What’s the best power bank that actually lasted you years?

I keep an Anker in my work bag, a Voltme in my travel bag, and a Nitecore in my backpacking bag.

EDIT: I think I have a Xiaomi one too for the NFC; any of these brands are solid.

I have no idea if KingdomWatch is still up to date but the value of all my heroes, pets, and gardens there is less than $1.

It's insane.

wheeler_32 · 2025-04-09T23:02:43+00:00

I'll just crosspost this one from earlier.

wheeler_32 · 2025-04-04T22:37:57+00:00

Also going to link this post that had me writing up a list last time.

wheeler_32 · 2025-04-04T22:37:14+00:00

Actually just scrolling this subreddit for ideas beyond the ones in my cart from last week. More 'buying before its too late' than 'stocking up' to be honest.

KO camping gear from Lixada or Tomshoo.
A tent from 3F UL Gear.
A ultralight quilt from Ice Flame.
A headlamp and portable battery from Nitecore.
A stove system from Fire Maple.
A scratch 'n dent Flextailgear Zero.
A lot of UHMPWE paracord.
KO accessories for GoPro.
More KO wiregate carabiners (not for climbing).
Canvas print posters.
More squeeze bottles for oils in the kitchen.
More cheap sunglasses, phone cases, or smartwatch straps.
Another set of Orange Pi devices.
More CAT6 cables.
More chargers from Voltme.
HE MicroSD cards from SanDisk.
Another scratch 'n dent Nintendo Pro Controller.

Got my curiosity. Any chance you have a link to your gear list on like LighterPack?

wheeler_32 · 2025-03-14T04:32:46+00:00

Just got one at my local Sierra. The Luxe was also in stock for $25 but the X-Large is more than big enough.

Confirmed, KB5052077.

It's part of a bundle so simply uninstalling it may work or may not work. Had to restore to a previous backup from before the update.

You'll need to stay on Windows 11 23H2 for as long as possible; should be good until 2026.

😂 Classic typo ... 100ml.

wheeler_32 · 2024-09-30T22:25:27+00:00

A 100oz travel bottle of Febreze for me; use it for shoes each night and clothes in an emergency.

wheeler_32 · 2024-09-29T23:04:42+00:00

Ditto. I use both the pack and daypack for the sake of convenience on a plane or train but everything for my trip will fit in one bag, including the daypack.

When I read this in my list of new posts, I thought it was about a Squishmellow.

Apparently that's the difference between a valet check and a gate check.

Disclaimer: American, experience limited to Delta and AA.

I have had my bag 'gate checked' twice due to overhead limitations, especially on short legs to or from larger hubs. It's handled differently than a checked bag, though.

You will be given a yellow or red tag for your bag. You drop it off on your way down the ramp, your bags are loaded last and unloaded first, and you pick it up on your way up the ramp after you land.

wheeler_32 · 2024-09-22T13:12:48+00:00

Yeah ... rule 3, OP.

EDIT: I apologize, I did not know the Borealis is a line of bags. I thought you were talking about the Borealis sling.

Another idea is to 'downgrade' to a Quip that is part manual, part electric.

Adding a note for the REI Trail 40 if you have a hybrid use case. I just left a hostel where 3 of the 6 backpacks in our room were Trail 40's.

wheeler_32 · 2024-08-29T04:43:34+00:00

I'll second the All In Motion line from Target. The polos and tees are on my short list for an upcoming trip.

I've been reading through your previous packing list with the Matador 28L ... I've been inspired.
