Looks pretty versatile - great idea for big trips

i grabbed one of these when I was back in the states. Looked nice and complete and accomplishes a lot of tasks (charging electronics, jump starting bike etc.) However for what it is it does not pack as small as I was hoping and sent it back.

It sounded great reading about it on the internet however I began to think how often I have ran out of juice with my electronics on trips................never so far. In my travels I have always had an electrical outlet handy no matter how small a shop, restaurant, village, etc. When camping out away from electrical plugs would be the only place I think it would be handy for myself. However when in the bush I'm not pecking away on my computer incessantly except to look occasionaly at Basecamp/Mapsource. So never ran into issues there yet. The most I've camped in a row is four days and i'm not using my phone so it's turned off so I've not run out of juice with it yet. Not saying running out of juice won't happen, so far however it's not been an issue for me. Worst case is you have no electronic devices. Some would argue that's a good thing

Jump starting the bike is nice however the cables and battery pack a lot larger than a spare Lithium battery.

Just my thoughts which are worth naught.
