• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

As the title states, here's some 'Hopefully Helpful' gadgets, particularly aimed at (motorcycle friendly) portable, rechargeable, multifunctional, good for camp/emergency. Not necessarily for everyday use, however, it is possible.
Found the 12VDC cig plug & USB rechargeable items to be quite handy, & with solar charging options, even more so.
(Caution: there are knock offs that are only USB powered & not rechargeable) Just a few to get started:

857B4F50-1DA1-483B-AACC-AA679FE1EBEF.jpg - Weatherproof emergency weather radio/light/siren/usb powerbank. Complete with hand crank & built in USB charging cord.

719D91B2-EC7C-432D-A53E-C2D739EAC41A.jpg - IP68 Weatherproof Beam & Lantern Light/Powerbank/Window breaker with magnetic mounts

9FB518CD-20FB-4326-AF2B-EC2C74BCA059.jpg - As seen on TV - Go Fan & My Foldaway Fan. Especially handy in power outages.

Additional items:

USB rechargeable water pump; claims battery last 100gallons (does not state if continuous) but does include inlet hose that does easily attach to a sawyer filter. Can recharge from a power bank with USB-A output. 👍

DD2CA34E-63CE-4DBA-AA88-071BBCA08181.jpg - it's designed to sit on 5 or 3gallon water bottles. (Fill at a stream; insert filter attached to hose) & 👍


25AB9009-9510-4DA7-93E0-FAEB12C50668.jpg - another solar/USB/hand crank/flashlight/weather radio/power bank


Please add more if you know of others. (y)

If you want a good battery operated fan take a look at this one. I was surprised at the amount of air it puts out and how long the battery last before recharging.

This is my mule. She is mostly solar powered, but also requires some rain to make the grass grow. She can be used for long periods of time when the power is off and you can't get any gasoline or diesel due to hurricanes or floods. She also mows and weed eats, as well as keeping coyotes and stray dogs out of the fields. She does not require new batteries or USB cables, and recharges automatically by just leaving her in a field of grass and weeds. Also handy to dispose of garden waste after harvesting, and converts it to fertilizer for use in the Spring.
