Love that you are following your dream. You seem so much more confident!

Congratulations on receiving the Jackery❣️ I love Jackery. I have the smallest one since that is all I can afford right now. One day. Great product review. 👍

[@traveldreamer4616]

Good honest overview. Thank you for highlighting how the Jackery works with your needs.

I’m so happy Jaylena for you and Jason having a beautiful friendship ❤️❤️😘😘getting your Van All fixed Off Grid Pensacola ❤️❤️😘😘

[@mistysedillo1696]

Very thorough explanation. Thanks girl! I simplified my life buying a 100 year old farmhouse and am restoring it since 2017. I sold the RV and am looking to get a van to build out to get away once in awhile. Thanks for inspiring me! You are so sweet as well!💜

[@LeaveHerWild]

That’s amazing! Good luck on your journey girl!😄

Thank you!❤️

Pro tip: oversize your solar and battery bank so you can store more from sunny days. Also, wire it so that you never have to think about it. Permanently mounted on your roof to keep it topped off every day. Also, for anyone who may have a car parked for a week or more: Amazon sells a $25 solar battery maintainer. You plug it into your cigarette lighter and it keeps your car battery full. Also, you can get 20,000 mah solar USB battery banks (that fold out with 4 mini solar panels) which are great for small USB things like a small fan, led lights, or a small electric water pump for a small indoor sink. All self contained - just mount it in your window.

[@Bumpyi64]

I've heard Jackery solar panels are ruined during rainfall...? So, permanently mounting them to a roof would be pure folly - they are expensive for most people...

[@shealovesjesuschrist]

@@Bumpyi64 correct, the panels cannot be in the rain.

[@rhondapelletier2141]

Thx!

[@WayneWatson1]

That's a great option for off grid and mobile use. One big option is if something happened, you could always keep your cell phone charged with it. God bless and stay safe

[@cheryldye505]

We have solar for our house here in Colorado .. we noticed our solar panels produce energy when there’s a full moon and also when the sun reflects on the snow .. our panels seem to produce more when it’s not super hot .. we love our solar and you will too ..

[@LeaveHerWild]

That’s really interesting!

[@24bidy]

Cheryl what Solar Power you use ?

[@cheryldye505]

24bidy we got our solar system from SunRun .. we have an all electric house so having solar really offsets our usage .. we also use a wood stove during the colder snowy cloudy months of December through March ..

I love how you did this Jackery review. The unpacking at the beginning the product info in the middle and the packing up for the ending. You showed the world how easy it is to use the jackery and how quick it is to set up and take back down. Good job! Hugs to Y'all

[@LeaveHerWild]

Thank you!🤗

[@biblesnbarbells]

Thanks for the video. just purchased the Jackery 1000 to use in my van/rv. Stay Ready!

[@415sassyfre]

Kind of forgetting it's a blessing to have one of those instead of all those solar panels and there's a dangerous batteries that you would have to carry around in your car and also when there is a power outage these are great for elderly people to have they should have one in their house so they can plug in the wall and keep it charged in case there is emergencies I love my little jackery

[@1995ss100]

You can do the same thing with a good deep cycle battery . I made one with a group 30 deep cycle battery and a rv battery box ordered a marine grade usb and power outlet and mounded them on the top. I bought two flexible solar panels that I mounded on my truck topper. I keep a freezer cooler plugged in all the time. I also use a 700watt microwave and a 24 in flat touch screen computer for work and watch tv or youtube

[@HeatherHasToStartSomewhere]

Thank you for sharing how you are using the jackery. Looking forward to seeing you on your next project 😁 Sending hugs, love and prayers 😊💕🙏

Jaylena, I have seen several descriptions of the Jackery and its use. But this is the best one that I have ever seen. You told us everything that we need to know in a very clear and simple way! Thanks So Much!

[@foodcoffeefreedom8297]

Such a beautiful soul. Your smile always warms my heart! 💜💜

[@av8orAH64]

Good practical applications video. I appreciate your willingness to give us your perspective on the Jackery.

[@jenniferrae6646]

Hi Jaylena. This is a little on down the road, two months late. Just wanted to say, before you place the panels on the roof, make sure to clean the solar panels. Wet cloth best. You may do this, but I didn't see. You would be amazed how much difference it makes if they are clean and shiny.

[@denniscoughlin7437]

What a cool lifestyle i have wanted to live as a nomad for as long as i can remember.

[@donnaskin]

Congrats on getting the Jackery Sponsorship Jaylena! 💖💖💖 Don't forget to clean the solar panels before you put them away so they'll last longer and work better for the long haul. Also have ya looked into magnetic fly screens to put on your door so you can keep bugs and goats out of the van? 😃 And look into getting an old school bunny ears antenna for your TV at Walmart so you can keep up with the local News/Weather station. It's better to be safe than sorry with potential bad weather coming your way especially when it comes to Tornados. Just don't forget to scan for the channels before hand and if you don't get that many channels the first time just move the antenna around a few times and rescan until you get a good amount of channels. Also a lot of digital TV Networks have dedicated movie channels now and some actually show old school shows like Saved by The Bell, The Brady Bunch, Magnum P.I. , Roseanne, Home Improvement , How I Met your mother Etc... Etc... Should definitely keep you entertained. 😎

[@LeaveHerWild]

I have a couple bug screens on my wishlist that I’ll be ordering here pretty soon! Definitely need them!! And an antenna would be awesome!

[@lincolnklee]

@@LeaveHerWild dollar store or big lots have the screens

Thank for this video because I was wanting to get the jackery but I wasent sure which one to go for and now I know thank you for that . I can't wait to wach the rest of your van build and the tiny house. I hope you have a wonderful day 💗 💛 😊😊

[@BunnyPlaysHere]

Thanks for this video.. I have been traveling for about 3 1/2 years camping and such but have recently purchased a van and am in the process of gearing up for my build... great to see your review makes it easy to see the function - SUBBED!!!

[@lorikodama8212]

That was a very detailed and thorough review of the Jackery. I have to say that almost every "homesteading" channel has one and to your credit, your review was one of the best. I'm guessing that Jason was one of the first KZbinrs to review it, and probably has their og sponsored promo package. He should hit them up and request the same setup that they sent you. I'd be willing to bet that he's sold quite a few of those units for Jackery, since hes constantly using it in his videos. I'm really enjoying your content lately Jaylena. Not that I didn't before, but it seems like you've figured out what direction you want your channel to go to, and what your brand is. In your earlier videos, it was a little of everything, and you seemed a tad bit uncomfortable at times. Now, you really seem much happier, and it shows in you videos. Keep up the great content and always "be wild".

[@LeaveHerWild]

Thank you! I believe he is still in contact with them. I really appreciate your comment! I’m definitely in a much different/better place in my life and I’m very excited with the direction of the channel!🤗

[@marystrenke3050]

@@LeaveHerWild Jaylena, we are so proud of you. I'm 61 and still figuring it out, been married 38 years and lost myself along the way. I'm sure most of us women have-- you're very special and we love you.btw, I also rediscovered myself, saved my marriage and found a way to be fulfilled within the confines of marriage. Sometimes same address, sometimes not.

[@LeaveHerWild]

mary strenke Thats amazing! I’m so happy for you! I’m still learning and still finding myself, but I’m much happier now during the journey!☺️

[@lorikodama8212]

@@marystrenke3050 yes! I'm 60 and still learning. Unfortunately, there isn't a manual that you're given once you become an adult. I've made many mistakes in my lifetime, and expect to make a few more now and then. Jaylena, you remind me of myself when I was your age, and the only advice I can give you is follow your heart, but don't let anyone take advantage of you. You will find that as you get older, the real Jaylena will start emerging from the ashes of life's challenges, and you will see people as they really are. Always remember the bad times because they are what make you wiser, and more appreciative of the great times. I really think that both you and Jason can survive this bump in the road. Just remember that marriage is a process of learning about each other, and helping each other grow together. It's really hard right now because you're both young, and still figuring out who you are individually. Give it time to grow without unrealistic expectations, and you'll have a wonderful marriage and lifetime together. I'm rooting for you both either way.💖

[@BigDmike24]

Seems like a really good power supply. I'ma check it out 👍👍

[@jfinnall]

The Jackery I think is an awesome device since it includes the Lithium battery internally. Usually the largest expense is the battery and Lithium is the most expensive but with the longest lifespan. You should also be able to mount additional solar panels on the roof top that are compatible and run all the panels if desired. But this unit is portable and can even be charged in a motel room or a friends house, etc. So even if you change vans or something this unit can easily move with you. I suspect it will also charge from multiple inputs concurrently. For instance roof top solar panels and vehicle lighter plug while driving in daytime. Great video review of the product.

[@GrandmaBugsPlace]

Came across your video as I was looking for info on this item. You did a good job of explaining what it is capable of. I have a small RV that I recently purchased and for now I'm doing near home glamping ( smile ) so I have plug in. I know at some point I want to venture beyond my neighbor hood and will not have full hook up so I wanted some sort of solar energy device for little things. Curling Iron, hair dryer laptop/i Pad etc. so I think this would be a good option for me. Because we are near the end of warmer days here in Colorado that this won't happen real soon. But during the winter months I can do some shopping for my Spring into Summer outings. AGAIN....thank you and good video. Oh and I am following you also. hugs and be safe

[@LeaveHerWild]

That’s awesome! Yes, I do think it’s great for the things you mentioned! And thank you for checking out the video, I’m glad you enjoyed and hopefully it helped! Good luck on your rv journey!🤗

I like the knowledge base that you're building. You might also be able to hang the solar panels on the side of the van especially in winter when the sun is low. If you have rain gutters, that would be one way to hang them.

Great broadcast... PS doing some research and found if you melt some coconut oil make sure it's not hot to the touch put it in a fine mister bottle and suppose to keep ticks away on us and animals. Also if it gets solid put cap and bottle in warm water to melt! Happy travels!!! ❤️🤗 Hey how long is the cord from the jackery to the panels??? Here's a tip there are appliances that are small they are called DASH brand if you run out if propane you can get them at bed bath and beyond I have the skillet I think it's the mini 8" it will work on the Jackery anything 1000 watt or under I love it even in my apartment saves me money! Also the mini waffle make will work and the griddle , egg cooker, mini bite maker... there's more check out bed bath and beyond!!! Anything 1000 watts or under will work instant pot and 1000 watt electric burner or an electric blanket THROW it's like 120 watts they tell me also should work in the jackery $28.99 Walmart hurry going fast! I've got the as seen on TV heater but it has to be plugged directly into a wall outlet so looking for one under 1000 watts to work on Jackery. My next stop truck stops with stores alot of that will work like one cup coffee makers with cig lighter will work in theory!!! All their stuff should work!!!

I don’t know exactly how long they are, but I’d say maybe around 5ft or so

@@LeaveHerWild im trying to get money up to buy one and the panels but was hoping they were longer I'll contact them and see if you can use extensions... I had a break in while I was getting ready for work at 3 am it was scary so I'm trying to minimize any theft where I am it's a small town but outsiders coming in. It's a bummer can't even have pepper spray in upstate NY illegal! Thank you.
