I have a hunting trip planned in Sept in Colo that should last 2 to 3 weeks so i will need the charging capibility.

Ron,
Bear had a good idea with the windmills, If you put a series of low profile windmills on it and hook it to a series of batteries you'll charge everytime you pull your buggy down the road. Don't ask me how to do it, I'll can come up with the useless ideas and let you figure out how to do it.

 

[Wannabe]

My Dad told me that in the days of yesteryear some houses had the little low voltage windmills on their house to run lights and such. Something like that might save you some gasoline and noise when your in Colo. hunting Ron. Ya need more gadgets to play with.

One of the Little Rascals wore a windmill on hiz stylish cap. Back then nobody figgered he coulda been chargin' a battery ta run a cellularized telephone. Even if they had cellularized telephones back then, I caint see Elliot Ness wearin' one. I wonder if ya wore a windmill cap 'n run the wire ta some aluminimumum foil on the inside, would ya be able ta pick up any music on alien radio stations out past the Bear Bryant 'n beyond the Dolly Partons....mebbe out ta Abracadabra 'er Pluto?

I will come up with some more good high technikle ideas later on.

I would suggest that you only do that in the winter months since you could kill two birds with one stone ( so to speak ) you would have plenty of wind and have HOT wind to boot. :roll:

[bearridge]

The Tepee is on hold for a few days. But it is a good thing has been raining for 2 days and looks like about 3 more
in the forecast. Dry as we are in Texas we will sure take it.
Ron

 

[tx river rat]

I am going to like this.
Got a big mugg of coffee and walked outside and crawled in the Teepee to see if it had any leaks.
I had an electric heater inside there so I plugged it in . I was sitting there enjoying my coffee thinking about my wireing
and realized how nice it was ,warm rain beating on the roof,I wish I already had my matteress in here I would take a napp.
I was grinning like a kid with a new toy thinking bout cold miserable trips in tents I had taken,Thinking thats all over with now ,think I am going to love this little trailer.
Ron
