DIY Beginner Custom Overland Power Station Tutorial

I tried to make this DIY power station video to include everything I had to search around tons of spots to find when I was learning about how to build one. It ended up being much longer than planned, but I hope it helps to give some of you a one stop shop for the info. I put chapter markers to make skipping around quick to get to what info you need. I ran version one of this system for over a year doing a ton of camping and rough trails. It held up well, so I figured I would make a video on it while I was going through to make some improvements to grow the system to pass what little information I have along. I am still getting the hang of these DIY vids and I am sure I missed some stuff. If there was anything I didn't cover please ask in the comments.
