Sitting in the woods posting on my phone while it's hooked up to my solar charger.
I officially no longer have any need for civilization at all.
The set of solar panels that I'm currently using (the set in the picture) is one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VRBVLWB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_1oKaOqFsk9h2P
It's a really amazing set. Folds up to about the size of a very thin hardcover book so it's easy to fit in a pack.
For $17 after tax you can't beat it.
Last year I bought a set of the most highly rated/recommended solar panels on the internet, called Big Blue, for $65 or $70, and was going to buy another set because the single set wasn't meeting my needs, but on a (stinginess inspired) whim I decided to try this inexpensive set from LVLF Outdoor instead.
Turns out, near as I can tell, one of the $17 sets works at least as well if not better all by itself then the $70 set, so I bought two more.
This is in spite of the fact that the $70 set is rated at 28w while the $17 set is only rated for 21 w.
Just thought I'd share this in case anyone was planning on doing any camping this year, or if anybody wakes up one morning and realizes "hey you know what? I don't really need to live in a house after all.
Happy camping.
