Thanks Jim, it was setup for regular race track racing. I prefer to go fast, then in circles lol. I have since sold my race car. Blew the engine twice and just called it a day and cut my losses.What a nice race car. Is it set up for road racing or circle track. I'm a big fan of all type of racing. I think building them is my biggest niche. All my racing experience is on dirt track and off road.
I'm too old now but that is where my heart is.

How is your rockpal holding up? I can not find much in the way of review3s on this brand, only goal zero and jackery. The rockpals are on sale right now. Also, do you find that the 300 is sufficient? I run my frig off the jeep battery, so would really only be using it for lighting, phones, laptop type stuff. Thanks for any input.

You'se a lucky man Brian. I had a wife like that. :-)My wife did well for my birthday this week and loaded me up with several of my wishlist items for my outings:
1. Buddy Heater
2. Baldr 330 power station
3. Blueridge's attic net for my Jeep
4. Gpca Grip Pro handles for my Jeep
5. Nemo Stargaze chair
And she told me to get out of the house and go camping this weekend. No kids, just me, so time to relax, try out my gear and do a little exploring.

I have a Garmin Inreach Mini but that Montana 700i is really nice.I need to get a new satellite messenger having not renewed my spot. I am researching between the Garmin Inreach, Zoleo or the Garmin Montana 700i which has the Inreach built in. Maybe a new easy to setup tent as well.

That is when the little 900w, $99 harbor freight generator comes in handy. For less than $300 you can have a 3500w generator. Neither is fancy but they work for what they are meant for, emergencies. Because I live in a rural area, it is necessary for me to be prepared for outages which would also effect my water supply. I dont think living in the city is any guarantee of better utility services any longer. The utility companies are not investing in updates because of cooperate structures bleeding off too much money to put in the ceo's pockets. They dont care about you anymore. Rely on yourself for your own security sake !When the power went out thus the wood pellet stove was out for 6 days it game an excuse to finally purchase a Battery Bank, sadly it did not have enough capacity to power my wood pellet stove I was hoping for.

I don't really go to Harbor Freight usually the only way I find out what they have that is not going t break is through forum posts; so this is interesting. Sadly I wont be in the Family homestead next time we get enough snow to take out power. But I will have the BatteryBank solar generator for the car I will be overlanding in full time.That is when the little 900w, $99 harbor freight generator comes in handy.

I agree that IF you overland full time the only way to go is solar combined with your auto and a battery bank of some sort. There is a big difference between living on the road and being stationary. To build a solar system for a home is a huge expense over a simple system for your traveling rig. I Guess it comes down to what you can afford, always the big decision for all of us who work for a living.I don't really go to Harbor Freight usually the only way I find out what they have that is not going t break is through forum posts; so this is interesting.
