A camping Stove that Charges phones?

Found this beauty today. It is a camping stove that can power USB devices. 

From the reviews I have seen this is another must have product.

It is a campfire stove that burns small pieces of branches or sticks. As it gets hot, a fan blows and creates a  cyclone.  This airflow forces the fire to get hotter.  This heat in turn gets turned into electric energy which charges your USB devices.  Current prices I have seen are around $129.  For something this functional it is well worth the price.  Can be found here.

Another day at the farmers market

We went out for a ride.  On the way home I decided we should check out the weekend farmers market.  We ended up seeing a vendor who deals in solar cooking appliances.  During the interview she told us that she saves 30% on her electric bill.  She had a few portable units and she sells the plans as well.  The one in the lower left pictured is just foil and cardboard.  I should make one of these to make my coffee when I am out and about.  With just a few minutes and some sunlight you can cook.

This is her home versions which she cooks with regularly.

Some guys having fun making music for all to enjoy for free.

Fresher, bigger and nicer looking then what you can get at the grocery store.

Something like this is my dream.

I would love to get a small house somewhere and have a backyard farm with solar power as they have in this video.  Would perhaps take it a few steps further with aquaponics. That is raising fish in series with the plants.
