Mount climbers always experiencing unexpected situation such as their cellphone is running out of battery especially in a long trip of mount climbing. This situation is become worst when they are stuck or ashtray in the middle of the mountain. The use of renewable energy for power storage would solved this crisis. Hence, the aim of this project is to develop an emergency power pack for mount climber with Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation system. This power pack is using renewable energy sources; solar-wind energy, to store the energy inside a power bank for emergency use. Moreover, it also includes an SOS feature where the climber can push the `panic button' to send an emergency notification message together with the exact location via Short Messaging Service (SMS) when they went astray in the middle of their climb to the rescue team.
