Hi David

Would it perhaps be a combination of a small, low noise petrol generator, a 
quick charger and a 12 v battery. - Perhaps if you stated how much energi 
you need to run your (life supporting ??) devises it would be easier for the 
people on the list to figure out the right gear.

Hi Rueben, the machine for respiration while sleeping is 110 volts at 1.7 
amps for eight hours.  The machine for squeezing liquids is 110 volts at 1.5 
amps 
for four hours.   

<<With the charger/battery you can avoid using the generator all the time and 
you will have power for the night to.  I gues with the kind of support you 
need you will not be going on your own alone ???

No, these would be solo trips.

<<
so will there be someone to help you carry the gear ??>>

No, I would have to do it.

<< and will you be able to get help - medical helicopter ??? if the gear 
brakes down
anyway good luck - you have a great attitude towards not letting your 
condition getting in the way of your dreams

Doing without the equipment wouldn't kill me off straigthaway, Ruben.  
Controlling the sleep apnea helps prevent heart problems.  Squeezing out the 
fluids 
relieves internal fluid pressure which causes the skin to break down and might 
in time I suppose lead to gangrene.  I would take a radio beacon to call for 
aid if I got into really serious trouble.  I suppose I should check my medical 
insurance to see if a helicopter would be covered.  No heroics for me, thank 
you.
