Multiple systems is the key with renewables. They keep wanting to sell us one or the other and then someone else says they don't work. When you combine, you have options. Good video, thanks.
Dave keep doing what you're doing. I know there are people out there who may say some terrible things about you but they are just a bunch of online keyboard warriors who do nothing but down on people. You're a skilled survivalist and teacher. You've helped me and a lot of the bushcraft community grow our knowledge and skills over the years. I hope more people find you and find inspiration to get outdoors and learn new skills that will benefit in the future. Thank you Dave.
You need those turbines 25' above the ground to get away from ground friction to get in the faster moving air. I like it, looks good quality but I would make my own tall mast for it using PVC pipe and rope. Thanks and happy New Year.
I painted a line at the top of the pivot point and NESW compass points at the bottom of it, then I always orient my tripod N so I have a wind direction indicator.
That’s a great idea! Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks! I would think if one is camping out in a more remote region, it’s a great idea to have renewable options! Great video!😊
Most camping accessories I use are rechargeable, either by solar or plug-in. Lanterns & flashlights, my battery-powered camp shower, fans, AAA/AA battery recharging station and walkie-talkies, recharged mostly by way of my TOGO 1500w. I still use old Coleman campstove and kerosene lanterns, etc, but if you can make the experience more easy, quick and convenient wherever possible, why not?
Thanks Dave. For all of the info, that you provide on TH-cam. Keep fighting the good fight of Faith Brother and may The Lord Jesus Christ richly bless you and yours.
For those who prefer regular batteries, like AA or AAA, over rechargeables, there's always the happy medium of rechargeable batteries. That's what we use in our walkie talkies. There are even rechargeable batteries that have USB plugs built in, so you don't need to carry a separate recharger unit.
From the side of the mini wind used to charge the backup battery, the phone light is also very reasonable, very interesting video, thank you for sharing.
This set up looks cool man! I Use devices the take batteries but, I use rechargeable batteries. that way I can swap them out while the others charge and you don't have to wait for the device to charge if I need them, you can just swap out other rechargeable batteries while the other one's charge up. Plus a battery pack of course almost the same idea you got, I want a little wind charger like you have there that's cool
Dave, my husband watches all of your current videos but also spends most of day going back over older ones of yours and Corporal Kelly's. He found your "Outdoor Journal from 8 years ago and says they are the best he has ever seen. Now where can we find the clothes you were wearing and showing? He wants some and I am no seamstress.
Hi Brother Dave. Being a bushcrafter and survivalist for 10 years. The number one and most important survival item, that should be in every BOB (Bug. Out. Bag) is. Can you guess? It's GOD'S word, the Holy Bible 🙏 Keep fighting the good fight of Faith Brother 🙏 May the Lord richly bless you and yours. Without GOD'S help and provisions. Your skills and knowledge in survival mean nothing without his help. With GOD, you have everything 🙏 Without him, you have nothing.
It's a great idea, but I don't know how much input power that wind turbine brings in... I'm setting up a Hydro System for full power, {with solar back up} and I need a lot of power... I could imagine clamping it to your Jeep and running it while you drive! I know someone who does this for his E-Bike & never loses power!
You don't need the wind to blow... All you need is a WIND turbine, connect to a MARINE deep cycle battery, connect that to a inverter, then connect a FAN to the INVERTER , then plug up the fan to the inverter . CUT ON the HIGH POWER FAN and point it at the WIND TURBINE..... You will have continuous energy and you don't have to worry about weather. You can put this inside of a container and let the fan do the work. No need for real wind
Great video, but at the risk of being a pain in the butt pedant...I absolutely detest the grossly inaccurate and misleading "touchy feely, feel good" term "renewable energy"...what a crock...any first-year physics student will tell you, physics 101, "Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is transformed from one form to another." Solar energy will probably see out humanity, certainly on this planet, but it is not inexhaustible, and not "renewable". Not aimed at you Dave, just needed a rant in general at the misleading term in persistent widespread use. i feel much better now.... cheers, and keep up the good work.

All about rechargeable in the wild and base camps. Smart to have both wind and solar.
Haha, Zahn making his cameo appearance.
-Would love something like this, been looking into solar options, solar + wind sounds great.

This was excellent, sir. Thanks for educating us to think outside of the box.
I agree, getting the best out of both worlds is the smartest way to go. Thanks for your hard work, have a great New Year.
Good to see you and your video's again. Stay healthy! Wish you and your family all the best and a Happy New Year 2023! A fan from Germany

portable wind generators is key for total redundancy
Super cool concept! Might have to give it a try at my base camp, also looking forward to the winter class up here soon!

Cool! Happy New Year to ya! Definitely a better way! 🚜❄️🪵🇺🇸
Muito legal esse video Dave. 👍👍👍👍

We could do with a hydro charging device over here in the uk with all the rain we’re getting! 😖😖
DAVE could you post a few links for these devices? GREAT VIDEO👍👍👍👍👍
A+ for the video. The cat makes it A++
Excellent video mate
Cool, how about something to create electricity from a running river or stream?
Dave, my husband watches all of your current videos but also spends most of day going back over older ones of yours and Corporal Kelly's.

Whaaaat! Thanks for this video, as usual, sir.
is the wind generator water/rain proof?
Have you tried the power output into a Jackery on a windy day? I like the versatility.
Expect 18watts, 27 max.
Thanks for the video. I am thinking of buying one of the Infinite Air 5Ts.
Any update?
Hi Brother Dave.
Being a bushcrafter and survivalist for 10 years. The number one and most important survival item, that should be in every BOB (Bug. Out. Bag) is. Can you guess?
It's GOD'S word, the Holy Bible 🙏

Without GOD'S help and provisions. Your skills and knowledge in survival mean nothing without his help.
With GOD, you have everything 🙏 Without him, you have nothing.
David where can we get the Solar device that goes with the windmill?
Thanks for review. What's the avg watts the wind turbine produces?
Are u able to report on the performance the energy produced by this device can't find any meaningful source that would deliver such info
Where can I get one
Since you mentioned "Canoeing" I assume some sort of dry bag or box would be appropriate for most of the gear you carry, any good suggestions??
Use a bigger solar panel it’s easy to get them now and you are in a vehicle. Have fun stay safe.
It's a great idea, but I don't know how much input power that wind turbine brings in... I'm setting up a Hydro System for full power, {with solar back up} and I need a lot of power... I could imagine clamping it to your Jeep and running it while you drive! I know someone who does this for his E-Bike & never loses power!
You'd want someone 24/7 @ your base camp to deter theft.
Is that wind power tech still working? Was it worth it? Thank you.
Hey Dave I have an off topic question. With the bedroll cookset can you add a squirrel cooker to that somehow?
Thanks Dave !
Hi Dave where can you buy the turbine? I Couldn’t find a website for the company that makes it.
How is the weather down there?
Will this wind unit charge a Bluetti solar generator using 8 mm plug on the generator?? Thx
Name of wind turbine?
Cool 👍😎
Sweet!
👍💯🔥
what a great Idea
That is cool
