In the wake of hurricane Irene and the east coast earthquake we have not been able to keep the Goal Zero portable power packs on our shelves! The lightweight and extremely versatile battery packs, lights and foldable solar panels are the perfect solution for when the power goes out or for when you plan to go out and "rough it" in the wild places this world has to offer. There were definitely 3 Goal0 kits that made an impression:
This is probably one of the most affordable and lightweight kits. It's extremely compact design weighs no more than 7 total pounds and includes the Sherpa 50 Whr lithium battery and the Nomad 13.5W foldable solar panel. You can charge or run your devices via the USB ports (found on the battery and the panel) and the 12V DC female cigarette lighter socket.
This unit contains a sealed lead acid battery providing 150 Whr of power. This 15 lb torpedo looking power unit has a built in USB port, 12V

This past weekend (July 22-24, 2011) I had the pleasure of taking my oldest son into the Siskiyou mountains of Southern Oregon and Northern California for some father/son time. We stayed in an old fire tower atop Bolan Peak nestled around 6200 ft amongst a handful of craggy peaks reaching around 7500 feet.
