OP is camping in a forest.. Wind turbines require OPEN unobstructed areas.. Not to mention the one in the link states 8-30 MPH wind.. 8 MPH is when the gen STARTS to charge (IE cut in) and at that wind speed you are only getting a few milliamps of charge current..
The max output would be at the 30 MPH level and that is only 400W.. I would NOT want to be in the woods when the wind is 30MPH at say 8 to 10ft off the ground :E Those tall trees will be swaying something fierce..
Wind is not "dependable", can not predict when and how how much wind you will get so most folks who have wind turbines typically have a backup plan "B" and sometimes backup plan "C".. Typically solar AND a backup generator..
