MEEPO Go

MEEPO Go Review: A Fast, Stable, 1500W Electric Skateboard Perfect for Heavier Riders

After well over 100 miles on the MEEPO V3 MAX and feeling like a fairly skilled intermediate-level rider, I still have plenty of fun and room to push for new skill sets on that board. Cruising and even light carving at 20 mph are now commonplace on my rides. Even so, I never thought much about my size until I received the MEEPO Go for review. The V3 Max is rated for riders up to 330 pounds, and as someone who is 6’5″ and 240+ pounds, or 195 cm and 110 kg+ for my metric friends, that makes sense.

Squirrel deterrent may be required, but it’s a really fun way to see birds up close and personal!

Magic Eagle Eaglecam 5: A No-SIM 4G Trail Camera With Solar Power, Live Video, and Smart AI Tracking

Living about thirty miles from my property means I can’t always slip away to check on hunting spots or cattle. Trail cameras do the heavy lifting for me, and lately, the Magic Eagle EagleCam 5 has been my go-to set of eyes in the field. It’s a smart 4G camera that doesn’t require a SIM card, which feels a bit like wizardry until you realize it’s using SignalSync to automatically latch onto whichever local carrier has the strongest signal. The connection setup took only a moment, and it has stayed reliably strong for months.
