This is part two of my “sponsored by Jackery” series, and I basically challenged myself to come up with as many real-world excuses as possible to use a Jackery in an overland/camping setup. Some of it’s practical (heat, light, internet), some of it’s just me being a gear nerd in my parents’ backyard because I’ve got a newborn at home and camping is… complicated right now. The goal was 15 uses, but I kept it honest: I’m not walking around the house powering TVs—this is stuff I actually run on trips. I run a diesel heater off the Jackery (key tip: use a heater that runs off 120V AC so you don’t smack into 12V amperage limits), light the tent, power Starlink via USB-C, and charge my phone/watch with a tri-fold charger. Then I get into cold-weather comfort with a cheap 12V blanket vs my much better Ignik blanket, charge camera batteries, and plug in a brand-new Dometic CFX5 fridge to check draw (it was around 32W while pulling temps down). I finish with a jump starter charge test and the most important scientific discovery here: a tiny waffle iron will absolutely nuke your battery draw (hundreds of watts), so don’t pretend that’s “free.”
