Always love your enthusiasm. May have been cloudy, but it looked beautiful out there!
Thanks!
Linked to the Sherpa today - thanks Walker! Have a Nomad, now I have a great match. What a deal. Take care out there MWW.
Sherpa at that price is fantastic. You can increase the number of USB out with a 12 volt car USB adapter. Thanks for watching brother!
I just picked one up for $80 that was slightly used. Super stoked as I've been wanting something I can recharge headlamps, batteries and walkie-talkies in a disaster situation.
Great video. Had the Nomad 7 a few years back.
Thanks for watching!
I think I’ll throw one of these in the Jeep for emergencies. Thanks Walker!
Thanks for watching!
Kevin, nice job great information thanks.
Thanks brother!
Looks like a great product. Unfortunately, the sun no longer shines. It's gone. Maybe they can develop a product that generates electricity from rain and cloud cover
Been bad weather for some time. Hard to get one semi good day to make this video.
Blocked by cloud seeding , geo engineering n shit smh
If anyone is looking for a pouch/sleeve, I found that the "Lacdo Shockproof External USB CD DVD Writer Blu-Ray & External Hard Drive Neoprene Protective Storage Carrying Sleeve Case" for about $9 is almost perfect for this. The Sherpa 50 with inverter fits almost perfectly...just the slightest stretch to deal with the 1.50" thick unit as you move the zipper around corners, but there is no stress on zipper once closed. Great padding and protection for it.
Looks damn decent, I saw one on display the other day and was super curious.
The two thumbs down, probably tried to cook un-holy turkey bacon on theirs...... Very cool panels.
Thanks brother. I also really like the Sherpa 50 for around 80 bucks shipped. I got mine for 99 when they first became discontinued as always wanted one however was too expensive. Charges very fast via wall outlet or solar. My power outage backup as we lose power during storms sometimes for a week.
everything goal zero makes is great
I also really like my Goal Zero rock out speakers and Guide 10 plus! Thanks for watching!
excelent review thanks for the video!!
Thanks!
Good one Worshipful !!!!

Thanks for the review!
Goal zero needs to make a solar powered razor. Your looking a little Grey Walker 😂.
LOL! Time sucks. Thanks for watching!

Love the stand on that Goal Zero. Is it adjustable to track along with the height of the sun and time of day? Wish my Renogy 10 one. Still trying to figure out an inexpensive "bracket" to hold the panels flat at different degrees of angle. Love the Renogy you turned me on to. Thanks again
It just swings out. I think Biolite makes a more adjustable system with even a way to measure the best angle. Truth be told I prefer to use a log or bag and adjust by eye. Also if leaving at home or in-camp I direct the panel facing the shy I expect the mid day sun to be. This way I can get the best hours of the day. The Renogy is much like the Goal Zero in terms of construction but simpler and less expensive. Glad you like it.
Bad weather here in jersey. 🌧🌧🌧🌧
Same here. Thanks for watching!
Goal Zero is kinda like the solar equivalent of iPhones. They're solid, reliable but a bit too expensive and they have proprietary connectors.
I agree.
Annette Huppatz so what’s the quality PC version of Goal Zero?
@@dcentral to me it's Renogy. Or maybe even Polaroid. Or if you're in the US Jackery. Renogy is a lot cheaper in Australia than goal zero but Jackery is probably your best bet in the US. Check out both brands. Either us very reliable and well made.
@@dcentral big blue 28 solar charger.
And like iPhones, they are the best.
Hi, thank you for a nice video, I am actually about to buy it for my long term hikes, but I have seen plenty of one star reviews on amazon. People say that when get cloudy or they went to room and then back outside, panel didnt restart and didnt start to charge again. Same when clouds came and then got away, panel stoped charging and then didnt start again. Did you find something like that? True is that these roviews are mostly like 2 years old, maybe they fixed it up? Thank you for sour answer, Karel :)
I heard there was a bad batch of 8mm to USB adapters but can't verify. I tested with my iPhone SE and AirPad 2. Also multiple powerbanks and USB battery chargers. Seemed just fine though sometimes there were variations in how fast the restart occurred but it does work or at least mine does. The ECEEN does an auto restart function every 3 minutes which is totally fool proof with anything as it doesn't depend on input levels to trigger a reset. The Goal zero seems to work like the Renolgy I reviewed. Restart based on input levels etc etc. That said my advice is to charge a powerbank first. You will lose some energy in conversion but they tend to solar charge faster during the entire process and will never reject a charge opportunity so are basically more reliable than a direct charge.
Any chance you could do a field review of every type of sacred bacon available?
So long as it doesn't include Turkey bacon.... Thanks for watching!
Please, no turkey bacon! Kielbasa, Brother & Sister smoked anything, sausage, but no turkey bacon!
if its turkey its not bacon...
There is profound truth in your words.
Nice review 👍
Where did you source the solar intensity and usb power meter from?
So the Sherpa can only charge up with a goal zero solar panel? I want one but goal zero is way overpriced compared to other companies....anyone try to charge the Sherpa with other solar panels? Thanks!
I bought them both on deep discount. The Sherpa can be plugged into a wall outlet with power supply and charges at a fast rate. No standard USB power in so unless the panel has what appears like an 8mm plug it is a no go hence why I bought it for my Nomad. Thanks for watching.

Use you amp reader on all your usb cords. IHome is one of the worst and giving full power to devices in my experience
is it an American thing to use a 12hr format?
How do magnets work🤔
They're magnetically attracted to metal plates in the detachable pack pocket however glue and solar panels don't mix. For example the ECEEN stand support was also glued to the back of the panel and it just fell off so I used velco which even that glue gets softer with the heat. I often use my pack or a stick to angle them. Thanks for watching!
Solar Grill for the Sacred Bacon?!
Sadly no. :( Even the solar over doesn't crisp it. ua-cam.com/video/NytdwuPgh1c/v-deo.html thanks for watching.
@@MegaWoodswalker Big fan of the vids! Keep up the awesome work 👍
Nice product review but the time it takes you to form a sentence is really frustrating
I just sent you an email with a few questions that I hope you could answer!
🙌💤💤💤💤🍺👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏 great review Captain Walker hope your doing good getting fat man
Thanks for watching brother.
