Ok this is a total geek toy but here's a cool solar panel that can power your laptop, gps, cellphone and other gadgets you may need to use in the wild. The solar panel is waterproof making it an excellent gadget for the outdoors. The easy to stow roll-away method allows you to be able to store it easily without worrying about the bulkiness. Like any gadget they're (bleep bleep bleep) expensive. :tapedshut:
