If I had a Goal zero Nomad 28 Plus (28Watt) panel that is used for the iPad and GPS on canoe trips can I rig a ride along charger system for the Dewalt 20V batteries using the following items… Solar Panel – Goal Zero https://www.goalzero.com/shop/foldable-solar-panel/nomad-28-plus-solar-panel/...

Thanks, I have one as my canoe gun...Mine pictured below. Light and handy! Non-restricted in Canada and no $200 SBR tax! This looks really nice too! :p

I was looking at this one - https://www.dewalt.ca/en-ca/products/accessories/batteries-and-chargers/chargers/12v-max--20v-max-lithium-ion-vehicle-battery-charger/dcb119 but they do have several available

To the OP - There is a lot of great info on non restricted firearms found online at places like CanadianGunNutz.com etc. Things like an Alaskan Scout takedown in 44Mag with a 12" barrel might be a light compact item for bear protection in the back woods. Unfortunately restricteds are for range...

I was unable to get a direct 12v charging system for my laptop so the inverter is needed. :) Runs at 92% efficiency for my pure sine Go Power inverter so no big loss even for the smaller items like camera batteries etc..

After being part of a 4x4 club for 14+ years and then going exploring across Canada and parts of the US my first choice will always be Warn. Personal experience from watching trucks getting floated across creeks and buried in snow/mud was that the Warn products we the best in Quality...

Thanks for giving this a bump. This is a dream trip for me following the same route. Great to see the pictures!

This might be a more efficient option if I can't get the inverter to do everything. Saves the loss from 12v to 115v back to 14v. I was more interested in keeping power available for all the smaller items listed but may be better to individualize them. Thanks to everyone for sharing their...

Great pictures and story. I wish I had time to take the back country roads but normally just rush down on Hwy #1 till i get past Calgary. Awesome to see some of the areas in detail.

That's a great idea for a removable system that is enclosed. Do you need to have the lid up during use for the heat build up? A system like this would be great for me with a winch power cable disconnect so I only have to have the system in the truck when needed. This would be a next level build...

Thanks, that's a good idea with upgrading the original dash plug for a smaller inverter and then (if needed) hard wire a second supply for a larger 1000W inverter for a microwave and Dewalt high speed 20v charger etc. etc. Wonder how much loss I would see using a 1000W Go Power pure sine...

This is what I had been reading, thanks. Thanks for the detail! I had done the math and then started second guessing the included cigarette lighter plug pictured in the advertisements. Using http://circuitwizard.bluesea.com/ helped with what would be needed with the recommended wire being AWG...

Just wanted to check the math on this idea for maxing out the available power from a standard cigarette lighter plug found in my Xterra. If Watt = Amps x Volts and an inverter runs at 90% efficiency then the total required for a 150 watt inverter at 90% would be at 167 watts correct? So...

Thanks! This was part of a large road trip in 2015. The first pic is Moraine Lake in Alberta and the second is at the base of the glacier at Mount Edith Cavell near Jasper (52.679339, -118.050208). The day before was +30c in Winnipeg and 16hrs of driving later I woke up to a few inches of snow...

Some of my older stuff...

That looks like a great trip, thanks for posting!!!

That's some great pictures! I was out on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island this summer as part of a larger trip (San Josef Bay - Cape Scott). There is so much potential there on the island. This looks like a great spot! Congrats on the new suspension!

Thanks for posting this, looks like a great idea with the metal teeth. Wonder how muck more this will be over the regular ones. If this is the year for the mini Max will next year be the year for the super sized version? Could we call it the Max², Lol.

Thanks again! Was a great trip and the Xterra handled it all with just a few bumps underneath. That when it starts to get fun! It rained one night on one of the trails and I had to descend the next day over new rocks that had slid down the slope. Was like driving on wet Marbles for a few...
