Trestle Aeropress K-cup Adapter
Let me ask you a question: are you really an overlander if you haven’t added aftermarket parts to your Aeropress? The Trestle Aeropress K-cup adaptor allows you to utilize K-cup coffee pods with your trusty coffee syringe. Advantages? Well, to start, K-cups are pre-portioned and pre-ground which makes measuring or adjusting the coarseness of your beans a thing of the past. They are also offered in a huge variety of roasts from many well-known coffee companies and can be purchased at most major food stores.

The Earthling Co Solid Dish Soap
An interesting and intelligent trend that I have seen in the last few years is the reimagining of liquid cleaning products. As it turns out, concentrated solids have a smaller environmental footprint to ship versus big heavy bottles of liquid. Using solid cleaning products also helps you avoid spills and sticky bottles. And when it comes to vehicle-based travel, you may be acutely aware of how frustrating it can be to find that any liquids (cleaning or otherwise) have spilled while in transit to your campsite. This is where I think The Earthling Co’s solid dish soap is brilliant. One solid bar of dish washing soap can replace two-three bottles of liquid, lasting up to six months. It’s made in the USA and The Earthling Co donates 1 percent of their sales through 1% For The Planet.

The newest off-grid power solution from EcoFlow is the Delta Pro and at first glance, it looks like a pretty incredible power station, with some major differences from the standard Delta.

The unit has a massive 3.6 kilowatt-hour battery which can be expanded (with external battery modules) to a maximum 25-kilowatt-hour capacity. The Delta Pro charges extremely fast with its proprietary X-Stream charging system that can pull in up to 4,200 watts of AC power.
