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.

About
Matador is a proudly bootstrapped start-up nestled in the colorful recreational mecca of Boulder, Colorado. With their launch in 2014, they created a brand new market niche–packable adventure gear. Each product is designed in house by a team of passionate adventurers and then thoroughly put to the test in the great outdoors.
Going to a food festival is always a great opportunity. Being able to test a new type of camera while there is basically icing on the cake. In this case, it was the Insta360 Nano. The Insta360 shoots pictures and HD video in 360 degrees. The images can be used in Virtual Reality (VR) goggles, as well as on sites such as YouTube.
A food festival like Eat Drink SF is the perfect place, because you have a wide variety of food and drink, and lot of people and places to capture.
We set up our camera at various partner tables around the event, and produced short 30 second 360 degree videos from each. The quality of the initial videos were impressive, although we have to admit that after editing, export, and upload to YouTube they did lose a fair amount of resolution.
If you couldn’t go, or even if you could, take a look at what we saw.
