[Rain Man]

I bought one on a whim last year. It just seems like a good idea to have it handy. I have the kind of mid-sized one that will essentially power a refrigerator for 24 hours or keep your phones charged for a few days. I haven't messed with it that much, but it seems nice and it's really small and compact.

I also bought the solar panel to go with it, but I've only tried to use it once and I couldn't get it to work. I need to figure that out. I think it may have been because I was just testing it inside and pointing it out a window. It may need more light to work. It seemed pretty straightforward.
