My First Solo Camping & Prospecting Trip with BLUETTI AC70 Power Station

[@lgallert]

Liz…so sorry for you and Pedro losing Wal but you make my heart sing watching you continue to live life to the fullest!!!

[@LizKreate]

Pedro also passed away 2 and half months after Wal. His poor little heart couldn't take not having Daddy around. Thanks for watching and wishing you a Happy New Year!🥰

[@mickellis8747]

Good to see you out again Liz.

[@LizKreate]

Thanks for watching, Mick. Despite the heat, it was good to get out again! Wishing you all the very best for the New Year!🥰

[@normangage6953]

I had no idea Wal had passed. God bless you. You are definitely a strong person! Keep it going, love your videos!

[@LizKreate]

Thanks for your kind words! Wishing you all the best for the New Year!🥰

[@Keith-gl7cn]

Hearing your intro again after more than 7 years brings back so many childhood memories. I was really into collecting crystals when I was younger. I used to watch your videos over and over again lol. Then I got busier as I grew older, I'm 21 years old now. You and your husband were a big part of my childhood. May he rest in peace

[@LizKreate]

Thanks for watching, Keith and happy to know my videos were part of your childhood! Hopefully you'll continue to watch my videos as I set out for a whole new adventure. Wishing you all the very best for the year ahead.🥰

[@joanchaffinbawcom5722]

You go girl. I'm always amazed by the strength of women. I've been subscribed for a long time, and I would love to see you jewelry making if you still do it. And your garden too.

[@LizKreate]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Joan. I have quite a few videos of my garden via my other KZbin Channel called GROWING SUCCULENTS with LIZK. I have more regular video uploads on that channel. Link below if you're interested. As far as jewelry making, I'm just organizing myself at the moment to get back into it. Wishing you a Happy New Year!🥰 Growing Succulents with LizK - www.youtube.com/@GrowingSucculentswithLizK/videos

[@weasel6three597]

So sorry for your loss. The Boss will be missed but I'm sure he is watching over you. God bless.

[@LizKreate]

Thanks for watching and your lovely comment. I'm sure he's still with me guiding me where to go. Happy New Year!🥰

[@indyme2]

The AC 70 seems like it will be useful especially as backup power. So happy to see you adventuring again. You are one tough lady and will carry on as you should and Wal would want. Looking forward to following you along, Liz.

[@LizKreate]

Thank you so much for watching, Indyme. AC70 delivered and I think the best value for most applications. Wishing you a Happy Golden Year! 🥰

[@ccccarriemchardy9216]

Wal is smiling, good on you for continuing to do what you love.

[@PureWhite-g7i]

I too have been through some losses. it gets easier as time passes. Fake it till you make it. RESPECT

[@LizKreate]

I'm so sorry for your lost. Thanks for watching and have a Happy New Year!🥰

[@JaymLee98]

Im so glad you're back Liz! Wal would be so happy you are getting out there again and trying to enjoy what you both used to do together! Sending Healing to you!

[@LizKreate]

Thank you so much, JaymLee. Wishing you all the very best for 2025!🥰

[@poorfellamycountry]

Awesome to see you back and out again, Wals spirit is strong with you. He will be greatly missed. The Bluetti units are reliable and well built I've taken mine around Oz twice in past couple of years and run my off grid home with it. Solar panels are a varied bunch and after burning cells on a couple of cheaper branded blankets I opted for Redrarc ones, Bluetti has a purpose built charger for 12v and is cheaper than dc/dc charging for about the same time. I'll be back on the road from Tassie in beginning of May. Good luck!

[@LizKreate]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and support, much appreciated! Happy to hear of your adventures and wishing you all the very best for your upcoming trip! 🥰

[@Rriashiddentreasure]

So sorry for your loss Liz I really love watching your videos, you gave me great inspiration to take my children hunting for crystals and they absolutely enjoyed every moment.

[@homesteadaquarius]

It is great to see you back out there Liz! I am happy to see the review of the Bluetti, I am currently shopping for off grid power systems now. I plan on a whole house system of some design. That is a great power station to have! Congratulations! God bless your Journey!

[@LizKreate]

I too am thinking of a bigger system for my 55 foot catamaran. Bluetti also have bigger units that might be suitable. Thanks for watching and wishing you all the very best for the new year!🥰

[@Khamwese]

Sending you big hugs. I was very sorry to hear about the news. Wal is always near and around you. I think that the beautiful feather you found, is his sign that he is around you. You are a brave and strong woman, and it is wonderful to see you take that trip. All the love and very best wishes to you Liz. BIG hugs xxxx

[@LizKreate]

Thank you so much! Even when I did not see him when we go fossicking, he was always nearby. I'm sure it's still the same now that I'm flying solo. Thanks for watching and have a fantastic day!🥰

[@haynerbass]

Glad to see you out and about.

[@LizKreate]

Thanks for watching, Hayner. It was good to be out again. Looking forward to what the future brings. Wishing you a wonderful New Year! 🥰

[@nancythompson5055]

I’m so sorry about your husband passing, Liz! Hugs!! But… I’m glad to see you’re still going out and enjoying what you two always loved doing together! Much love to you Ma’am…you’re a strong and bada$$!! Please take care of yourself and be safe out there on your own

[@LizKreate]

Thank you for your sympathy, Nancy. 🤗 Hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks fort watching and wishing you all the very best for the new year!🥰

[@nancythompson5055]

@ you’re most welcome. I hope you know that we all love you and your videos and always enjoy them. Keep on living for you now, even though I know it’s hard. Your wonderful husband would want that for you.

[@JenniferMuir-g2y]

I loved this video and chance to go prospecting with you on your first solo trip. You are one tough cookie and your late husband would be thrilled that you are continuing to enjoy what you shared together. Having watched some of your other most recent videos I also wanted to say how disappointing and devastating it must have been for you to have attracted unwanted attention from people you thought were friends. As I sit here tonight battling another bought of major depression, your videos, your humour and your strength are so uplifting, thank you Liz for sharing with us ❤

[@LizKreate]

Thanks for watching Jennifer. I'm glad to know you also watch my other videos in my Succulent Channel. I'm also glad my videos have cheered you up. I'm still grieving the loss of my husband and Pedro the Budgie, and will be for a long while, and this is why I continue to go out prospecting. Having done this with them for a long time, I feel closer to them when I'm on the road. Hope my adventures through my videos continue to cheer you up. Take care and keep smiling.🥰

[@gouldgirl1966]

Sorry for your loss Liz. All the best for your solo trips. Love your videos.

[@LizKreate]

Thank you for watching. I'm so glad you liked the video. Take care and have a great day! Also wishing you the very best for the year ahead.🥰

[@englandshark6698]

Ahh, Liz, Wishing you all the best for your new adventures. Wal and Pedro will be looking down on you with love. Best wishes from England.

[@LizKreate]

Thank you very much for watching. I'm sure they're with me on my trips. Wishing you the very best for the year ahead.🥰

[@Evelynmay88]

Liz you are so inspiring. It looks like so much fun!! Thankyou for taking us with you on this trip!! Love how the AC70 uses solar to power. Nice. Great camping unit.

[@LizKreate]

Thank you for watching, Evelyn and happy to inspire! 🤗 Wishing you all the very best for 2025!🥰

[@nickibbear2933]

Hi Liz. I'm always on the lookout for your videos. This one was a sad shock. So many thoughts of what you have been personally going through is painful to swallow. It is wonderful to see you keep going and you most definitely have the will, drive and personality to achieve anything you desire. New adventures await you lovely lady. God bless.

[@LizKreate]

Thank you for watching, Nicki. I appreciate your kind words, I'm looking forward to what the future holds. Happy New Year! 🥰

[@anamariaboynton9983]

Very sorry for your loss. Life is not fair! Liz you are strong!

[@LizKreate]

It is how it is. I will continue to live life until my time is up. Thank you very much for watching and have a great weekend!🥰

[@jacknimble7950]

Wal is still with you, just ask him to watch your back. Prayers 🙏

[@LizKreate]

I'm sure he is but he also knows I can handle myself. Thanks for watching, Jack and hope you enjoyed the video. Have a fantastic day!🥰

[@Doxymeister]

Oh hey Liz, happy to see you again, out camping and prospecting again. I know Wal is there with you! That Bluetti sounds like a handy gadget to have--we were hit by a tornado this spring, and had no power for a few days. Us kids have been talking about getting either a generator or a power bank like the Bluetti, to keep our Mom's needs going in case of another power outage. Thank you for the recommendation!

[@LizKreate]

Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you enjoyed the video. I'm glad to hear that the Bluetti is a good option for your family in case of a power outage. AC70 is ideal for camping for me because of the weight, but if I were to get one for the house, I would pick a bigger unit with 500watt solar panel. Then I'm ready for techno-apocalypse. 😁 Wishing you all the very best for the year ahead!🥰

[@jourdainhiini6548]

😢I'm so sorry to hear of Wal and Pedro's passing. I'm sure they're both watching over you from heaven. I'm glad you are out fossicking again, seeing your videos has always brightened my day. I know the Boss and Pedro are with you as you fossick watching over you. My thoughts and prayers for you, God bless.

[@LizKreate]

Thank you so much for watching and your kind words, it means a lot to me. Happy New Year!🥰

[@elainebates6967]

I was saddened to hear the news from yourself of Wal. I hope you are doing well. It seems that you're doing well with this trip. I felt a lot of Love for you when you mentioned the feather and feeling Wal's presents while searching. Lots of Love, Light and Laughter Forever!

[@LizKreate]

Thank you so much for watching and your lovely comment, Elaine. I hope you enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful New Year!🥰

Well done, Liz! Happy New Year - certainly do trust 2025 will be happy & healthy for you with many more Adventures to come. I lost my Dad a couple months ago, so the Future is different from the Past, for sure. Keep safe, and glad you are back making videos. I'm quite impressed with the Sandwich Press! I'm always amazed how Aussie Adventurers eat so well on the trail and yoiur power bank certainly helps in that regard. Keep well!

This is why I always put on weight while on the road despite all the digging and walking. Thanks for watching. Happy New Year, and I wish you all the best for the year ahead! 🥰

[@rohantherockwiththerocketh7871]

Liz once I have a couple of things sorted out I'll happily go camping and prospecting with you especially if sapphire prospecting. I'm planning on having a caravan with the ensuite so you'd be able to have a shower as a bonus. I was so sorry to hear about Wal passing away(you have my commiserations)! I should have a couple of pieces of equipment made to my own specifications if you want to team up(large capacity classifiers) or I could simply help you move any large rocks. Anyway have fun and stay safe!

[@LizKreate]

Thanks for watching and the offer Rohan. That's very kind of you. At the moment, I just want to be a fly by night prospector/fisherwoman. Go or not, wherever & whenever.😉 Who knows, we might even bump into each other somewhere out there in the great Australian bush one day. Take care and wishing you all the very best for the year ahead. Happy Prospecting.🥰

Great to see you getting out there again, and great review of the Bluetti. Its been on my wish list. The sandwich press is a magical machine isnt it! A long time ago my stove blew, and I lcooked all our meals on the press until we were able to get a new one. I was amazed with the meals I was able to create on it 😂. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures ❤

[@LizKreate]

[@dianabest4807]

I have been wondering about this for road trips now and then.I appreciated your simple way of expressing things .I'm 81yrs old and don't understand all the technical stuff.Just need to know what small cooking appliances I can use to cook with.I have seen where some say if you use your car cigarette lighter to cook or charge power station you'll burn up the alternator.I have a Rav 4,2013.Can it be used directly while traveling without any other wiring.Any suggestions would be appreciated .Thanks.

[@LizKreate]

Thanks for watching, Diana. I too am not very technical but this is what I understood. Car batteries are designed to deliver very high amps for very short periods of time, mainly to start the engine, and then to be immediately recharged by driving the car. They are not designed to be left partly discharged for any length of time(as when used for cooking). If the battery is use without immediately starting the motor and letting it run long enough to fully recharge it, it’ll have a higher chance of damaged and the likelihood of flat battery leaving you stranded. We have a factory installed second battery(auxiliary) with an inverter connected directly to the battery. I just recently replaced(5 years use), 2 heavy duty deep cycle batteries, wired in series for 12V, and connected to a battery isolator between the alternator and the battery starter. This keeps the load away from the starter battery and channels charging to the auxiliary battery while in use for our fridge, charging detectors, camera and light. But I wouldn’t/never use it for cooker or high power devices. Even the small kettle since any appliance that requires heat will consume a lot of power, leaving the battery flat and might also damage it. And this is where a portable power bank that is chargeable via grid, solar panel and also "cigarette lighter plug(starter battery)" while driving is a safer option. So yes to your question. Your Rav 4 cigarette lighter plug can be used to charge the Bluetti AC 70(or similar power bank) without any modifications to your battery system, while on the road/driving/engine running. Unless of course one is prepared to spend big money on a heavy duty battery... Even a minimum 12v 100ah deep cycle battery will still set you back around AU$350, and will last depending on use (5 to 6 years). Plus the cost of the set-up and will take up more space in the car. Compare this with the cost of a portable power station (8 years minimum) is much better cost effective option. You can also use it as a back up power for the home during black outs to power your fridge, water pump, TV, etc. Wishing you all the very best on your travels. Take care and stay safe. 🥰
