This is what I use for charging and powering electrical devices in the woods. I have been reviewing the AFERIY AFP 210 2400 watt power station. I charge it with a 200 watt solar panel. I use it to charge my electric battery powered chainsaw, my ebike, laptop, phones and more. It has been working well to keep my devices going on this off grid property.

Silly, Outlets are on current trees.
Are those considered power plants ?😅
SNORT!!! LoL
Usually don’t give thumbs up on a commercial video, but it was a good one so I did
Thanks for the mention and I love my Aferiy! Great unit!
This off grid activity is getting a lot of high tech attention. Very interesting. 😊

Ha! How many will catch THAT reference?
Ignore the negative comments from the haters and jealous whiners -- they just need something to cry about.
Cheers from your Solar powered neighbour in Linn County.
we are not haters because we disagree.
this is open discussion time. god bless an
open and free country. we also get ''creased''
when the current admin tells us they will shut down ICE.
@@john-o1g9p Creased? ICE?
This is a channel about Forestry.
I'm happy that your ranch and local woods have finally come into the 21st Century😮😂
A potential problem with battery tools are if you leave the battery in the sun too long, especially on hot summer days, they can explode and cause a fire.
I know you wont have this problem because a Man in nature, looks after nature 👍
Extremely useful nowadays.
Wow! You’re really getting setup with solar gear Mr. Wilson. You’re an Electric Daniel Boone now too.
He's coming along nicely, eh Dan'l?
(I think he enjoyed trying my Timbery 100 5hp Electric Sawmill when he visited. Nice and quiet, no fumes.)
@@lpeterman Very nicely! I loaned him my little old Jackery 240 and 120W solar panel after I saw what he had before and he’s flat leapfrogged way past me now! 👍 Pretty dang cool 😎
Smart using the orchard ladders! Very safe!
Looks like that’s a nice little light wait power station. Thanks for sharing
and it's important to have yourself in the shade. because while they were forgetting to put outlets on the trees, they also forgot to put thermostats.
" SUN " what the heck is that your talking about, it has been raining for over a week now and the weather guessers say it will be this Thursday before that fiery ball comes out. Solar is a bust for us East Coasters lately!!!
Awesome video! I enjoy these types of videos.
You could advertise all day and i would still watch and maybe buy something. Cheers.
woooooow. a battery. In this day and age? Amaaaaazing
That is a smoking deal. I think they should send you another 200w panel!
thanks
While they are trying to Sell things through RUclips. We get a discount if where interested. Always nice to learn something new,but alot of times I wonder about other Channels promoting something im not familiar with. Nice to know you turn them down if you dont like or dont need what they are selling. Everyone on youtube I watch seem to get Companys sending them Products. They react much like you do. Liked the Video.
No current bush??
Out there
i love my current bush. we are all happy...
Dog in the Hunt. Pony in the race.
Good information! Good discount! Thanks
You forgot to check the north side of the tree- the electrical outlets are always on the north side !! This is according to the NEC and the electric chainsaw governing bodyECGB.
Haha love your humour Wilson.
The AC outlets are actually 2400watts in 'offgrid' mode meaning not plugged into 120v power
9:40 thought you would say until the cows come home.
Great! No plugs in them thar woods?
😂😂I just KNOW,, those Fine folks who manufacture that Big Brick Box,,, are gonna use there Tax break loop hole, "buisness exspenditure" wisely, and send FREE OF CHARGE ,, a 400watt or better solar panel to you. Just because,,, your approach was so good to the issue! Good job!
i will never give up ICE. so much set up, work and maintenance when i can simply top off
and keep going. same with my multi fuel generator. i have earmuffs for ''quiet''. no one
ever talks about the cost and maintenance of ''electric''.
set up? plug in the battery, pull the trigger. I mean, yeah, you have to fill the bar oil, sharpen and tension the chain. but you have to do that with ICE, too.

from the heartland usa, i hope your wrong about everything going electrical, we do have a generator in emergencies
we still don't have a cell phone, who would we call?😊 always like your vids.

Predator generator in the back of your truck, totally legal.
Here in Wales, UK we have electricitrees, silly!
Couple gripes came to mind. One about electric vs gas chainsaws. PG&E (electric company) has started more fires, burned more towns and killed more people than gas chainsaws so I find it ridiculous they shut down cutting with gas saws.
Second, the issue I had with my name brand solar battery thing I used to run starnet in Alaska last summer was one, it was constantly raining so the solar didn’t do much and worse the dang battery pack would only charge 85 watts max even when plugged into a generator so it took forever to charge. Would have saved fuel had I just ran the generator when I needed starlink.
Neither of those comments have anything to do with you are your video or the product in the video as I know nothing about it. Just complaining because sometimes the modern world can just be ridiculous! 👍🏼👍🏼
let me rephrase what you've said, so you can see the flaw in your logic: "banning gas chain saws during high risk weather has been working for the past 35 years, so we should stop doing it."
and while we're at it, it should be pointed out that power companies are now shutting down high risk sections of their grid during high risk weather. which, for the average person, is a good reason to have a low maintenance backup power supply.
and as for your generator conundrum: plug in your battery pack while you're running your generator to power starlink, and you will have better efficiency from the generator, and have the backup available for low power applications, while the generator isn't in use.
No flaw in my logic. I’ve never once seen a gas chainsaw start a fire. And we had close to a hundred guys working at times. I have however seen a battery run away any ignite. It’s basically a thermite grenade at that point and can’t be extinguished.
@@dgoodman1484 and of course, you've seen the entire service life of every gas chain saw that ever was. somehow, you missed all the times the muffler on my saw ignited moss on the wood I was cutting. or perhaps it is one of those "it is impossible to show a person what their job depends on their not seeing" situations. nearly a quarter of wildfires are caused by vehicle or equipment use. and keep in mind that is WITH the regulations that close forests to logging operations during high risk weather.
Lumping chainsaws together with vehicles screams of desperation. But back to chainsaws, a certain level of competence is required to be a faller in the first place. If you are causing fires with yours left and right, well I’m not certain what to tell you.
@@dgoodman1484 no, it's claiming that gas chain saws don't cause fires - after having it repeatedly pointed out to you that part of the reason for that is fire safety rules that ban use of gas powered equipment during high danger weather; that screams of desperation.
My first impression was that this video was going to be about the places where power lines are too close to trees, and you can get a dangerous shock by touching the trees. I've never encountered that, but I've heard about it here in California.
I sure wonder why we have so many wild fires.
Catalytic converters..💁?
@@novampires223 I don't think trees need those. I'd have to check with the DMV to be sure.
Why would a unit with US sockets need to switch between 50Hz and 60Hz?
What do the bears think of it!?
electric chainsaws?? only?? they have their place, but not on a homestead. JUST DO NOT HAVE THE TORQUE I NEED. retiring to a 2A state in the spring. can not imagine not having my 2 stroke.
Give the new generation of accu saws a try, like the Stihl MSA 300 and the new MSA 500 that is coming out, they are pretty scary tools, not toys. The only downside is the expensive batteries
@@ttkddry yeah, the days of the low powered electric chainsaws are in the past. for commercial timber production, you still need a bigger power head, but at this point, occasional users can save a lot of fuss and bother by going electric. and they are ALL torque. I've put a milwaukee side by side with an MS350, and you can't stop the Milawukee.
@@kenbrown2808 I agree, it depends on the type of work you do, but anything with a 40 cm or smaller sword is now electric, the only petrol ones I use are the MS 500i and MS661, and that is only for large works. Everything else is electric
@ttkddry i know an arborist, and he got rid of his small gas saws.
It is true there are no electrical outlets in the great outdoors. It is also true there are no gas stations in the woods. And when you find a gas station the gas pumps are powered by ……….. electricity !!!
And if you can recharge the batteries in the woods you don’t need to go into town, except for gas I guess……
I have electricl outlets in my unimproved land.
Old school solar panels and some old batteries with an old inverter.
Gasoline generator for heavy draw usage.
Those fancy "solar generators" are waaaay overpriced for what you get.
Hello.what brand is your jacket?
Code not working in uk. Good looking bit of kit
I think you meant to say that you don't have a dog in your dog and pony show.
Interesting if I needed power away from my home
You mean you don't have a current bush on your property.
2040 Wh divided by 7 isn’t a very big chainsaw battery.
For example the Stihl AP500s battery has 337 Wh, it takes me about 1 hour to drain it when limbing trees, I charge another one while using the others. You get quicker tired than you can drain them
@@ttkddry 337 Wh will consume 375 Wh to charge.
@@N4HHE it will probably be worse because you have to go from DC 12V to AC to DC 36V, so I estimate 5 to 10% loss at each stage. It would be nice if you could charge your batteries direct from the PV panel but I have not found an MPPT controler that does that... Some batteries like my Cramer chainsaw is 82V, it is cheaper to go via AC but less efficient to charge...
@@ttkddry we don’t know the box has 12v battery. Lithium 18650 cells are commonly 3.6v used to make that 12v battery so there is no reason not to suspect a higher voltage is inside. Or the 36v chainsaw battery. But certainly not going to charge the chainsaw battery 7 times.
@N4HHE you are right, I thought why not test it. Charging a drained 337 Wh battery using AC cost me 309 Wh. That tells me the BMS shut off the battery before it drained below 10% empty. Charging my 512 Wh Ecoflow costs me 537 Wh. I use the Ecoflow on the road with a solar panel fixed to the roof of my Alucab mounted on my truck, so the Ecoflow is just a buffer
Here’s a solution go back to 2 stroke saws
hello
1300 bucks.
Use the coupon code and get the USD 400 discount... so less than USD 1k for the unit, which is not a bad price
@@ttkddry its already on sale not sure two discounts are allowed but if it is. You’re right about it being a solid value.
@@stannelson2582 Could try two by adding oldjarhead 😉
@stannelson2582 look at the screenshot at 10:20 that looks like USD 900 and not 1300
Extremely useful nowadays.
It is highly inefficient to start with a DC battery, convert it to AC to plug in a battery charger which then converts from AC back into DC. Let’s not pretend they have this all figured out.
not as inefficient as stringing 30 miles of extension cord.
@@kenbrown2808 I understand "off-grid" and I understand that AC power has no place in a battery-based DC system, except as an unfortunate remnant/reminder of once being "on-grid." Tool manufacturers should make 12V DC chargers. Or make your own with a highly efficient DC - DC transformer.
@TomTurner704 i haven't built any of those, but i can't imagine the usb ports have a different set of electronics than car usb ports do. As for charging batteries from batteries, you're going to have losses no matter how you do it. It would definitely be better to have a direct charge from the solar collector, but at that point, it's the tool manufacturer's ballgame.
another guy with a lot of $$$ showing us poor folks how nice his life is
I suspect @WilsonForestLands earned everything he's got. Quit whining!
Promo
He did! Specially when making videis which take hours to film and edit. @dbdouglas
How do you know how much money he has?
@dbdouglas I tried replying earlier, but yes. He's earned it! And just making the video takes hours and hours of work!
Or just get a Cybertruck!
I'm waiting for these electric generators to come down in price before buying
