You should give one of these battery units a whirl. No, it's not a fuel generator where you can supply it fuel and it will run until the oil is gone and it freezes up. However, they will do most everything you need and usually have little lacking in way of performance. If you couple this unit with the proper solar rig for charging you have something that can extend your stay in the wilds of wherever you go without needing to carry fuel, oil, tools for maintenance etc. This is dependent on what size unit you'd need to operate the items you like for comfort.

Camelcamelcamel says this is the lowest price ever, and $20 coupon to boot. Looks to be a good deal!

What is your use case? I have solar on my camper and 9x% of the time have zero need for a generator to boondock as solar keeps my supplied.

Situations for me that could benefit from a generator:
-If ever needing to run the AC in the summer while boondocking, but camping at altitude usually negates that need.
-Over 2 days of no sun in the winter, I use 30-40% of my battery bank in 24hrs when winter camping so I can do two full days with no sun (or snow on the panels) after that I need to clean them off and/or get some sun otherwise I need to charge off my truck or somethign.
-Running an electric heater in the winter to reduce propane consumption. Somewhat a trade off to carry and generator and gas cans versus bringing extra propane. Refilling gas cans is easier though in many cases depending on the duration.

Home use more so than camping, freezers fridge when power is out. Plus to hook up to furnace if needed. Most of my camping utilities cook stove etc. uses small propane canisters.

Roger that. I keep debating on getting the 3000w predator generator at harbor freight (gonna be on sale later this week fyi) for home needs but haven't lost power around here in over a decade so harder to justify. But with 3 freezers full of meat/fish for instance I worry at times.

My camper is next to my house and with a long extension cord I could run freezers one by one from it (and solar would charge it up) but I'd need a larger inverter to run the furnance and that would also drain down batteries faster. A generator makes more sense for at home IF I had a power outage, esp. in winter.

Also batteries age, a properly stored generator is gonna last a long time.

You're going to want a much larger battery pack than the one you posted to run your home furnace, freezers or refrigerator for more than an couple hours.

Why I don't need/plan on buying a 'battery pack' already share a big generator if needed with family members but eventually will buy a smaller Honda EU2200 gen. For people thst use a lot of electronics when camping the Jackery might be worth it.

Goal Zero and Ecoflow are also having giant sales on Amazon. Ecoflow seems to be rated higher and it’s 1800w. Anyone have any experience with any of these brands?

I've been using the Jackery 300 to run my Starlink and a 12v fridge/freezer at my base camp. It doesn't have enough capacity to run the 12v fridge all day. It has no problem running the Starlink and I believe it would run it for over 4 hours. I've got a 100w solar panel but solar in the mountains during hunting season isn't that great. I usually end up running my Honda 2000 generator for an hour or so every night while cooking dinner. That will usually charge the Jackery 100%. I'll be upgrading to a larger capacity unit.
