I think that mellows well done
or instead of this, you can just watch people camping on youtube
The guy is the bear or they have the same shoes.. 1:45 and 4:50. But if that doesn’t convince you check out the shirt at 5:01.
what if it rains all week and the sun doesnt come out? If I eat a lot of beans, wait an hour, then do as many blue angels as I can over the panels, will that be enough light to charge my camera?
Fun presentation. Great overview of the different products in that line.

Like the bear…I always wanted to camp with smokey the bear!!!!!!!!!
Thats a nice spot.
I have yet tried it in extreme cold but I remember seeing a video on you tube of some arctic explorers using the Guide 10 in the cold without a problem.
Does the Guide 10 solar charger work well(or at all) in the cold? If it does I think thats the kit for me.
I want to have a couple beers with that bear and hear his stories.
Great looking setup. I have been looking for something like this for a while now. Thanks.
hahaha the bear is so sick
Cool bear!!!!
I take along my little auto jump start battery. Much it is small and cheaper then the solar panels. It works great. I charge it up before I leave. I have a duel usb charger that goes in the 12 volt socket so I can charge 2 Items at once. most have USB hookup built in. I use it for my ereader and camera. Nice ideas here though.
As someone that does a lot of filming in wild locations, this equipment is worth a look. But as someone that dislikes the amount of tech carried into the wild, this equipment worries me.
Just ordered a set… This stuff is really neat- I’m looking forward to seeing how far i can really push my sherpa!
