Last year, I read a book called “Body and Soul, Either One is on the Way”. This book records the outdoor travel diary of a literary youth, who traveled all over half of China by himself. He said, “The meaning of travel is to fall in love with this world that is worth hating.” When I saw these words, it happened to be a time when many things were not going my way. So, at that moment, the idea of having a long outdoor trip also sprouted in my mind. Regarding the equipment to bring for self-driving tours, today I will share with you, hoping to be helpful to you.
However, due to the impact of the epidemic, we passively stayed at home for more than half a year. Finally, after the nationwide unblocking, my friends and I took a self-driving tour.
Although it is said to go away, in fact, it has been prepared for a long time. I checked a lot of suggestions on the Internet about what necessary equipment should be brought for self-driving travel. Referring to the experience given by many outdoor enthusiasts, we bought a bunch of outdoor equipment.
One of my pieces of outdoor gear is an outdoor power supply. Long-distance self-driving, whether it is a mobile phone or a camera, consumes a lot of power. The scenery of the journey makes people enjoy taking pictures, and ordinary charging treasures cannot meet the power demand. Long-distance travel will give you a sense of fatigue that “eyes are in heaven, body is in hell”. Meditating in a beautiful place, it would be perfect to eat delicious food at this moment. Therefore, the conclusion of their experience is to bring an outdoor power supply, which can be used at any time.
Of course, during the subsequent self-driving trip, it also proved that this outdoor power supply is really practical. We’ve proven it works when we’re camping outdoors. It is no problem to use it for cooking, boiling water, lighting, etc. The key is not to worry about causing forest fires, and it is very safe to use.
However, although the outdoor power supply is practical, it still encounters blind spots when choosing. After all, outdoor power supplies have only become popular in recent years. Not an experienced outdoor enthusiast, many people should have heard of it for the first time. Outdoor portable power supply has become a must-have equipment for outdoor travel, and it is very important to choose a good performance.
In fact, many brands on the market are doing it now, especially after the epidemic, the travel industry has ushered in retaliatory growth. People have been locked at home for too long and want to get outside and connect with nature. On the other hand, also driven by Glamping, people hope that the journey can be comfortable and quality. Compared with small generators, outdoor power supplies are safer, less noisy, larger in capacity and wider in power range. Naturally, they have become the first choice of many people.
There are many models of outdoor power supplies. When choosing, my friends and I also made comparisons with many brands. Considering the requirement that the mobile phone battery is fully charged, the camera battery is fully charged, fresh fruits and hot meals are eaten during the journey. Compared with the power of the car rice cooker, the power needs to be 250W, and the power of the car refrigerator needs to be 40W. So, I chose this Powerfar 500W outdoor power supply.
Powerfar 500W outdoor power supply supports a maximum output power of 500W, and the price is less than 500 US dollars. Compared with other similar products on the market, other 300W outdoor power supplies cost $500. Therefore, Xiaobai, who is not familiar with outdoor power supplies, must first understand his travel needs before purchasing outdoor power supplies. According to how much electricity you need and what kind of electronic equipment you bring to travel, you can buy outdoor power supplies with corresponding wattages. Like the 500W outdoor power supply of Powerfar, in addition to having a high power of 500W, it also has a battery capacity of 150000mAH. Such a battery capacity is equivalent to a small power station. In addition, this outdoor power supply uses UL authoritatively certified automotive-grade power imported Panasonic, LG, and Samsung batteries. All are big brand quality, safe and guaranteed.
Let’s talk about its appearance, overall it’s pretty good, with a square shape, high-intensity LED professional outdoor long-range spotlights, and SOS emergency signal lights. The top is a portable handle, and the weight is 7.1KG, for me, this weight is not a big problem.
The front of the Powerfar outdoor power supply has an intelligent digital display system, which can monitor voltage, current and temperature changes in real time. In addition to this digital display screen, there are 11 output ports such as AC, DC, USB, Type-C, and car charger on the front. Support multiple electronic devices to supply power at the same time without interfering with each other.
In addition, it has three charging methods, one is to support wireless charging of mobile phones. Type-C bidirectional output/input interface, which can supply power to the device after charging. The charging speed is also fast, and it will stop automatically when fully charged.
The second is to support the use of the car’s cigarette lighter for charging, although charging in this state is not as fast as charging at home. But if you drive while charging while driving, you can achieve long-distance self-driving and charging at the same time.
The third is to support solar charging, as long as there is the sun, even in the deserted wilderness. With this mobile power supply and solar charging panel, you will not face the problem of running out of electricity. Moreover, this way of obtaining power is very clean and environmentally friendly, and there is no need to worry about polluting the outdoor environment.
In actual use, outdoor power supply for cooking, charging drones, mobile phones, car refrigerators, etc. are completely fine. During this trip, my friends and I really felt its practicality. I remember that in a place with a particularly beautiful scenery, we stopped halfway, and then took a short rest in this place. My friend used this outdoor power source to cook a pot of ramen with a rice cooker, and took out the cold Coke in the refrigerator. Another friend took a panoramic view with a drone in this place, which is really the best travel experience.
Finally, in general, I personally think that this outdoor power supply is quite practical for this self-driving trip. It solves the problem of electricity consumption during our journey, so that long-distance travel is no longer a dilemma for people on the road. Therefore, friends who plan to travel by car or are about to travel. In outdoor equipment, you must bring an outdoor power supply, because it is really convenient and practical.
