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.

Any thoughts on the cheap solar set-up in the forthcoming ALDO sale?

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
