Day Hike: Twin Lakes to Barney Lake (Hoover Wilderness Area)
This trail is near Bridgeport, CA and is an out and back hike at about 8.3 miles.
Trail head is at Annett's Mono Village at Twin Lakes (elevation 7,027 feet) which is a full-service resort with a 300 space campground, cabin rentals, a small grocery store, a cafe, and a marina with a launch ramp and boat rentals. Day parking was free for us in September 2023. You walk through the campground to get to the start of the trail.
Picturesque Barney Lake spreads in the shadow of 11,346-foot Crown Point in the Hoover Wilderness. A 4-mile hike from the Twin Lakes trailhead places visitors on a sandy beach at the foot of the lake. Elevation gain 1,231 feet.

    Nice video! But I haven't been able to do it. Have same Jackery, a 45 ltr 12v refr, 100 watt Renogy panel. Problem is, over night, Jackery was down to 20%. Could not recover next day while powering the refr at same time. NC, August, full sun, no clouds. By 2PM, Jackery was at 55%. I then put the system on AC. Took until 6PM to get Jackery to 100% while powering the refr. At 6PM, very low solar performance. At that I was very careful to orient the solar panel. I'll try again but 1st try seemed like a pretty good fail. I'd be more confident with a 1000 watt station, with pass through, and 200 watts of solar. So do the math: My 12v refrigerator draws 35 watts. But at about a 50% duty cycle, it's like 20 watts. I have to run it for 24 hours / day. That's 480 watt hours per day. I simply can't get that from a single 100 watt panel. The Jackery et al, is only a buffer for non-solar hours.

    I found it very annoying not having constant power to the hot trailer wire. When we RVing and boondocking and it's cool enough for the furnace but not wanting to run my little generator, with one RV battery, the furnace only runs until about 5 AM. It would be nice to be able to start the truck with my remote and have power going to the RV battery which needs 10.5 volts for the furnace to run. I can now do something to fix the problem.

  • @adventureseeker9800
    @adventureseeker9800 Рік тому

    Absolutely amazing that baby Jackary is keeping up with the solar input when comparing to the output. One assumes the fridge compressor isn't running all the time which is cool. It really says something about that power bank. It would be interesting to see how long a larger 500 or 1000, not that everybody has access to the larger more expensive unit, but still the run times would be much longer even without solar. Really cool review.

    • @michael_the_chef
      @michael_the_chef Рік тому

      I have a budget but still very good powerstation with about 1200wh from Amazon, i leave it in the car to power my 50l 12v compressor fridge, without recharging i get about 4-7 days if i put the fridge in eco mode and 3-5 days in max mode, it depends on the ambient temperature inside the car. I also have plugged in the powerstation to a 12v car outlet and a 100watt pd charger, so i get about 170-195 watts of charging while driving, 30 minutes of driving the car per day and i can run this thing forever 👍😎👌

  • @dominicdo2719
    @dominicdo2719 Рік тому

    With this kinda test it's about math. This 12v fridge and most of them draws a max of 45w when the compressor is running and pretty much 0w when it isn't(LED draws so little it fails to register even 1w sometimes). I have one of these fridges and it only turns on once at most once very hour for 5 about minutes(temp is 2C or 35F). So it's actually on for about 70mins in 24hrs at 45w. That's very little usage. The solar is rated at 100w but even in the best conditions there's so going to be some efficiency lost and gotta take into consideration of other variables like temperature and clouds. On sunny days you're probably averaging 75W for at least 8hrs and 40w or less on cloudy days. As long as the battery can power the fridge overnight you can pretty much power the fridge indefinitely off of a 100w solar panel. Fridge is on for 70mins/24hrs @ 45w vs solar charging and using non-optimal conditions here just to prove a point, 8hrs/24hrs @ 40w. Good test. Even though I already knew the outcome because of the math, it's nice to see it put into actual practice.

    I bet that fridge would've run longer on DC. You have loss from the inverter and the step down AC converter on the fridge. That is taking up power. I have both the Jp40 and Jp50. (I have videos on both fridges. That I go way deep in the weeds on.) I haven't ran them on my Bluetti EB200p yet. Other than to see how much power they pull on both modes. My two Iceco's bounce a lot, the wattage. 48-58w on high mode. 28-35w on eco. They are descent units. I'm hoping they last through continuous use. The temps are off on both.
