Yogaslackers Slackline Kit makes it easy to practice acrobatic yoga

YogaSlackers ~ eLine Slackline set up REVISED (2013)
The Yogaslackers Eline Slackline Kit is perfect for beginners — and requires minimal setup time. 

Yogaslackers is a diverse group of athletes bound by the unique combined principles of yoga, slacklining, acroyoga, adventure, and conditioning. The company serves to teach its methods around the world, offering a variety of classes, tutorials, and related products.

The Slackline kit provides for everything you need to learn slackline yoga and unlike traditional slackline kits, it does not require a heavy ratchet or massive tension for set up. Just two trees and a few minutes of your time are needed.

The versatile 1-inch product is constructed of tubular polyester and made for lightweight and easy transport. The fiber is weather-resistant, making for worry-free exposure to sun and water. The product is designed for one person to set up on their own, using friction as the only tightening mechanism.

In order to set up the slack line, the anchor piece is girth-hitched around one tree while the slackline is girth-hitched to an opposing tree anywhere from 15 to 50 feet away. The slackline is brought to within two feet of the anchor piece, a locking carabiner is attached to the line, then z-drag is created between the anchor and the line, allowing for easy tightening or loosening as desired.

It is recommended to read the directions and watch the instructional setup video before slacking, but once the process is dialed in, it can be utilized with ease every time.

The Slackline was engineered with beginners in mind, providing for lower tension to enable safe and easy sitting, kneeling, or standing. The product is great for practicing both static and dynamic yoga movements. The kit includes three locking carabiners, one line lock, a 15-meter slackline, two tree protectors, a mesh storage bag, and instructions.

The Yogaslackers Eline SlackLine Kit retails for $120 on the company’s website.

Goodbye, coolers. The EcoFlow Glacier doesn’t need ice — it makes it
The EcoFlow Glacier is a fridge shaped like a cooler with its own battery,

Every cooler operates on borrowed time. It leaves for your camping trip brimming over with crisp produce and ice-encrusted beer that looks straight out of a Super Bowl commercial, and returns with a soggy block of foil-wrapped cheddar cheese floating in a pool of mustard water. Mother Nature always wins.

Perhaps that’s why I was so enamored when I saw the EcoFlow Glacier at CES 2023. Less a cooler than a mobile battery-powered fridge on wheels, the sleek electric Glacier not only obviated the need for ice, it would make ice for me in 18 minutes. My home fridge can’t even do that, and I didn’t even know I wanted it to until just now. When EcoFlow offered to let me try the Glacier, I envisioned sipping a perspiring glass of whiskey in the tropics and accepted the occupational hazards of my job.

I was wrong. E-bikes are so practical, they’re a transit cheat code
An Aventon Level 2 ebike sits outside a grocery store.

Confession: Despite loving both bikes and gadgets, e-bikes never excited me. Compared to my bicycle, e-bikes seemed unfair. Compared to my motorcycle, they seemed slow. Compared to my car, they seemed impractical.

But with $1,500 federal e-bike rebates potentially on the horizon at part of E-Bike Act, I decided it was past time to reconsider. Not just because 30% off would make them way more accessible, but because the entire idea that e-bikes could be worthy of a rebate changed the way I looked at them: less as toys, more as transit. Had I written off an entire way of getting around because I was looking at it the wrong way?
