OK, now that things are opening up, you can probably leave your house and get some air! Whew! Do it smart and safe, please!

Part of that is making sure you carry your own power for your phone. I think it’ll be awhile till you can plug in at the local restaurant or pub. And of course of you are on a trail, or beach, you’ll need a solid option as well.

And if you are powering things like a Sound Devices MixPre 3ii, or a Rodecaster Pro mixing deck for your podcast, you’ll want to show up contained, with no need to rely on power outlets. (Yes, pretty specific, but these will be covered in future posts. Best podcasting tools)

Here are some solid options for you from Mophie (big sale right now!) and MyCharge.

This first one is in my bag for all walk around: fast charge, small footprint no extra cables needed, fully contained. The MyCharge Turbo.

Now this unit from Mophie, has a hefty 20,000 mAh, for powering up your larger devices . 3 ports, so you can do multiples and help a friend. And at $40, ending today 5-21-2020, you can’t go wrong. Supply your own cables.

If you’re hitting the trail, camping out, or getting wet, this is the call from MyCharge.

Also for the camper, and quite honestly, if you are building a Go Bag, this need to be in it! The MyCharge Camping Lantern: Compact, powerful and continuous light, when needed.

These are just a few of my favorites. Many companies make these, and you just need to make sure you buy a reputable brand. I’ve had some bad experiences with off-brands and overheating. Anker and RAVPOWER also make quality products and you should consider their products as well.
