So i'm going on a trip this month and for that and future purposes like camping or just going outside and wanting to make music.... what are some power solutions?
Right now i'm going to be using a OP-1 (which will have it's own power if i charge it), a Koma Field Kit and a few guitar pedals. I might also like to power a small eurorack skiff.
What's the best and most portable way to power this setup (preferably something i can take on a plane).

Beats me. Maybe check if Xtorm has something solar powered that has enough juice?

Something like this will do it for you. You'll need a hefty amount of power storage depending on how long you're out.
Everything I've heard about the OP-1 says it keeps a charge for a very long time so don't worry about that one.

I was actually looking at that exact one earlier today from a thread on muffwiggler and while it has the 12v it doesn't have 9v for guitar pedals.

Looks like the beefier (and pricier but I dont think you give a shit about that) ones will provide the same amount of charge, plus the ability to plug in 3 prong cord shit. This one (and the related items) should do it:

only one caveat:

but that 42K might be enough for you?

Yeah i noticed the FAA limit... but is that carry on or checked in or both?
Also I saw this one which has a standard outlet
100W 120V AC/150V HVDC Outlet
So i could plug a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 or similar into that and run power to everything that requires 9v or 12v through that?

If you're planning on bringing any outdoor euro system, the pedal power 2 might not provide enough amperage to power it.
Portable battery devices can only be brought on a plane as carry on, can't be checked in baggage.

Yeah... i do WANT to be able to add euro at some point so definitely need to take that into consideration but i'm just thinking about my upcoming trip and using what i already have, i can find the right pedal power supply later. I will i'll just need power for the Field Kit (9v 500ma so i can split the two high ma outlets on the PP2+) and use the rest of the 9v for various pedals. Or i also have an extra Pedal Power Digital i could use....
But i will want to know a good pedal power solution that is small and could power a small skiff AND pedals AND work off that battery if that's possible.

Well dammit, i was about to go with the Omnicharge....
but these seem super convenient for this purpose and for travel. I would need one specifically for the Koma Field Kit since it is 500mA and one more to power a handful of other pedals and it seems like it would last quite a long time but mainly awesome for being so small.
