Drinks on the go: This Airstream trailer houses a full bar, and you can rent it

A symbol of trailer travel for the better part of the last 50 years, an Airstream trailer is a timeless staple of road trips. Now, a company out of the United Kingdom has fashioned a 1970s-era model into a fully-stocked mobile bar. It’s dubbed the Apollo 70 Airstream Bar.

This genius bit of DIY work turned an Airstream Land Yacht into an event friendly transportable bar boasting a staggering amount of storage for beer, wine, and liquor. Despite it originating in Europe, the Apollo 70 Airstream Bar is available for events all over the globe.

Though the company behind this creation shared little in the way of the actual process, it appears as though Apollo 70 simply stripped the trailer’s interior completely before installing its own custom-made digs. From metal countertops to built-in refrigerators and freezers, the Airstream Bar has it all. In addition to the company providing the digs fully staffed, it also comes standard with a top-of-the-line surround sound system, satellite TV access, and customizable fiber optic ceiling with lighting capable of changing color as the renter sees fit.

“The most important part of any business, as you know, is its people,” read the Apollo 70 site. “We pride ourselves on being professional and courteous. Our team can fulfill any commitment with the assurance of being reliable and presentable. We have gone the extra mile to produce something extraordinary with our Land Yacht. Our remit was always to offer the best and we believe we have delivered. A 70s retro platform to enhance, excite and entertain. A vehicle to promote, launch or inspire using the most visual Airstream around.”

Equal parts retro trailer and modern bar, Apollo 70’s Airstream watering hole is about as hip as it gets for catered events. Aside from its high-quality construction, modern design, and the fact it boasts all the fixings capable of turning any function into a bonafide party, Apollo 70 remains incredibly dedicated to delivering a top-flight experience. Furthermore, it says it offers anything from Belgian chocolates to gourmet American street food. In other words, there’s nothing quite like the Apollo 70 Airstream Bar.

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?
