Portable Power


On my kayak camping trip in Baja I brought along some gear that turned out handy. My cell phone had a music library that I played maybe once, but more importantly, the solar charger kept the phone charged. Later in the trip, when Jorge's phone battery went dead, he borrowed mine to hike to the top of Danzante Island, find a signal, and send a text message to confirm our takeout location with our van driver on the mainland. The solar panels also kept my camera battery charged through a USB output, and kept a pack of AA batteries topped off if I needed them for my flashlight. Good gear. I think it will go with me on my next camping trip.
