True, but personally I believe that generators (and other noisemakers like radios) are fundamentally incompatible with camping. So for me (and others, I suspect) a generator is not an option. Warm beer is also not an option!

Well,I guess if you got really desperate you could buy a small portable generator.I think you can have all the electrical you can use for less that the price of batteries and the inverter and they won't take up more space than thefour batteries.You just need to get a long extension cord and consider the low engine sound as Denis white noise.oleblue ----- Original Message ----- *From:* kelly dosch <mailto:kellydosch@xxxxxxxxx> *To:* tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Saturday, January 22, 2011 5:33 AM *Subject:* [tcb] Re: Question About Dual Battery Set-Up And Solar Panels Nope. Sorry. It's 97* in the shade. All your ice has melted by day two. The sandwiches you double-bagged in Ziplock Freezer bags still got soaking wet somehow. The nearest store is 6 miles away, but it's Sunday. Are they open? You don't know. Besides, you've already had four beers so you're not going anywhere anyway. So you finish out the night on warm beer and soggy sandwiches that are surprisingly more disgusting than you expected. Not that I've been there or anything. --- On *Sat, 1/22/11, whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx /<whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx>/* wrote: From: whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx <whocanduncan1@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Question About Dual Battery Set-Up And Solar Panels To: "TCB" <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Saturday, January 22, 2011, 6:17 AM One cooler = $30 Two bags of ice = $3 Cold beer = Priceless ------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
