TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

OK Brainstrust
Any thoughts on the cheap solar set-up in the forthcoming ALDO sale?
Li battery and solar panel for $700- and loose change
It' got to the stage where my sleep apnea is life threatening after 3 days according to my quack. Not the apnea itself but the falling asleep at the wheel aspect

I would be careful regarding anything with cheap L ion batteries. Fire is a constant worry.

Seems OK so far. But I don't charge at night, only during the day when we get a decent amount of solar, I'm actually more worried about the battery charger catching fire than the batteries

Looks like the list is up:

I wonder if it's going to be hard to actually pick up stuff.
The merino stuff seems like a bargain compared to branded competitors.
