Building a 12V Battery & Solar System: Do's and Don'ts and All the Basics You Need to Know

My wife and I love the outdoors and try to travel whenever we can. I'm also a "gadget guy", a network engineer, and many years ago, a corporate technology buyer...so...I kind of naturally got into doing reviews on tech products, and that seems to be the kind of content that my viewers find the most interesting (vs my travel content). I review all kinds of tech, but I do tend to focus primarily on portable power and solar products - mostly because I find these a LOT of fun to work with. :) I don't take money from brands to do reviews (like many channels do), but I do often get the product sent to me for free. I only agree to do reviews on products that I think are worthy of serious consideration and I don't accept conditions on what I can or can't say about a product. If a product is obviously uncompetitive (or junk!), I'll scrap the video and send the product back (which is why you won't see many outright negative reviews here). I hope you find the reviews useful!
