Park, before heading further west, we spent a night in Delphos, OH... Pretty area, but the weather didn't really cooperate enough to enjoy outdoor recreation. That brings us to April... From there we traveled onward, crossed the state line, and spent a week in Decatur, Indiana.  While there we enjo...

Our Favorite Places Thus Far (Updated) TOP 5

Image
 Hey Y'all! This is a bit of a filler blog, because while we've been places we've liked nothing so far has beat these five. Honorable mention to the latest museums, we really enjoyed them all. Both Jonesborough, and Greeneville TN are awesome (Lost State of Franklin) and we highly recommend them too.   We've been fortunate to have seen quite a few sights these past few months, here's our top 5!  There were so many cool things, and places coming up with just five favorites was harder than expected. Working from 5, and in order we'll start with... 5)  Athens Veterans Museum - Welcome to the Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives. Located in Athens Alabama, we are proud to be a part of our military history with a large exhibit center, guided tours provided by local veterans, gift shop, meeting facilities, monthly coffee call and much more . The Alabama Veterans Museum & Archives collection contains an impressive display of artifacts from the Revolutionary War unt...

Our Favorite Things/Places/Experiences This Past Month

Image
 Hey Y'all! We were fortunate to do/see a lot of different places this past month. We traveled from NE Ohio, through OH and KY, where we spent a day in Corbin, and then onto NE Tennessee, we took a few days in Bristol, VA, and spent a week in the great outdoors at the quiet, serene Mammoth Ridge near Greeneville. In-between trips in TN we stayed at my mom's and did the whole doctors appointments and scans thing, again. PLACE- While in Ohio we really had a blast, and there's so much to share there it'll be a couple of videos, very soon. Our favorites were the haunted attractions, and getting to cross another National Park off our list with Cuyahoga Valley National Park . Brandywine Falls History runs deep in the valley, with over 12,000 years of human occupation. From the unwritten stories of pre-contact peoples to the environmental disasters and comebacks of modern times, humans have left an impact on the valley. Here along the Cuyahoga River, humans have used, shaped, ...
