on the topic of solar chargers… (maybe this is best for its own thread)
This creates 5V via USB and apparently only weighs 8oz (and we have to carry a pot anyway).
So I think it's about 100g MORE than my current pot.
The problem is I can't imagine cooking on my wood burning stove for an hour to recharge my phone via this method.
It's already kind of annoying to maintain the fire when I cook.
Using gas would be insane because you would just have to pack in more gas.
I think it takes me about 30 minutes to create a meal though… if I have to boil 1 liter. and if I boil another liter for a hot water bottle this could easily take an hour.
hm.
