AOPA Turbine Pilot Magazine - November 2024 - 75

Wilderdog Pet Sleeping Bag
AOPA staffers love their pets. Before the pandemic,
we had bring your dog to work days and one of the
favorites in the publications department was Editor
at Large Dave Hirschman's yellow lab, Yolo (You Only
Live Once). He was a dropout from the search dog
foundation that Hirschman's mother started in California
(searchdogfoundation.org) but it wasn't because Yolo was
a bad dog, he was just an easily distracted dog (squirrel!).
And he was a loving gentlemanly dog whom we all miss.
I wish Yolo could have had this sleeping bag. A dog's
very own sleeping bag, the Wilderdog Sleeping Bag is
the perfect setup for your favorite tent hog. Your dog
will know their place wherever you are. The Wilderdog
Sleeping Bag unzips three-quarters of the way around
to flatten out for double the sprawl space or you can zip
it up to let Fido burrow in. It's made of durable ripstop
polyester outer lining and a soft inner lining.

Richhorse Down Blanket
Camping Quilt
AOPA Director of Photography Chris
Rose curated many of the products chosen
for this guide. He's known around the
offices for his impeccable taste and eye
for quality. He also is an Amazon super
shopper. He found this portable, puffy
blanket designed for easy packing and
carrying online from a company called
Richhorse. Richhorse was founded in
2018 by a group of adventure enthusiasts
looking for outdoor thermal equipment.
Enjoy the warmth and coziness without
the burden of heavy luggage (in its carry
bag, the blanket weighs just under one
pound). The 700-fill duck down camping
blanket is made from high-quality 20D
400T ripstop nylon shell and waterresistant
finish. If you feel like sharing
the comfort, there are snap buttons for
you and a friend to snuggle together.

My Go Flight Dual Digital Power
Bank Backup Battery
I'm going to let this review on the
company website sum up why this
battery charger is cool for pilots: " I am
very pleased with this power bank.
After making two 2-hour flights with
it powering my GoPro, it still had 39
percent charge remaining. Even better,
after a 2-hour flight today, the GoPro
battery was still at 100 percent. " Having
spent time with AOPA photographers
and their GoPros, this is a fine testimony
indeed. The Dual Digital Power Bank
is a one-stop solution for keeping
all your portable devices charged. It
eliminates the need to carry spare
cables and power bricks with this allin-one
10,000 mAh power bank. The
multi-device charging system features a
built-in AC plug that acts to charge the
power bank, or as a wall brick for your
devices. The power bank also features
two USB ports to support charging
for any other connection types.

MIER Large Waterproof Duffel
Bag Rolltop Dry Duffle Backpack
Seaplane pilots take note: Keep your
gear safe and dry with a MIER dry
duffle backpack. This lightweight bag is
100-percent waterproof and sandproof
because of its abrasion-resistant and
water-repellent tarpaulin (you may know
this better as " tarp " ) material and fully
welded seams. It has a waterproof level of
IPX-7 (IPX is a waterproof rating scale).
The bag has multiple pockets, including
a waterproof zipper front pocket, an
internal zipper pocket, and two inner
mesh pockets, to easily organize items.
The large main compartment can hold
everything you need for your trip. The
bag is available in 60L and 80L sizes.
The velcro large opening makes it easy
to access gear and keep it dry and safe.
Plus, with seven different color choices,
you can show off your personality and
stand out in the crowd (that's what the
company website says anyway...).
