Yeah, I'm aware the advertised ratings are bugger all accurate, but thanks for the heads-up.
@
demoncyclist, I've thought about solar recharging so I read your reply in the solar panel thread with interest. I've tried solar charging myself with a small panel years ago and wasn't impressed. I'm sure the panels have come a long way since then, and also I'm no longer looking to recharge while on the go. In our current family situation we'd stay put for a couple of days, in camp or a wilderness hut. What kind of panel do you use (nominal wattage)?
Ziplock bags... in my experience, if we're camping and it's raining for a couple of days, gradually everything gets damp, bagged or not. Unless of course one doesn't open the bags at all. That's why I prefer manufacturers' water resistant designs, with IP ratings if possible.
Thanks for the suggestions so far!
