Haha. I’ll have to look into doing that! Wolfram can pull stuff like weather, sunrise and sunset data, gps coordinate conversions, river and flood stages, or even tell you what aircraft are flying...

I’ve have it take a while when I was hiking through a canyon, but never that long. There has been some ‘holes’ in the constellation due to some failed birds in several orbital slots but I believe...

I would certainly agree with you when you are talking about communications with LMR (land mobile radio), especially in areas with lots of obstructions. But with Iridium, you are communicating between...

The wattage isn't really as important as the device location. As long as you are outdoors and have an unobstructed view of the sky your message will go through (at least if its anything like my...

Looks like a great device for someone that wants simple SOS and canned messages only. For me, I really like my Inreach with the integrated on screen GPS and enough buttons to quickly compose text...

Alright, alright, I get it! One of these days I hope to see you on the trail so I can sneak some rocks in your pack for that one! :p

Since this was at Springer and they had just started their...

So this happened the other day on Springer....

Good way to get a trail name!

I try not to J-walk, but I have been known to run with scissors and not waiting an hour to swim after I eat.

You call it hyperbole, I call it safety. No argument though on the drunken yahoos! (Or druken yahoos with a refilled canister!! :eek:)

I dont think anyone is condemning you, others just have a different opinion. My opinion is you can do whatever you want with your stove canisters. You think its perfectly safe, I think it is not. ...

Exactly. Not worth the risk for the little amount of money saved. If you are going to do this, at least cook away from others so you only injure yourself!

I'd love to see something like this work but its going to have to get down to about 1lb before its worth it to me. For the same weight (2.86lbs) I could carry at least 50,000mAh of battery packs...

The confined space was definitely a contributor. I don’t believe anyone snuck something in a law. I have seen enough of those brand new 1lb propane cylinders leak after a single use to know they are...

I meant to say it may NOT apply...

I found the video below which is talking about refilling DOT39 cylinders. That is where the DOT reg I mentioned came from. I'm not sure camp stoves are considered DOT39 so it may apply, but them...

I'm no going to criticize anyone for trying to say money, so do as you see fit. However I personally would never do that because I would be afraid of leaks. Those Lindal valves are cheap and not...

John,

I was in a similar situation and decided to go see an Orthopedic Doctor so I could be sure of the problem. With only knowing the symptoms, not the underlying problem, I knew I would not be...

The troop was just there last weekend. Problem with Shiloh is there is no place to backpack.

I am going to be taking some Boy Scouts over to Natchez Trace State Park this weekend so I though I would resurrect this thread. Anyone been there lately? The website says overnight camping is...

Hi Deerleg. I too was hoping that might be a viable option. Unfortunately one that is capable of being taken backpacking does not have the capacity to charge a smartphone. It just needs to much...

You are right that the Goal 10 would do better, but I have testing this and the AA NiMH batteries just cant deliver the power that Lithium batteries can. Plus the lithium weighs less. The AA seems...

No problem.

On the Orange Joos these are the published panel specs: 2.4 – 2.6W without reflectors, 4.0W to 5.2W with reflectors (depending on latitude)

So assuming you would get 2.5W from this...

The battery will not skew the results. I am measuring the power output of the solar panel into the battery pack. At first I hacked up a USB cable and attached the multimeter to it, but then I found...

Good question on the tree cover. I have not done testing under tree cover but I would guess its pretty low. I'll do some testing and let you know.

As for the battery, I also spend a lot of time...

Hi leafyeye. While I would say you need decent conditions, you dont need perfect conditions to get a charge with a good solar panel. I have tested multiple panels including Goal Zero, Suntactics,...
