Redneck and geek collide- Solar powered hunting blind

Going green- while shooting poor little woodland creatures.

I went nuts this weekend, and put solar power in my hunting blind.  This started out because my phone kept running out of power in my blind.  I was researching portable power solutions and it kind of snowballed from there.  Solar cells were procured, deep cycle marine battery was bought, LED lights for RVs were pressed into service... and I ended up with a totally redneck solution.

Here you can see the major components. Battery, fuse block, master power switch, 12v outlets, and USB power.

Final product. Lights and cupholder

Now, I have a proof-of-concept of doing off grid power on the cheap, a way to charge the cell phone, and a way to keep the spotlight running for the midnight pig hunts!
