Hey Breven, ever thought about wiring a little solar charger so you can keep your gear powered while out on the trail? I’ve been tinkering with a simple microcontroller design to manage the battery, and I’d love to hear how you’d handle the rugged side of the build.

Sounds good, but don’t let it get too fancy. Use a heavy‑duty solar panel, some good quality MPPT charge controller, and a battery that can handle a full day of bad weather. Keep the wiring short, use braided cable, and put everything in a waterproof case that can take a few knocks. If you keep it simple, you’ll have something that works on the trail without needing a tech wizard.

Sounds solid, Breven. Just double‑check the panel’s voltage rating against the MPPT input specs, and make sure the battery’s C‑rate is enough for the peak draw from your gear. If you keep those basics tight, you’ll have a rock‑solid system that won’t break a sweat out there.

You got the right idea. Just keep the wiring neat, seal it well, and you’ll be good to go. No fuss, no mess.
