I normally like to "sleep in" on my backpacking outings, but some days that's not a wise option because of weather, planned mileage or meeting time deadline (e.g. shuttle). That suggests that some alarm arrangement is needed. Here's my situation…
1. I have lost a lot of my high frequency hearing (thanks to military service (think gunshots)).
2. Most wristwatch alarms (actually all I have tried) are inaudible because of their high frequency or because they are not loud enough.
3. I'm ok with carrying a small, hopefully lightweight travel alarm but again, the high pitch/low volume can be an issue.
I'm looking for suggestions or solutions. What do you use that actually works?
(Roleigh, I seem to recall you have a solution but it escapes my feeble attempts to find it here in the BPL forums.)
