DIY Camping - Micro Solar Generator
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
This is a very cool DIY (do it yourself) project that I thought I would share with everyone. Great for using around the campsite to power any 12Volt device you have such as an air mattress pump, LED lamp, DVD player, etc. One of the advantages is that it’s built using a small cooler so it’s easy to carry and looks like the rest of your camping gear. 
The inventor takes you through all the steps to build it. Gives you a list of all the pieces, where to get them and approximately how much each items costs. It’s fairly straightforward. After you assemble it and let the sun do it’s magic, any 12Volt (v) device can then be hooked up to it.
A 12V lamp can come in handy around the campsite. You can plug in any device that plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter, now called auxiliary power adapters. The inventor also includes some accessories that he’s plugged into it! And there’s an e-mail address if you have questions.

This would be a great addition to any Boy Scouts camping equipment. It has been a long time since I have done any camping. One of the best places to watch the stars in southern California is at Oak Knoll Campground. Situated on top of Palomar Mountain away from the glittering city lights. Tell the owner Larry that his friend Thom sent you.
