PowerFilm 120 Watt Foldable Solar Panel and Auxiliary Power

by Superesse Staff December 08, 2018

I wanted to discuss our Auxiliary Battery Bank. This is the power source for our outdoor lighting, water pump, porch fan, and USB outlets.

Inside the cabin we use standard 110v which utilizes a lithium generator, AGM battery bank, and 400w solar panels.

The question is; how do we power a 12v outdoor system?

Review of Tactical Uniform Boots - Altai Gear MFT 100

by Superesse Staff May 23, 2018

So I have been wear testing the ALTAI™ 8″ Black Waterproof Tactical Boot Model: MFT100. As a law enforcement officer I am on my feet day and night and very often. I needed a boot that could handle a hike through a wooded area, the mud, a run on asphalt, then be ready for court appearance.

Generator and Air Conditioner Install, Rainwater Setup, Trail Security Camera and Steel Target Update.

by Superesse Staff May 15, 2018

Out at the lands with the dogs. Was a good week. Got AC installed. New Generator hooked up. Reevaluated the battery bank and now have the load hooked to the two ends of the parallel. We think this will give a more equal drain/charge on the system. Put up a new target and have a gun mount for zeroing. Padded my sleeping loft. Tweaked some things in the kitchen. Hooked up to rain water collection barrels and put them in a series to feed into our water for the cabin.
