Keep your devices juiced up when traveling or going off the grid.

All of us love talking about new iPhones and Macbooks that come out every year.
Every corner of our life today is filled with technology — smartphones, earbuds, headphones, smartwatches, laptops, computers, etc. Different devices solve different problems.
However, there’s one thing that’s common across all devices — power.
Every device you possess requires some means of charging. That means, without careful thought, the number of chargers and cables will proportionally increase with every new device you purchase.
Well, at least that’s what happened to me last year, when every time I traveled I was carrying the following things with me:
- Personal laptop — MacBook Pro 16
- Work laptop — MacBook Pro 16
- Phone — iPhone 12
- Tablet — iPad Pro 12.9-inch
- Watch — Apple Watch SE
- Earbuds — AirPods Pro
- Headphones — Sony MX3
- Drone — DJI Mini 3
That’s 8 devices every time I travel! 8 things that require charging most days.
