I like the sound of the info about the tree etc, you could combine it with a small QR code for people who have phones without NFC. I spent a fair bit of time stood under/patrolling a stretch of road in Sheffield to stop amey/scc from chopping trees down at 3am.

Interesting thread this, I've been looking at one of those Jackery things, but I've got an old ups at work, rated at 1kva, the slab's are only 7 or 10ah, so assuming that the inverter bit works I was tempted to rip it apart, rebox it and grab a couple of 95-110ah batteries and run it from those...
