heckmanm Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Taking some mandatory online training. Can't just read the screens, have to wait for the slow-talking recording lady to read them to me before clicking through to the next screen. About 2/3 through and I accidentally did a "refresh" thinking i was refreshing a page in a different browser window. IT STARTED OVER Took about 30 minutes just to get back to where I was. And now I just had to sit through a couple minute mock "karaoke" video where some broad was singing about her poor practice of taking care of confidential documents. JFC kill me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krista4 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Anyone have any recommendations for a portable charger and/or solar charger for iPhone? I need to be able to use my phone for up to six days without having an electrical source. The lighter weight, the better, though. I'll be backpacking.

Might get both and see how many charges I get from them, but I'm not going to carry more than one. For me, one of the most fun things about camping, hiking, backpacking, etc. is the planning and prepping. Trying to fit everything that you need into the smallest and lightest pack as possible is really a fun game that begins long before the actual trek. To a beginner, it may seem like just filling a backpack...but those who have done it often know that it not just what you stuff, but how and where you stuff. Weight bearing is important...quick access to high priority items is important...weather protection is important. Wow...I'm getting all excited just typing this!
