The only thing worse than the noise from a generator is suffering from a heat stroke while trying to sleep at a primitive camp site.   I have heard it helps a lot to dig a hole to put the generator in to cut the noise.   But really, I would just as soon avoid all things primitive. --- On Sat, 1/22/11, David Schwarze <dschwarze@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: David Schwarze <dschwarze@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Question About Dual Battery Set-Up And Solar Panels To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Saturday, January 22, 2011, 3:51 PM 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! -David On 1/22/2011 9:12 AM, chuck wrote: 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 To: 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.
