The AC200L comes with a 2,048Wh battery, but you can expand it by adding more of Bluetti’s B300K or B210 batteries, thus giving you extra juice when you need it, or you can always remove it if you want to be more mobile.

BUY NOWHALO Versa 16 Outdoor Pizza Oven
It’s safe to say that pizza is one of the more beloved food choices around the world, but ordering it all the time can get expensive, so how about you try making your own at home? Obviously, that would require you to have a pizza oven, and that’s where the HALO Versa 16 outdoor pizza oven comes in handy.
This is a pizza oven that’s small enough to take with you on the road or to place in your backyard. It features a 16-inch Cordierite rotating cooking stone and a dual burner system – a back burner and under-the-stone infrared burner – that will ensure a consistent cooking experience. Also, while it is advertised as a pizza oven, feel free to use it to cook other things including steak, vegetables, and more.
Turtle Shell 4.0 Portable Rugged Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
One of the joys of camping outdoors or going on a road trip is enjoying music together with friends or family members.

It is an IPX7 rated speaker so getting it wet shouldn’t be an issue.
The Turtle Shell 4.0 also sports 360-degree sound as well as daisy-chaining. The company claims that it supports as many as up to 50 speakers at once. We doubt that most of us will buy that many Turtle Shell speakers, but basically, if you or your friends have several of them lying around, you can daisy-chain them together to create that wall of sound.
