Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for July. That winning theme is Cheap Outdoor Gadgets.

Chad’s 3^rd Cheap Outdoor gadget is the Hydrapeak 25oz Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Thermos Food Jar

From Amazon: Hydrapeak’s double wall vacuum insulation technology helps their insulated food container keep contents HOT for 10 HOURS, and COLD for 16 HOURS. Made of high grade 18/8 stainless steel with a durable powder coating in tons of eye catching colors. The insulated food jar’s wide mouth gives you easy access to whatever you put inside, while the integrated sturdy folding handle allows for effortless carrying.

And Chad’s take: Chad thought this was not a crappy gadget. And you’re see him test it by filling it with ice cream and then opening the container on the show 4 hours later. Was the ice cream still hard? Watch this week’s show to learn the answer. Chad also said to carefully the price if you order one. They range from under $20 to over $30 and the price changes depending not only on the size of the container, but on the color you choose.

Chad paid under $20 (for the cream color 25 oz Hydrapeak     Amazon: https://amzn.to/3OlUDuu

Our Gadget Warehouse Video Submission email this week is from Richard Vega. He writes:

Here’s another video, this one from our Grandson Marc. He’s gone from sky to the director & narrator.

The Treasure X Gold Dissection kits are all the rage for his age group. (5+)

It was a twenty minute project, so I edited the video as best I could.

Letter of the week from Steve C who writes:

Hi Dickie De and Chad,

You guys use Amazon a lot to order stuff and compare prices but have you heard of Nellis Auctions where they auction off all the stuff that’s returned due to the goons at UPS smashing it up, it was ordered by mistake or not wanted or they used it until they got tired and sent it back? Nellis is a HUGE operation based in Nevada with 2 warehouses in the Las Vegas area, 1 in Texas and 2 here in Phoenix that are at least 1/4 mile long!  They auction about 15,000 different items EVERY DAY!

You can find everything under the sun on there such as fridges, washers and dryers, home grown mushroom kits, solar panels (UPS really loves to smash up solar panels but sometimes one makes it through with just a few dents), computers, furniture, dog toys, scooters, car parts and just about anything Amazon sells! Items generally sell for 1/3 to 1/2 of the regular price but everything starts at $1 so sometimes you can get an item for $1 or just 1/10 of the regular price. I recently picked up a nice Dell laptop for $43, a Lenovo desktop for $31 and a new set of seat covers for the car for $11!

They have photos of the items but it’s still difficult to tell what the condition is like sometimes until you get the box and open it up. In a way it’s like Storage Wars when they are bidding on a room full of cardboard boxes then have to open them up to see what they got!

They do let you return items though, within reason, or cancel something that was bought by mistake, then you have a week to pick up purchases or they will be relisted for the next auction since they don’t deliver.

I don’t know if there is anything similar back East but I suspect there must be.

Amazon just built another HUGH warehouse here just a few miles down the road from me so I suspect there will be more than 15,000 items up for bid pretty soon!
