    Default Goal Zero + Pelican

    Cleaning out my email I found these pictures I meant to post months ago. I like the Goal Zero light-a-life's, but I was hesitant to toss them in a box with other gear. The pelican case may be overkill, but I like that the system is now self contained. I plan to add one more light, and two spare bulbs to the right of the battery pack. All of the cords/adapters are in the zippered pouch.

    Very nice. I don't think it's overkill at all. I subscribe to the mantra "take care of your gear and it will take care of you." it looks like you do as well.

    Thanks YotaPilot, I live by a similar mantra... Buy the best stuff you can afford, and take care of it so you don't have to buy it again. I saw that Goal Zero sells there own case now, but it is way overpriced.


    98Roamer- Thanks, those are the walk out doors in my in-laws daylight basement.

    Very nice and not at all over-kill in my book either. As a Pelican case owner myself (multiple cases mind you) I subscribe to the mantra that it is cheaper to spend the money on quality protection than to replace something expensive when it breaks. Not to mention the oldest Pelican case in the family is almost as old as I am, I know that they have a long life and can always be repurposed.

    Oh, and those are nice doors!

    4low- Thanks for the kind words. And nice ZJ! I've got a an 89 YJ, but when I'm carrying bulky gear like this, I'm the the Avalanche.

    Mandingo- I believe the case is a 1550, but I'll have to check after work to be sure. The interior dimensions are about perfect for this setup. (Texted the little woman... the case is indeed a 1550.)


    Thanks!

    Thanks for checking that out! Now I am off to buy a Pelican case!

    ETA ordered the case. This site sure seems to make me spend money!

    Hey Matt- I dig the soft case! I've been trying to work up something similar, as a slick place to keep one lantern in the truck full time. With the cigarette lighter adapter, they make one heck of an underhood light.

    Also, I tried to go to your site, but google chrome says you may have a malware problem! Could be my filter, or could be worth checking out...
