Nomad Universal Cables were exactly what we hoped they would be. Ironically, they provide a solution for an itch that we didn’t know we could actually scratch. No more frayed cables, no more multiple power cords.
We often take civilization and running water for granted, but there are times when you may be short of both. This could be either when taking a trip into the wilderness or an underdeveloped region, or if affected by a natural disaster like an earthquake, fire or hurricane.
Fortunately, a little preparation can go a long way, and a new product such as the HydroLite Packable Filtration Backpack is a perfect tool to keep you hydrated with drinkable fresh water.
Whether it’s tap water in the Andes to a refill on your next trail run, clean drinking water is just a sip away with Matador’s new HydroLite Packable Filtration Backpack. The HydroLite is the first travel pack that filters water as you drink, providing 100,000 liters of clean drinking water over the life of one filter.
Matador has partnered with HydraPak® and Sawyer®, leaders in hydration and filtration technology, to integrate a technical water filter and hydration system into this packable backpack. HydroLite removes 99.99999% of bacteria and protozoa from any water source, but also packs down to the size of a standard 1L bottle for easy transport.
Most important to your health, the Hydrolite removes a wide range of nasty water-borne bugs, including salmonella, cholera, and E.coli, giardia and cryptosporidium.

Trying to keep your dishes clean and keeping green at the same time is very challenging, especially in drought stricken California. If you rinse the dishes beforehand, or scrub them individually, you risk using a lot of water. If you use a very effective detergent, then you risk introducing microbeads or some other form of environmental weapon into the ecosystem. Fortunately, we recently discovered Grab Green detergent pods. They are natural, convenient, and pre-measured in encapsulated pods. You simply place the pods one at a time in your dishwasher, and then run the washing cycle.
This particular product is interesting for three reasons. First they can be scented, for example with thyme and fig leaf aroma. This means the bag itself smells pleasant, and your dishwasher also might smell just as pleasant. Second, the ingredients that they use are selected specifically for effectiveness as well as for minimum environmental impact. The third reason is that it works. It works very well. It works surprisingly well.
We ran regular dirty dishes through two different dishwasher batches. We put one pod in each to see how they would perform. The dishes came out spotless both times. We were quite surprised. Not only did they come out spotless, they also came out a bit shiny and silky to the touch. We can’t remember the last time clean dishes came out shiny and with a brand-new finish on them.
Curious? Here are a few more interesting details:
Cleans greasy messes and tricky stains like red wine — all with environmentally friendly, natural ingredients
Comes in simple premeasured pods —just toss one in, switch your dishwasher on, and let our powerful pods do the work
Rinses completely — no more rinsing bowls and drinking glasses by hand (our detergent pods scored 4.8/5 for spotting and 4.6/5 for filming in lab tests!)
Gentle and safe for all your family’s dishes, including dishwasher-safe utensils, dishes, pots and pans, and enamel
Effective in hard or soft water — eliminates mineral buildup for truly clean, spot-free dishes
