Saw this in the February 2007 Real Simple “products of the month” (I posted a summary of the issue on ATLA today) I’m not sure exactly when would be the best time to use one of these… but that doesn’t stop me from still desperately wanting a pack. I guess it could be great for your car, or if you’re on a camping/hiking trip, out and about. Kinda coolness though don’tcha think?
And speaking of things for your car, the other thing I really want is this portable car “battery booster” they also featured. You can recharge your battery from the inside of the car (note: this is not a “jump starter”) which could prove to be quite useful if you’re stranded somewhere… Does anyone have one of these? Would love to hear your thoughts…
