Welcome back to another camping review it’s kind of a camping gear review and so today I wanted to cover a collapsible electric kettle and people go whoa you’re camping well this is true but keep in mind that camping can be in a tent it could be in a cabin it could be in a yurt it could be an RV it could be you know technically you could camp outside and but sleep in your car you got lots of options and so right now I mean I’m in a cabin out in a remote area of Oregon for example.

i mac or something right so this is what it looks like this is pretty simple right pretty small you can see it’s got a nice thin footprint just a simple little cable this right here is the handle so you can pour it okay so first things first is you take this little handle off and so there’s a little teeny we’ll call it’s like a bump and you it’s silicon like a little silicone bump and you push down and that comes off this is a little lid see it’s very simple now you take this and you just hold it like right here and you just pull up on both sides so now you have a kettle okay and so if you look on this lid is a little flat area that’s so you can pour the water so you put that with the flat area towards the spout

and now you got this little handle and if you look here there’s a little hole so this just slides in there and it just clips on right there okay so you just take this and you just kind of let’s see just pop it in like that you see you want to keep it up high right so you make sure that’s fully expanded so now you have a fully expanded kettle right it’s not nice you just take this cable here

and you plug it in

and that’s it you can see how easy that is right so this will make several cups of water I recommend that you probably only boil you know one to one and a half cups you know I keep i wouldn’t take the water too much off of here because it’s you know I mean this is a small little footprint so it’s not made to do a ton of water oh I just made some water with this and I made myself a hot cup of tea and let’s just and i actually made this maybe five minutes ago and so it’s been sitting here all this whole time

it’s still very hot so this water gets very very hot so please be careful when you’re making the water so now we’re just going to take it apart

so you take that cable off just kind of fold it up now I have a little like a little tie I put around here so we’re going to just take this lid off real quick remember you got that little hole and do that there’s this little silicon lip here push down pop off the handle

and now so let’s show you that’s what it looks like on the inside and so now you can just slowly kind of fold it in and it’s pretty simple pretty quick right and it just goes down like that look how small that is right isn’t that great this handle just kind of sits in you know like sideways so

let’s see so you just sort of pushed it up like that the handle sits there you just put the lid on top it’s a little baggy so it protects it take the little cord just pop it in there just kind of put it down on the side so you don’t lose your fat footprint just tie this up right there and there you go isn’t that nice seven minutes I showed you how to put it together take it apart and you could have already made hot water by now so that’s just that’s how easy it is to use this so we’re gonna put the name of this foldable kettle uh down below so you can copy and paste it and you can put it into amazon

okay so I’m going to grab this

this is kind of the because it’s kind of a weird name so it’s louty 2o

there’s your information this one obviously is blue and white and technically it says 555 milliliters

and it’s got their email on the back it’s got louty 200 for the company so you can look this is a handy little and you may find something better and if you do please put that in the comments as well we actually found this that was being made out of Asia and she ordered this and it was just it’s so handy it’s so great I had to share it with all of you so here’s your little direction book it so again that’s the name so you can put it into the amazon search bar there so we just put it back into the little bag

just kind of

there you go

there’s your uh a collapsible electric kettle right make sure like share click the bell down below and put your comments until next time, everyone, this is explore traveler john gentry travel on everyone

Episode 13 – Travel observations in the Pacific Northwest

well hello everyone welcomes back to another episode of the explore traveler show your host john gentry here i hope everybody has been enjoying their fall so so far and now that October is behind us and we’re moving into November towards the end of fall going towards the beginning of winter i figured i’d just tell people some of my observations i’ve been traveling around the pacific northwest, for the most part, Oregon and Washington state and there have been differences between the two and it’s obvious it depends on where you go withinside each state but i think i mentioned in my last podcast how i came up through nevada into oregon and there was a very noticeable change and by the time i got to Klamath falls oregon i noticed that people were

using i think the mask in an unusual fashion right so it’s one thing you see people in a large group standing in line for walmart or whatever wearing a mask you know they’re concerned about catching a communal disease there’s some logic to that right however i started seeing people just walking out in the countryside in different state parks and they were wearing a mask but they were they were by themselves and they were outside they weren’t even walking their dog so i and i just saw one or two of those you know and once i got into the klamath fall areas but it sort of kind of um it caught me off guard um because coming up even you know new mexico has been pretty heavy-handed on some of their um regulations and you see that but it you know is rare right even in the albuquerque area it

wasn’t like super common to see stuff like that but you know as soon as i’m drive across the border into a new state all of a sudden i i see the changes there in oregon so i thought well maybe it’s not you know maybe it’s not too common right so i know i continue on i go in through medford i go over to the coast and i drive all the way up and untraveled all the way you know into the portland area and the suburbs and towns around portland but then i noticed you know the closer you get to portland the more likely you are to see people um just walking around outside by themselves um wearing masks and so i started asking questions and they were like well there is technically a rule with inside organ it’s a state it’s not a law it’s like um a regulation or like some form of uh they call it mandates but that’s what they say publicly but if you actually look deeper the way their legal language is it’s basically like a departmental rule right and so basically i guess if you are outside in an area where you are possible to be maybe i think they’re they’re they’re basically saying crowded type possibilities um they’re asking you to wear you know the mask so i think that’s how it started but there is a percentage of the population in oregon that appears to just wear it all the time i see people um wearing it by themselves as they drive in their car i see that quite often and i think some people are just forgetting that they have it on but it’s much more common in oregon than i saw it in colorado or utah or nevada or new mexico or texas you know so it’s the worst i’ve seen so far and i think the reason why i bring it up is you know we’re all about traveling and exploring and having a healthy lifestyle and you cannot have an effective healthy lifestyle if you are in the mental state where you feel you need to wear a mask by yourself in the middle of nowhere probably not a healthy

a healthy thing to have going on in your life so if that is you you know just think about it um i’m not really criticizing per se but i do worry about people’s mental health with everything that’s going on and i want people to be healthy and happy and i i think getting outdoors and enjoying the fresh air that nature gives us and using trails and you know we’re not abusing nature we’re just interacting with it in a way that um you know doesn’t leave trash doesn’t leave pollution and we’re enjoying it right and we’re going around we’re observing you know humanity’s past through his history and anthropology and you know just going on you know nice walks with our family and friends or sometimes even by ourselves so that’s kind of you know that’s what we’re about here explore traveler and explore traveler.com and we want that to be something that we encourage people to do and you know you can’t let over exaggerations and propaganda to the point and i don’t care where it’s coming from you know people say oh you know it’s for the right oh it’s for the left propaganda comes from everywhere and it comes from advertisements comes from companies it comes from governments so it’s everywhere but we have to pay enough of an attention that we know when we’re you know starting to consume propaganda right we probably should assume that it’s propaganda first check it out and then you know verify right and oregon and washington state
