Jackery Explorer 500 Portable Power Station Review With Hairdryer & Slow Cooker On A Hiking Trip?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Hi guys, The folks at Jackery sent me a pretty good lithium-ion power station to review, and they actually delivered pretty well on the specs and promises. I hiked up a mountain with a slow cooker and a hairdryer to test out the power of this power station. I have some links below and a discount code to the product, it should be available in the next week or so. Anyways, it performed amazingly. I'll let the video do the talking, any questions please ask!

I don't always hike up a mountain but when I do I fondue and hunker down
OMG!! I was looking for a survival power source and when I saw this dude making Fondue I almost threw up.
@@rebellucy5610 STFU asshat
@@rebellucy5610 You should prob stay inside. Please.
I've never mixed fondue and camping before. What have I been doing with my life?
😁👍This video showed up and I am glad it did. Thanks.
I've been exploring the power stations for weeks. Your first hand review is what I needed to act. I just put on order the same unit that you have in this mountain adventure. Thank you ! Your discount code is valid as of 9/14/19 (yesterday) as I save 20% and that is my second thank you Steve !
Update - the unit is here 9/20/2019. It came at 31% charged so it is now plugged in and charging. This is quality unit as it looks well built.
Update #2 - charged and ready to go 9/21/2019. Charged two Dewalt old school NiMH 18v tool batteries that were about 1/2 charged and let each one charge for 2 hours each (about 10 minutes for the initial charge then top off time). The Jackery still has 81% charge after charging the two Dewalt batteries. That is impressive as the Dewalts are a sizeable NiMH battery. I have just received the Jackery 60W solar panel today and will use it tomorrow to charge back up the Jackery 500w power station. 5 stars so far.
@Salvador Pais I'm not a employee of the Jackery company. I'm just an engineer that has been sorting out the Lithium Ion battery inverters and decided on the Jackery and found Steve's input valuable.
I also bought one and used it for a week-long camping trip. Love it.
Lol. Crazy bastard carries a box of wine and fondue up the mountain. I whanna party with you man! Lol!
Hell yeah dude! Me too haha!!
I was thinking the same thing, lol
And a slow cooker 😂
Dude haha, I'll bring the cast iron, my buddy will bring the meats and such, and my other buddy will carry in a 24 pack for us, count us in!
Yall responded cause he has a checkmark. Cucks
Mate, they just started selling these in Australia,... with an Aussie plug of course...went and bought one and camped on the weekend. Got the rice cooker going and the nespresso coffee machine....
The kids also charged the iPads multiple times ... gave it a boost on the car 12v for some top up ... really loved it... great review thanks 🙏
Traditional backpacking meal, fondue in a slow cooker with a box of wine! This can only happen when “You’re Camping with Steve!” Skillet
Now you're camping with steve :) haha
You're the best. Keep taking us outside for a smile. Does the heat gun double for bear protection? … only with the Jackery? Until your next vid. Skillet
"I like to add a little wine" pulls out an entire box of wine and pours a tablespoon. Haha.
The rest is for drankin!
Too much takes from his drinking.
Notice the water bottle has a slight pinot grigio tint :)
If you go back 9 years ago when Steve is making a pizza, it is hilarious. He has long hair their.
And carried a crock pot! A lot of weight!
Very refreshing guy in this crazy world!
seriously
First canadian I saw making fondue out in the wild :)
Cheers from Switzerland :)
Cheers, I'm from Canada though :)
@@campingwithsteve Soorrryy I gona rectify :)
First ever for me seeing anyone making fondue in the wild...cheers!
man for some reason I thought this was going to be a weird cooking with a heatgun episode.
Come for the heat gun, stay for the fondue and wine😃
He's still using it today! I want one!!
I love that in order to test a lithium-ion (and therefor relatively lite) power station, you lug a ceramic crock and a box of wine up the hill. Well done Steve, you are my kind of camper! Your point about the CPAP power supply is right on.
I think this guy is very pure and sweet. Very hard to find someone who is down to earth like he is. He is truly just living life without worry and enjoying every second. Goon on you man.
Yeah, he's awesome. I wish he was my best friend
Premade fondue? What a magical world Canada is. With a box wine, no less. Now you're 'Camping with Steve!'
Steve, I will eventually buy the Jackery, because your demonstration and the recommendation of this product. Thanks. Cheers!
This guys a real hoot. A party of one, all his own. With his 2 step.🤣 Great scenery, thank you.
Good morning Steve, I'm happy about every video of you.
i love the Canadian nature.
Come visit canada loves nice people
The key difference with a heat gun is that it will burn your hair clean off.
Lmao
Yes, boxed wine. Just about any other situation I would have snickered. Needing my therapeutic dose of Camping with Steve today.
This guy is funny just to the point you get what you get lol I love it
Comparing a heat gun to a hairdryer is like comparing a firearm to bb gun. lol!
Hahahahah! I was thinking the same thing! I'd love to see someone dry their hair at 1,200°F-1,400°F!!
I wouldn't mind seeing someone dry their hair at 1,200°F-1,400°F as much as I'd mind SMELLING it!
-would leave it kinda curly, though!
@MrStevonsky bald and blistered lmao
I have a battery jumper box that has battery clamps, 110VAC plugs, DC USB, & an air pump all combined. I love how tech has come up with such things!
You seem to enjoy making these videos, it's quite nice to see someone doing something they genuinely enjoy. Keep up the amazing content Steve!
The Jackery would be awesome for ice fishing in a portable shelter!!!
This would be perfect to run lights and sonar
The. Flowers in that field are so beautiful !!!
I wouldn't care/mind and I'm sure others feel the same way if you reviewed more products. It allows too enjoy more time with you,see some cool stuff,know you're getting to keep it and know your scrapbook is getting bigger.
Keep on keeping on
Another amazing video!! Binge watching your videos makes my days better Steve!! Keep it up. Big ups from Texas man!!
Your local black bear population will be excited to join you for fondue and white wine.
No better way to attract the "cougars" than with fondue and wine😊
@@robertwilliams450 🤣
I've been scouring the intrawebs for a solar power station and also spending way too much time watching Steve videos. Then I see this one! Dude you are beyond funny. And now I'm craving fondue ...damn you Steve! (I'll be getting the Jackery)
This was absolutely awesome - one of my fave clips of yours so far. Love the crazy stuff you lugged up the mountain to test the Jackery. More random videos like this - yes! :)
Your shows are better than regular tv
My slow cookers are rated as 155 Watts for the large one, and 35 Watts for the small one. Plenty of wattage for the Jackery.
I use a Rockpal 500Watt inverter for various items. I leave one here in the house, in case of an Earthquake, so I can turn on lights, charge phone etc. And the other one stays in my RV, for various uses.
I had an electrician test my hair dryer and the wattage on high, was 1500Watts, and on low 400Watts. So I just let my hair dry slightly, and then finish drying it off on low. Works wonders.
I wish I had a jackery years ago on scout camps to charge up mobiles etc. Nice piece of kit. Cheers from England
I didn’t carry in a tent or a sleeping bag but I’ve got this awesome crockpot and hairdryer! Whaaaaa????
Edit: Steve also has carried in a box of White Trash Trailer Wine!
best slow cook is the drive to the site where you camp. Wrap a nice roast and carrots in many layers of foil and put it on your engine then drive the 4 hrs or so to your camp site and bang. full slow cooked meal and left overs for a soup or chili .
I happen to have the 500W Rockpal, I love it. When not camping I leave it at the house, in case of an earthquake, or wildfires affecting my electric. I’m in California. #HappyCamping
I gasped and giggled when the wine box showed up~
Me too! Steve carries 4 litres of wine and uses a nip.
I cracked up when he pulls out a large box of wine only to pour a little bit in.
I was thinking of buying one, thank you for the review.
Thanks for sharing this review about the Jackery portable power station. Your discount code knocks off quite a bit off of the final cost as well. I'm so getting this for my lil camping Adventures🥗🥩🏕🌌🌄
great video quality steve. not that others were bad, just noticed this one was really clear.
Nothing against Jackery (it seems like a nice product) but you can make your own. I purchased a used lithium defibrillator battery (1200wH) off eBay for $80 as well as an 350W sine inverter and an ammo can and made my own for about $230 US. These things are also a godsend it you loose power and have a gas tankless water heater.
LOL, too funny Steve!
Surprisingly good review on the portable power pack, could be useful.
Hilarious to see you load up everything but the kitchen sink into your backpack!
Absolutely love camping with Steve videos!!!!
What a fantastic review! Not a usual 5 min deal.
How lovely that it doesn't look like you have allergies while outdoors.
I was thinking of getting something like this. I may get this one so tell your sponsor that they did good letting you review it. It definitely will influence my shopping. :-)
Who else thinks that Steve added a cut scene of himself on a road when in reality he just moved 100ft? LOL classic. Steve you’re the best!
Luv this guy!
the ol Les Stroud maneuver
For that price, I'm glad it ran the stuff you didn't think it would!
I just bought one today along with the solar charger. Thanks for the review.
Pulling out the wine box - priceless!
Dude, you're insane. haha "Traditional backpacking meal: Fondue." Quality entertainment here. :D
That Jackery looks like it would be awesome on a canoe trip where weight isn't as much of an issue.
haa I had to laugh, I like your style with the fondue and a box of wine, you should have worn a turtle neck shirt and had some classical music plugged into that Jackery!
I am glad your having a blast out there bud!
Haha, that would have been way funnier. Thanks Daver!
Apples and cheese is really one of life's little pleasures. I really want to keep a jackery in my shed to run a light and a speaker or so. Also might put one in my car for emergencies.
Haha bro! You are next level! I gotta make me some backcountry slow cooking! New goals!
I just told my wife Steve said a heat gun and hair dryer are exactly the same thing and she gave me a dirty look! I think I almost had to hunker down outside somewhere...thanks Steve lol!
I’ve been there myself friend
Its always a good day when you get a new Doing Stuff with Steve video.... Great review. I am o going to have to get one of those. I wonder if it will power a Traeger Pellet Smoker and for how long. but I can find 10 uses for it while I am camping in my jeep. man 42K subs. I remember when it was around 3k and when you were camping out in the winter while going to school. it was so raw and real and unscripted. that what I love about your channel! glad you reviewed this product, it is just what I am looking for.
Thanks Shad, and thanks for sticking with me since the winter school days :)
Excellent. I hope you are making some scratch off of your reviews. I was considering this device since I live in a hurricane prone area. Beautiful country.
Fun way to review a product.. you always make things interesting 👍
We are on a tiny island in MAINE USA and use a Honda eu2000 to have some electricity when needed. Although it runs quite quietly, I do think of solar or a battery pack like this as an alternative.
Thanks for the great review and keep the vids coming. 😀🏕👍
I love your subtle matter of fact delivery on your situations. No, you are not Joe... but I appreciate you being Steve 🤣
Camping with Steve BEST Channel on UA-cam
Man you eat better in the Bush then I do at home 😂 thx for sharing. Keep up the great work!!
this would have been amazing when I lived in my car.
Your walk away shots are very les stroud, love your work man👍🏻
i will gladly sit through any steve commercials, as long as steve is getting paid for it!
😄 love your sense of humor Steve.
I for 1 love product reviews steve I dont want to spend my hard earned dollars on products that dont work thank you
Great review and Beautiful scenery once again!
Guy just finds the video, looks for the link, finds out the video is two years old, and d'oh. Still gonna try to buy one. Thanks Steve.
I know this was several years ago but what a gorgeous place.
Just binge watched the majority of your videos, they are an entertaining watch. You haven't changed a bit since highschool other than more face fur. It was great to see your videos. I don't have a FB but I felt like I got to catch up with you just through your videos. Keep it up, you only get one chance at this (from what we know), time is the most precious thing we have. So spend it in places you love, doing your favourite things!
Thanks!!
Do you have an address / PO Box somewhere that people can mail stuff to you?
I think this guy is making a mockery of the jackery with crockery.
I've got the Jackery 300 and it works great; used it a few times when the power was out at the house.
Great demo and review! I'm sold. Thanks.
Hi Steve. Great video. It comes with 2 solar panels. If beautiful wife says were keeping it, go for it. Be well.
Couldn’t keep a straight face about the electric fence. 😂 Excellent overview of the product.
No bears were intoxicated during the making of this video, just Steve
Add Kirsch to your fondue, you will never go back to wine. Thank you for the review on the Jackery.
Haha, I'll have to bring the slow cooker on my next backpacking trip. I need some delicious fondue.
The best, keep doing what you do !
Heat gun. Crock pot. Fondue. Dude awesome!
Pure minimalist. Carry only what needed. We learn lot.
🎵The hills are alive with the aroma of fondue.🎵🎵
The master! Steve we love your non-conventional process - you are the best :)
Nice camping piece! Thanks Steve! Let me know when' it's available.
Obsessed with Bears lol. Will checkout this product for trips to the off grid bunkie. Currently use an rv battery, inverter, and solar panel (not hiking with that setup).
Somewhere, a UL hiker is curled up in the fetal position crying while watching this.
Hackapell Quartermaster all the hipsters “ where’s his granola and organic fair trade energy bars?”
After much trial and error I learned all i needed was ziplock sandwich bags for storing lighters and bring candles, knife, few utensils and a wok to cook in, also wear loose fitting, layering nylon vs cotton clothes since good for any type of weather... But camping on a dime even better.
This all seemed very necessary, well at least until the boxed wine came out 😂. Seems like you didn't need to haul that whole box. Love ya Steve.
Love the flowery meadow you’re sitting in
Thank you. You gave an explanation I could understand.
I will be buying one for sure as it will be perfect when I camp in my van with several of my dogs in cool weather,.
“Good backpacking meal?... fondue 😂
..AHH !!!, roughing it in style..what's next, a heated water bed ?..lol..good fun review..
I would like to have one of these for my sailboat.
Box wine! I love it!
Hi Steve
Very interesting.
We are 'currently' powering a c pap and a couple USB fans so our power needs are quite low.
We have a 80 liter dometic fridge that we are looking to power so these lithium power units look interesting.
We are camping out in Fairmont at the moment.
Weather is very changeable . Sunny then rain . Mosquito count while not a record high is none the less quite impressive
for those that are interested : we went with a goal zero unit and their solar panels. so far so good. a good long haul [5 hours say] on the highway pretty well charges ALL the various batteries.if you are car camping I think it would be wise to get some portable power.
I cant believe he didn't bring a spare tire. Cmon steve!!
Just watching out comes the power pack... nice then the crock pot... wow that’s a lot. Then here comes a whole damn box of wine. Made me laugh videos never disappoint!
That Jackery Explorer 500 should come in handy during hurricane season, especially with the solar panel.
Thanks, Steve.
Loves my slow cooker. I flick it on as I leave for work.
Thankyou Steve I’m im one of those cpap users thankyou very much yay
