Hey guys

I've been working on a home brew DIY Powerbox (ie. a Goal Zero Yeti style) but at a much lower price point and more features.

I just did a video while I was doing some remote camping running my tunes and DC refridgerator. Kind of doing an overview of why I built it, how I power it up using solar and my generator kit. Plus a little comedy at the end.

Hope you guys like it. I'll be doing a write up in the next few weeks with all the parts I used so you can a deep dive look. If you add your email to my website newsletter I'll notify you as my videos come out.

I don't sell any of this stuff just as a heads up. Geared towards a do it your selfer with a little electrical know how.

I am working on it right now. I'll do a quick list of items and prices. Probably just put it on my website as a pdf.

Will have something together shortly.
