A Generator For Traveling to Remote Areas
There are important differences between the models on our list, and you should be able to find one that precisely meets your needs here. Whether you need more space, easier transportation, precise organization of all your cables, or just a simple canvas jumper cable bag to keep your cables safe and together, there are options for you on this list.
It’s worth bearing in mind though that any jumper cables are only as useful as what you can attach them to. If you’re traveling in convoy, that’s fine. If you’re on your own, it’s worth investing in a generator, so that you can just whip your jumper cables out of your bag, attach them to your power source, and make your own salvation.
That’s worth thinking about if you regularly travel in remote areas, or regions of hostile weather, because you can never be sure anyone will a) come along any time soon, or b) stop to help you if they do. Traveling with a small generator, as well as your bag full of jumper cables, is the safest way to travel inhospitable or offroad. It also allows you to be independent in the event of engine failure.
