I'm a university student so it's okay for me to be kinda odd. I got a big old tramping back pack, a car battery and an inverter and rigged them up into a power backpack. I had enough power for a 6 hour working day and hot lunch cooked with a 12v stove thing, which saved on the expensive cafeteria. I rarely use the set up any more as i'm not in good enough shape to lug around a car battery on my back any more, but it worked well. If anyone tries this be careful in hot weather, it ruins the battery quite quickly. For a while i actually did this. I’m a university student so it’s okay for me to be kinda odd.
