10W VAWT in action. This is just a teaser. We’re going to hook up a wind/solar system, so stay tuned. We’ve since gotten all of these components hooked up to make a portable power station. It’s all contained in a barrel that has a removable lid, so accessing the 12 volt battery and trouble lamp is easy. If the power grid went down, this would give me some light at night.

Thinking about buying a Hennessy Hammock? Check out this video review and demonstration for information that may help you make a decision on your purchase. Personally, I love their sleeping system. They’re lightweight, comfortable, easy to set up, and keep the person inside dry. That said, cold-weather camping can be challenging in a hammock. Similar to an icing bridge, wind that blows on the underside of the hammock rapidly cools the occupant’s backside. An air mattress is an easy remedy, and I’ve heard good things about under quilts. I highly recommend the Hennessy Hammock and will use one for my camping trips 3 seasons out of 4. hennessyhammock.com Please leave comments and feedback.
