DIY How To Build A Solar Powered Radio Communications Go Box- The Ham-O-Can

Here are all the links- http://goo.gl/FgPgwH
You asked for it! Well, one of you did. In this video we take the Midland Micro Mobile GMRS radio and build it into a self-contained solar powered ammo can. Not only can this little wonder keep you in touch with friends and family, but it can charge USB and 12VDC devices as well. Not leaving solar power to be the only way to get this baby a charge, it will also accept any 12VDC source as well, your car, or even a battery charger. As common with THR videos, we have also put together instructions on our website as well as schematics (like the ones you saw in the video), templates, and a complete parts list for building your very own version.
All of those links can be found here- http://goo.gl/FgPgwH

All of the links, that is, except for the link to the Ultimate Guide To DIY Off Grid Solar Power- http://goo.gl/pquRrj
