Quick Answer
For a well-rounded camping setup with a Goal Zero Yeti power station, consider adding a portable water filter, a high-capacity solar panel like the Boulder 200, and a lithium deep cycle battery for extended off-grid use.
Solar Charging and Backup
When pairing the Goal Zero Yeti with a portable solar panel, choose a compatible setup like the Boulder 200, which can fully charge a 200Ah battery in 4-5 hours. Consider a 400W solar panel for faster charging times. Use the Goal Zero MPPT Charge Controller to maximize efficiency. For added backup power, consider a lithium deep cycle battery like the Goal Zero PWR Cell 400, which can provide 400Wh of energy for hours of use.
Water Purification and Filtration
To ensure access to clean drinking water, add a portable water filter like the Grayl UltraPress, which can remove up to 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and contaminants. The filter is compact and weighs just 12.9 oz, making it perfect for backpacking or car camping. For a more extensive water filtration system, consider the Sawyer Mini, which can filter up to 100,000 gallons of water and includes a built-in straw for easy use.
Lighting and Safety
Add a high-powered LED light source like the Goal Zero Lighthouse 400, which provides up to 400 lumens of light and can run for up to 200 hours on a single set of batteries. Consider a backup power source like the Goal Zero Switch 8, which can provide power for small devices like lights and GPS units. Don’t forget to include a first aid kit and a emergency whistle as essential safety items.
