A DEAD BATTERY CAN LEAVE YOU STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE

Jumper cables are a basic and low cost essential trail item, but what if you don't have another vehicle to jump start you?  I highly recommend a portable jump starter.  They're a back up plan FOR THE BACK UP PLAN.  


There's one brand that stands out for being durable, reliable and trusted so I'm only going to recommend the NoCo units.  You'll see many of their models below.  Basically, the more you spend, the more uses and peace of mind you will have.


**Warning** I've tried saving $30 by going with the cheaper Amazon value unit, but it wasn't dependable.  I'm not affiliated with Noco, I bought my GB40 with my own money.

My recommendation:

Buy the GB40.  You can use "power stations" to recharge this unit in case you have many failed attempts.  Click below to go to the "Camping Gear Power Station" section.

***WARNING***

Avoid cheap jumper cables.  The rubber handles on this pair ended up tearing off, which wasn't that big of a deal because I used duct tape to cover the copper handles.  After more uses... the handles snapped!  It's not worth trying to save a few bucks by buying bargain cables.
