Get one of those rechargeable car boosters, with the gel
cells inside, and plug them up in someone's car for the day, and then

charge
your stuff at night, with a 12 Volt charger


Yeah, I've got one of those heavy-duty, battery-operated compressors. It's
got a 12 volt power outlet, from which I can charge my phone and hand-held
for quite a while.

It's really heavy, however, and about bulky. We're not weight-limited in
the Pathfinder, but we ARE space limited -- remember, we must fit and pack
for four people, for a week, including all camping gear. Packing has become
a true art, with everything assigned it's own station -- and there just
ain't no stations left for that compressor.

The solar cell, on the other hand, weighs practically nothing, and folds up
compactly. I should be able to "swedge" it in, somewhere! :-)
