Los Angeles, CA - (FirearmsGuide.com) - Yes, we were playing with Bigfoot, we were beating it up, testing it out and here are our impressions: Many of us from the firearms community like to hunt, shoot outdoors, hike, fish, and camp or just spend as much time as we can in the great outdoors. We also like our battery powered gadgets like GoPro cameras, smart phones, hand held GPS devices, digital cameras, camcorders, tablets and lately even drones. All of them require electrical power and in the outdoors we can’t find a power plug on every tree or under a rock.
We learn how to protect ourselves with guns, protective gear, mosquito repellant, bear sprays, but the truth is that WTSHTF our life can depend on Smartphones to call for help or on GPS…and they run on batteries. That’s why we have to think about these things before we put our safety on the line and go hunting with no backup power.
These are all the items in the Bigfoot package
So we tested the ToughTested Bigfoot 24,000 mAh Solar Battery Pack the last 2 weeks and we love it. 24,000 mAh is a lot of power (you can charge your phone 8-10 times) so this thing is relatively big, solid with an appropriately heavy lithium-ion battery. If someone sells you a 24,000 mAh power bank that is light as a paper clip, you can be sure that capacity of that power bank is 2,000 mAh. Power has to be stored in battery cells and lot of power equals lot of battery cells. But I would rather have more power and a heavier battery than no juice in light battery. After all, power banks are all about the power and Bigfoot is the champion in that category. Now when you’re camping or hunting or fishing you can have enough power to charge your smart phones or cameras and come back with great footage of your adventure.
On this picture you can see 10 solar panels built in Bigfoot case that charge your Bigfoot all the time during the day. See small green light in upper right hand corner. When that light is ON that means that Bigfoot is charging.
Another great feature of Bigfoot is the 400mAh solar panel built in on top of the Bigfoot. That solar panel is a new generation of solar panels so it provides 25% faster solar charging than the previous generation. It gives you the power you need when you’re truly off the grid. 4-5 hours of sun will collect enough energy to power your devices back to life up to 1 full charge and let you get connected or make that important rescue call. I think that feature is the best and that in life-death situation can be real life saver. Maybe your smart phone will run out of power, but the sun will still be there, and now you have a way to harvest the sun. Even though it will be tempting, do not leave the Bigfoot on the dash of your car in full sunlight because excessive heat can damage any battery including the Bigfoot.
Carabiner to attached your Bigfoot to your backpack when hiking is provided in Bigfoot package. We tested it this weekend and we love the fact that while we hiking our battery pack is charging so that by the end of the day we have enough power. Check the green light - it is ON again even if we are in the shade...and we love it.
The Bigfoot also has Rapid Charging Technology built into so you can charge up to 75% faster in and out for QC enabled devices. Also, with the newest USB Type C technology Bigfoot is capable of powering the latest Macbooks and Chromebooks with USBC 3A/5V power and providing charging speeds 10X faster on smartphones. The Instasense Power Sharing Technology chip detects your device and provides the proper power to charge any device at factory spec….and it can charge up to 3 devices simultaneously.
The third great Bigfoot feature is the built-in flashlight. I am sure that you already have a flashlight, but it is always great to have another one, especially if it is built-in a battery pack that can solar charge itself. The flashlight has 4 modes: High-Low-Strobe-SOS and we found it quite good for emergency needs. If you keep the Bigfoot in your truck it will be a great emergency flashlight when you have a flat tire or any other problem on the road. I was playing with the flashlight the whole weekend camping on Big Bear mountain.
Case is tough, tactical looking, waterproof, TSA compliant, shock-proof and guaranteed safe. What do you need more?
Often when you buy cheap gadgets on Ebay you are surprised at how cheaply they are built. Not with the Bigfoot. It is built like a tank. Waterproof up to 1m for 30 minutes and shock proof, rugged patent-pending outer casing protects from drops and impacts. I love Bigfoot’s outer casing. It’s cool looking, waterproof and tough and that’s all I need. With Bigfoot you will also get a 5 year warranty so if something goes wrong you are covered in that department too.
On the back of the case you have 4 lights that indicate power lever of the battery in use or charging and button that you hold for 3 sec to tun battery On or OFF.
I think the Bigfoot is a must have for every hunter. If you going to hunt with your $50,000 truck with your $1,500 rifle and $500 revolver, spending $400 on gas, food, ammo, and other small things, and then get stuck 4 miles from camp with a broken leg and no juice in your phone because you saved $30 on power bank that you bought on Ebay from mainland China that has a 28 days delivery time ….then you are not smarter that a Bigfoot. If you are not a hunter, but just responsible person or the head of the family you should have Bigfoot in your emergency kit in case of a catastrophe, flood, earthquake, typhoon, hurricane or power outage. I have mine and I love it.
