    I run a triple battery setup because you can never be too prepared, and it gets hella likes on Instagram.

    For camp light we use LuminAid cubes, great social purpose behind the brand and not bright enough to light a beacon to every freakin’ bug in the county.

    Dammit, I’m only running duals. No wonder no ones follows me.

    I run 4 group 31s and just bring my kitchen fridge. A little bulky but at least I don't have to pack.

    Fuck all that. @ChandlerDOOM put a patch on my headliner to cover a hole left by an old mod that was removed years ago. I leave that there because of the inside joke but that’s it. Can’t change the name because I have a hard enough time finding my own account as it is with just my name.

    Doomed to mediocrity.

    Yep, has been working great for me, and lest you feel like you wasted money on the LiIon jumpstarter (I got this one on amazon from DBPower) - you can use it to charge your USB devices without turning on the truck - hahahaha.

    Really though, the fridge only hit the cutout once, and that's when I had it set at "High" cut-out. I don't know if I'd ever hit the medium or low cut-outs.

    ^^^ This. Ben's got the right idea for sure. Plus, if you find it doesn't work for you, you can always get a second battery later. The fridge though is life changing. Seriously.

    Yup. Since I have to give my borrowed one back, a fridge just came onto my Christmas list lol I couldn't imagine my trip without it.

    Double check your unit, I had mine at 98% charge before I left for my trip, went to use it to charge my devices at camp and was already at 58%, for one week of no use. I gotta recheck it again but I was a little bummed at that. I have the same one as you.

    Also worst comes to worse, park your truck down hill if you have a manual and chalk the tires.

    Nice congrats! I've had a couple living in SE Alaska....perfect for crabbing, trolling for salmon, island hopping for hunting spots...takes a beating and never had issues with them. Enjoy it!

    Interesting. I check mine only periodically (before trips) and it's maintained 98%+ for months with no recharging.
