I was just watching this video in the website that shows this folding back pack-able wind turbine. Thought I'd share it here. Could it be scaled up some and work when we are where there is plenty of wind.
Micro Wind Turbine weighs about as much as an umbrella.

If these were affordable & efficient enough a camp could have it's own "wind farm" to supplement
the Solar power. These may even scare off unwanted "varmint's" that would come prowling around camp.
A few red blinking LED lights and a buzzer triggered by a proximity switch could discourage curious scavengers.
