Re: Strobe or beacon in your bug out/ghb?

I have one of the below hooked on to some rear molle straps for walking at night it has 5 modes, bright and the batteries last for about 12 hours on turned on, its only a quid. it does a solid job for the purpose intended. the plastic is a bit weak so I have a spare. http://www.poundland.co.uk/my-cy...

Re: Solar Chargers

Personally I use one of these

does the job great and after a lot of research it came out better reviewed than Anker and Goal Zero.

Hope it helps,

I will have a look on youtube also now. thank you korolev I think you might h...

Re: Compass location distance thing

What I would say is that if you do get one and plan to go for a hike then test yours thoroughly before you go out, also I would suggest a back up method just in case there are any issues. for the £30 inc delivery its worth it.
