As fishermen, we often find ourselves in far away, off-the-grid locations with boat, auto or ATV batteries that need charging. And for hardwater guys like myself, there's always a need for power on the ice for permanent fishhouses.
The solution? A portable inverter generator.
A quality
inverter generator can be used at camp to charge batteries and power amenities like electric lighting, appliances, and TVs. And even if you’re not off-the-grid, a generator can come in handy during power outages. Any way you slice it, the hero is the guy with the genny.
Now that powerful 2000-watt-plus generators weigh no more than a fully stocked tackle box, they’re easy to hump backcountry. Whether you’ve got a gasoline, diesel, propane (LP gas), or natural gas genny, running out of fuel is the only real potential issue.
But what if you had a genny that could run on gasoline and natural gas and LP gas? Burn up all the gasoline? No prob! Just grab that 20-pound propane tank off the camp BBQ grill and you’re in business! Same for natural gas! As gasoline prices increase, other fuel types have become a lot more attractive. You’re set with all three; buy what’s cheapest!

The best part? I can stay in the fishhouse when the bite is on, watch football, and not have to worry about driving into town when the genny runs dry. Since we heat with propane, it's just a matter of tying into a spare tank!
And at the the end of the day, less dinking around translates into one thing ... more fish on the ice.
