With the last month of summer contests finishing up and the gloom of rainy Oregon weather about to set in, The Dyrt Team decided to pack it up on Friday morning and go camping with some solar powered assistance.

The Dyrt Team Hits the Woods

For our trip, we headed out to the Bonney Crossing Campground in Mount Hood National Forest, OR. We spent the first day settling in, building a massive fire, stocking the picnic table, and testing our hand-eye coordination with some epic rounds of kubb. Thanks to us staying here in the off-season, we were fortunate to have the whole campground to ourselves! With the steady trickle of Badger Creek behind us, we kicked back and enjoyed some well-deserved outdoor R&R.

We also brought Renogy‘s solar powered setup into the field with us so that we could complete a few tasks. While we didn’t want to do a ton of work, we couldn’t resist the chance to try out some new gear.

With two, highly efficient 10 Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panels, The Pheonix Generator kept our computers charged for hours! We doubled down with the 100 Watt 12 Volt Portable Solar Suitcase to make sure we stayed up to speed. And, with our E-Tunes Bluetooth Speaker rocking, we managed to complete our tasks and enjoy the serenity of pines and evergreens. Thank you Renogy for helping us get out of the office!
