- Merritt Island Scoutingby Donald AndersonWe made a day trip to Merritt Island to scout for our photography trip next week. I grabbed the DC-ZS70 pocket camera on the way out the door.
- Angel – Great Egretby Donald AndersonI photographed this beautiful Angel while the sun was setting at the Merritt Island wildlife refuge. The sunlight is from behind and magnificently highlights the transparency of her feathers.
- Extra Auxiliary Ampacityby Donald AndersonSometimes it is convenient to trade some cargo space for extra battery capacity. I repurposed the original starting battery that the group-31 upgrade replaced.
- CB and Ham Radiosby Donald AndersonBack-country travelers are using Amateur Radio for wilderness communications because of the greater range. Many have a Citizen Band radio because it is ubiquitous even though the range is limited.
- Campbell Powerby Donald AndersonTo charge our Casita travel trailer, Cocoon, we added a power connection to Campbell, our Toyota Land Cruiser. We also added a power distribution center in the cargo area to run additional gear.
- Super-Sized Starting Batteryby Donald AndersonWe upgraded the starting battery in Campbell, our Toyota Land Cruiser. Even though we added an auxiliary battery to run our dry-camping needs, the main battery must handle a considerable load, especially with a winch.
- Boondocking Shore Powerby Donald AndersonWe want to use our microwave when we are boondocking in Cocoon, our Casita travel trailer. We need an inverter for that but do not want to add a new load to our single 100-amp-hour house battery.
- Auxiliary Batteryby Donald AndersonTo juice up our power-hungry gear on excursions away from base camp, we added a second battery to Campbell, our Toyota Land Cruiser. The extra power will also be helpful while we are boondocking in Cocoon, our Casita travel trailer.
