    The wire that I use in this box has thinner insulation than most other wire brands out there. This makes a world of difference when you are shoving 3 wires into a blue connector. In the links below, you will find everything that was used in this video. Thanks!

    We go camping and kayaking a lot, even built a camper van 8 years ago and quickly realized I needed portable power. As batteries are getting better and less expensive, these power boxes are the way to go and even better when they're self built. I hope I win this one!

    MOTO GP RACING, I plan to use it on my motorcycle racing weekends in Nebraska. The track I go to does not have power outlets and I usually run out of phone charge in a day. I usually camp in a tent and this will keep my devices charged and music when I relax between sessions would be awesome. I could also use this to power a USB light and fan when I sleep in the tent, this is hands down one of the best product I have seen in recent times!!!

    Excellent video instructions. My only comment is the screws on the lights are way too close to the charging terminal inside the box cover.. I recommend short the screws / use lock nuts or threat locks. The other option is put insulated cover in the threads that are so close to the charging poles connectors. This will prevent any short out if accidentally dropped the box the wrong way. I will get very excited if I land a big one fishing. Great instruction video sir.
