Will Ganss & I Have Play With Some Great Outdoor Gadgets!
(I’ll post a link once the spot airs on World News Now.)
I’m A Fan Of This Fan – It’s Folds To Fit In Your Pocket!
This is a very versatile fan, with a sort of strange Amazon name: JISULIFE . It’s folds small enough to fit into a pocket and it has a 4800 mAh battery that can double as an emergency phone charger. And a flashlight that can double as a task light as you’ll see on today’s show. After a full charge which takes 3-4 hours the company says it can get up to 46 fan hours at speed 1 (low), 35 hours at speed 2 (med.), and 13 hours at speed 3 (high). Maximum RPM’s is 3400 rpm which is enough for personal use to keep you cool. The Power Bank Function is 5V/1A which is slow, but probably enough in an emergency. The flashlight feature works when fan is not spinning since they both use the same button. The flashlight is quite bright the task lights works great too. With the included lanyard you can hang it on your wrist or travel backpack. Safety wise, if you touch the blades, the fan instantly stops! With feature plus surge and short circuit protection, this sounds like a handy, safe gadget. It was on sale for about $16.00 on 6/22/22, but you can check the latest price at the link below.

Another Great Cooling Gadget For the Hot Weather —
Spray Misty For Me!
It’s the Honhey Misting Pocket Fan, which can be used a handheld fan, a desk fan & a misting fan. It has 3 adjustable speeds provides 20 hours at low speed, 13 hours at medium speed and 6 hours for high speed according to Honhey. A long press of the power switch turns on the misting function. Then turn the fan on at the same time and the mister it will spray intermittently to extend the misting time. With a build-in 15ml water tank, it can be used for 1-1.5 hours when filled with water. You can connect the provided micro USB-cable to a power bank, computer, laptop, etc. for continuous operation. The company says it takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the 1500 mAh battery. Fan blades are made of a special soft material, so if you accidentally touch them, they will automatically stop. This will be great carry device for the on-coming hot weather. The kit includes the Portable Handheld fan, Micro-Charging cable, Water bottle(15ml), Lanyard and User manual. On Amazon it was about $16.00 on 6/19/22, but you can check the latests price below.

How Much Fun Can You Have With Foam? Will & I Had A Lot!
The Ultimate Foam Maker — Fomalnache from Fom Mania!
When Fom Mania saw a video we shot at the Time To Play Magazine Spring Toy Event they asked if I would like to try a Fömalanche myself. Of course I would! As you saw on World News Now, Fomalanche makes piles of light, airy foam you can run through, toss in the air or use to decorate things. It’s easy to set-up. You do need to put the 6 D batteries (not included) which requires removing 4 small Philips head screws. Mix one of the 3 bags of foam solution (they’re included) with water and it’s ready to foam! The company says Fömalanche creates enough foam to fill up 5 pickup trucks in 25 minutes. (Pick up trucks not included!) The Fom is said to be non-toxic and tear free. I didn’t tear up and as you can see in the photo I had it all over my face. There’s a big built in handle so you can Fom as you walk. It’s great fun as you’ll see. Package includes 1 Fömalanche machine and three 3 ounce packets of foam concentrate for hours of fun. Ages 5 Years+. You can add in adults too, because I think this is great fun. $39.99. Target was selling it for About $32.00 on 6/19/22. It’s also on Amazon, but for a lot more money which is why I didn’t include an Amazon link.

If you missed the spot on air, I’ll post a link here once ABC News airs it.
Here’s the handiest phone mount I’ve seen so far!
It’s the Perilogics Universal Travel Phone Mount. A super versatile pocket size travel phone mount. Use it on the airplane snack tray when it’s open, or mount to a closed snack trap. At the airport it locks on to armrest of seats, it can even lock on to rolling luggage handle. Multi-Directional 360 degree rotation for best viewing angle. It’s also a great self-stick. As you see in the photo, the clamp mounts your phone, landscape or portrait mode, to almost any object with a strong spring that opens up to 1.5 inch wide. Compatible to multiple phone sizes from an iPhone Mini to an iPhone 12 Pro Max or Samsung Note 20 Plus. And it’s usually under $15 on Amazon:
