Rivas, Reos and camping.

[Twisty]

A few days ago I went camping for 2 nights. I took 3 riva batteries, 4 14500s, 3 IMR 18650s and 3 5 volt 18650s all fully charged. As I am getting ready to hike in to the remote camp sites I have a change of heart. I set up camp at a site with electric hook up just in case, paying $10 a night more for the privilege.

I think you coulda made it on battery power
but it would be close,better to have too much than not enough

And a partridge in a pear tree? So you paid $10 per night for power, did you bring the charger?

That kind of sucks but at least you had a vacation. Hope it was a good one.

We're going camping soon to the outback...but at least we'll have the car with the second battery to charge things, but YIKES I'm getting nervous at the thought.
I read about the explosion of bush rat populations in parts out there due to all the rain....said to chew through cars electrical wiring.
I'm imagining all kinds of (probably highly unlikely)scenarios!
I'm also imagining the invention of some kind of compact wear it on your backpack solar powered battery charger thingamajig specifically for vaping hikers/campers.
Surely it must be possible?
Or do I have too much imagination going on?

That was more than enough battery power! lol, I only need to change my 18650 like once every other day, sometimes not even that often

For how long???

Vapers are an obsessive bunch, aren't we.

Think what you'd do when you smoked cigarettes. (Assuming you used to. I think it's a safe assumption.)

Personally, when I went out into the wilderness, which used to happen for 2-3 weeks at a time, I just packed a pack per day. Sometimes I smoked less that than, especially when I was getting a lot of exercise, so I knew I was covered.

Likewise- I get through about 1000mAh of vaping power a day. (Really more like 900, but I like to be safe.)

So if I were going on a week wilderness holiday, I'd pack:

10 750mAh batteries.

Or 3 2600mAh batteries.

Or 8 1000mAh...

you get the idea.

And pack a few extras- but don't oversweat this.

when I smoked, if I ran out of ciggies, I had to do without for a little while.


If you run out of power, or juice, same same.

It's why they call it roughing it.

When I went camping and ran out of batteries, I bought a pack of cigarettes

We're going camping this weekend, and all my stuff is going with me. But we're camping in this

so I don't think there will be any issues.

That's not camping that's moving.

 

[Twisty]

I didn't have to charge anything. Didn't even use the electric. I did let let a gal from the neighboring camp site use one of my rivas one night while sitting around the fire. She may be joining us here soon.

BAHAHA! I know, right??!! Thing is, this is our home. We're fulltimers. So we do "move" when we go camping.

 

[JustaGuy]

Actually, if you had a car charger, wouldn't that do, as long as you won't be too far away from it and it's secure?

They make solar chargers(Solio-I have 4). And I have back up battery that takes the e-cig usb's. Its 5000mAh. Even keeps the iphone charged. About $30(I won mine in a contest), but then you wouldnt need to get electric EVER. Its about the size of a 5v box mod. Has an on/off button....
