That's a good 'junk on the bunk' display. Morakniv too! Those are SB50s, correct?
/'course I would have had the Jesus candle* facing the camera, just to make some ExPo members hiss in disapproval.
2awg, good stuff. That's the kind of increased capacity / 'future-proofing' option I like.
Just about to start messing again with my own heavy cable / anderson stuff, next week.
*I'm using an inexpensive Harbor Freight heat gun instead of a candle lately, works real nice on the Low setting about 6-8" away.

Actually working on my galley table hooked to the trailer fender. Makes a sweet smooth outdoor work surface about 8' long. I use it for all sorts of projects when backcountry. Makes a great desk area too, when working on images.
Yep, SB50s, and yep, that's one of my Morakniv collection; the
Bushcraft Carbon Steel with ferro-rod. I have the Garberg, Kansbol, a couple Companions, Craftline Trade and their Clipper, too. Most are far less costly than the Bushcraft and serve me just as well, though I like the handle on this one for general camp chores and overnights with my canoe. I nerd out a bit on getting ******** just to test and compare and write about.
Heh...the 'jesus' candle is plain all the way around; no spiritual decals. They make great candles under my awning from dusk 'til bedtime and last forever, so there's almost always one around and lit. Easy enough to use for the heat shrink. No sense using the inverter for the heat gun. Then a lighter gets used out on the ground.
The two spools are high strand count tinned copper core 10AWG, silicon rubber, super flexible, from
BNTECHGO. Terrific stuff for solar cable extensions. 2AWG would be overkill for solar cable, as mentioned above, not to mention make a hell of a coil. See last image in insta scroll above for what a 50' coil of 10AWG looks like. I made a 25' extension first to see if I liked the wire, then got two more spools and made up two additional 50' lengths to extend my panels further out when needed. I can go out about 150' now. Fused before going into the trailer and again at the charge controller, though I'm going to add a fuse at the end of each extension, as well.
