I'm only half kidding. I'm a bit of a prepper and I have lots of powerbanks and devices that charge from USB but besides idling my truck I really had no other way to charge any of them in case of a long-term power outage which seemed a bit of an oversight on my part.

Not like this solves the issue. 30 watts (under ideal conditions) isn't much but it's a start.

A looter - finally!

  • That local prepper, probably

The prepper will likely be camped and there will be signs someone's been in the area recently, the looter or looters would have a pretty big advantage.

Doesn't the defending side in a war usually suffer fewer casualties?

If you're talking about an entrenched battle. A looter would have the element of surprise, which in a 1v1 is basically an instant win.

See preppers camp, setup in some shrubs, wait, pew pew, now you have the preppers stuff.

Good point, if you observe from a safe distance and setup an ambush.
