Lots of cool toys. Just want to give a note as an electrician of 10 years. Those cord adapters are nice and all but if your cord is not rated for the amount of amps you are pulling through it. It can possible heat up, melt, and cause a fire. So you really should make sure that cord is rated for it. Based off how you explained it. You really should only need it to be rated for 30 amps. That cord based on looks and also being a three prong is usually only rated for 15 to 20 depending on the gage. So stay safe and enjoyed the video.

My buddy used to have a sport fishing shop. He often said the racks upon racks of various lures weren't to catch fish, they were to catch fishermen. I'm not a purist demanding everyone camp as I do but I do prefer less gear, less clutter, less stuff. I want to blend into the woods, not dominate them. Hope this doesn't come across as mean spirited, there is room for everybody and every style.

Hi Pat, I am very impressed with your own invention to hold the solar panels, wow!

Pat was great! Thanks Drew for organizing this one!

Thanks for showing some of the possibilities to help enhance camping. Everyone has a different take on what makes a good camping setup. Some others like myself are just collectors of neat stuff . Always looking for something better.

15:05 not sure if that was meant to be but that was hilarious.
“I got this for $1600. It was *not* a good deal. But it’s a cool product” 😂

Very neat gadgets! I like the fire reflector. I always get cold when around the fire pit and the wind always blows the fire away from me no matter where I stand! 🤣🤣🤣. I also saw somewhere in a magazine that someone out their solar panel on a little wagon and just rolled it wherever the sun was. Can’t wait for the tour of his camper.

I love these geeky camping gadgets. I have one of those wood pellet fire pits and they work great as long as you keep on feeding the pellets. I just bring one bag and it is good to go for the weekend.

Hey Drew and Pat, great job! Always nice to see some gear I haven’t heard of, I’m definitely a camper gadget junkie!

A couple notes on the electrical plug converters. 30a current requires 10awg conductor. When you adapt the connection on both sides to fit the plug into a 30a connection, that doesn’t mean you have that current carrying capacity. There is no circuit break or fuse to protect the cord. Very handy to do but it relies on the user understanding the limits. If you use that 15a extension cord, you want to limit the things you’re running or it’s a serious risk. 🔥

Hope that helps and doesn’t come across Debbie downer. Love the video, thank you both!

Be cautious when powering a 30 amp trailer through a 15 amp extension cord from a 30 or 50 amp service. It can be easy to draw more amperage than the cord can handle, overheat the insulation and cause a fire.
