Lots of usb powered stuff at the cabin: LED lighting, iPads, phone chargers, clippers, fans, bug zapper, camera…
Cabling used to be one messy box of the same cables. That’s changed, I’ve finally sorted them into bags: the newer type C, Apple phone, extensions, misc types, ends cut off, and old style. No more digging through all when I need one.

I probably need to do that. I have a bunch in the cabin and a pile in the shop too.
One solution is a got a couple 6 foot chords with multiple ends on the same chord.

Hey Darz. Those are nice. I have one shorter one, great for items like the phone or razor that only stay plugged in while charging. For more permanent things like a light on the wall I just use the singles.
Another item I’m fond of is this usb buss. Has individual on lights and switches. I keep the fan and TV speakers plugged in and just switch on when needed.

Our cabin isn't off grid so I only need USB for phone or tablet. I have three dual output USB chargers that I leave at the three locations (bedroom, living room, porch) I use them. Each charger has two 10' cords connected, one USB-C and one micro USB, so I can use either or both. It's a lot easier than carrying the chargers and wires around.

Same at my grid house. USB phone, tablet. No lights, no fans..
Found these in my box too. Stretch out to a couple feet, spring retract to nothing. Probably ought to find a use replacing dangled cords. That one triple looks like apple, micro and not sure what that long skinny terminal fits. Seems I’ve seen that somewhere, just can’t remember where.
