Going out on a hike, camping trip, fishing trip, or some other outdoor excursion can be an excellent way to enjoy nature, get away from civilization, and unplug for a little while. Sometimes, though, it can make life a little easier in the wild if you bring a little bit of that civilization with you with a portable solar power supply for camping.

The catch is, any technology you bring has to have power, and it’s not usually readily available when you’re out in the woods (or the desert, or the tundra, or the mountains, etc.). So if you’re planning on bringing some tools or toys on your next trip to the wilderness, you might want to think about bringing some portable solar power along with you.

Why You Want Power

There are a number of reasons you might want a portable solar power supply for camping. Those reasons tend to be forms of convenience. Obviously, you may want some power to recharge your phone (your lifeline out in the wilderness), and possibly your tablet, if you chose to bring it, but it doesn’t stop there.

Many pieces of camping or trail gear can be run on some sort of power, be it rechargeable batteries or straight up plugging it in. This includes flashlights and torches, camping stoves and hotplates, heaters, fans for blowing up an air mattress, and so on. In all of these cases, you’ll need to juice your devices up if you want them to work.

Basic Power Options

For the casual outdoorsman (or woman), there are some basic portable solar power supplies for camping, such as battery packs (for your phone or tablet) and portable power packs (which come in various sizes). Battery packs range from a phone recharge or two to packing several days worth of power, all of which is measured in milliamp hours (mAh). To get an idea of how far it will get you, compare the mAh on the battery pack to the battery on your phone.

Power packs bring more juice, but battery packs have to be recharged once they run out. An even better solution is the use of portable solar-powered supplies like a Go Mini Solar Kit, which can provide power anywhere.
