More fans. Though this may be short term if we get the small generator.

Solar powered chargers are a MUST. The cell phones went fast. As there was no way out because of the flood.... couldn't charge at station. NEEDED another way... solar. Way to go.


Not sure why everyone is fixated on having solar phone chargers. What if the sun is not out for a couple of days. Plus most of those chargers require a lot sun in order to be at peak efficiency.

I have 3 of these Anker 20000mAh Portable Chargers for phone charging but mostly for camera battery supply / charging when out making videos. Fairly inexpensive and will charge most phones multiple times.
