The Greenhouse of the Future DVD: Abundance and Energy Autonomy

SunJack Solar Charger and CampLight: Perfect Camping and Bug Out Power and Lighting Solution!
I was sent this SunJack Solar Charger not long ago for review along with the SunJack CampLight (sold separately). Since then I had the opportunity to test out the SunJack Solar Charger (and CampLight) a bit since then I can say that I’m quite impressed. Granted, I’ve never owned a portable solar panel like this one so this…

I’m still getting used to where we live in the Pacific Northwest… things are just a bit different than where I moved from in the Midwest. There are so many tall trees and the layout of roads and homes is a bit different. This makes developing a healthy bug out plan a problem. While there are…
