Hard to justify the price of admission for me anyway, despite how awesome and compact they are, when a good 200w Mono briefcase is almost 1/3 the price...? I admire anyone who can just pop-off and buy one of these things without breaking into a sweat, especially Kanuckistanians paying $1.40+/ $US or whatever the hell it is now.

We just signed an agreement with Inergy and are now only one of two 3rd party manufacturers that will be providing a Solar Blanket/Panel option for there new Kodiak K2 Portable Power Station. Besides us Powerfilm is the other one offered at over double the price. Nice that we can offer the same efficiency at a better price point.

Of course go with what works for you and your budget, not everyone can justify the cost, but like anything in life you get what you pay for in longevity and usefulness. The big selling feature of these Solar Blankets is that they will work how others will not just like a Powerfilm Solar Blanket, in low light conditions, even when it is raining, snowing or heavy smoke from fires, this translates to they will charge even more devices, quicker in conditions where you have excellent light. And because of how they are built they will last 10+ years, most other products on the market will not and they are 1/2 the price of Powerfilm. Plus the best part is they are lightweight and take up very little room, cause at the end of the day there is never enough room when Overlanding/Camping.

Not sure yet if I will be there, just figuring out what Overland shows I will have time to attend this year. If I am not there, Mike Glover and the Fieldcraft Group have a booth and will be offering my Solar Blankets. If you have any specific questions feel free to message me and I will do my best to answer.

I am interested in this package. What can I use this set up for? Other than using a laptop, what can this set up power? I like to have a fridge, charge my phone, use my laptop and maybe LED lights? Excuse me for all the questions but this is all new to me. If I am going to spend this much money, I like to know what it can do for me. I like your products because it's the best set up. If I get this set up, do I need anything else or is this pretty much ready to use?

Basically this will charge everything you want for camping/overlanding and it can be used for emergency preparedness to power full size fridges and freezers in the event of a power outage. There is no other Solar Powered generator on the market with specs like these. Only other option available with this type of power is a gas generator.

Plus it conveniently has
6 110V standard wall charging ports
2 CLA charging ports
4 USB charging ports

Inergy just sold out of their Pre-Sale priced Kodiak Power Stations yesterday, and they are doing one more round with shipping starting mid June. If anyone wants to take advantage of this savings either on its own or bundled with one of our 120W or 200W Solar Blankets let me know ASAP. They sold out last round in less than a month.
