    If you're still looking for a power bank without auto-off, you might want to take a look at Voltaic Systems. https://voltaicsystems.com/always-on-batteries/

    Test/review of Charger NiteCore F2

    Not a good choice for solar and here's why. In a video I saw the presenter showed the F2 will not restart when connected to a solar charger after one minute of blocked sunlight. In another video the presenter said it will resume charging after the clouds had passed, but didn't say how long his...

    Welcome Back the Darkness BBQ San Jose/Bay Area 9/25

    :kewlpics: Might make someone think Weedle and SheDevil live on Gilligan's Island. It's almost as if the professor is testing out his latest rescue invention by projecting a series of SOS's using sea shells with coconut filaments atop bamboo tiki torches.

    Recommend a fire extinguisher for the car

    Costco sells a twin pack of automotive extinguishers. They are considered automotive because they have very short nozzles and therefore store easier. I think the price is currently around $25, so cheap it's not worth recharging one if you use it. Here's a pic from an old Costco ad.

    Small Portable Radio's?

    Good points StarHalo. I'd also prefer the ability to change batteries as opposed to having to crank it or wait all day for the sun to charge it. I guess at the very least you have a bottle opener with a carabiner attachment.

    I'd seek a labotomy if I had the Macarena in my head. :tinfoil:

    Corn Maze by flashlight (Gainesville, FL)

    I do a corn maze every year in California. There's never any restriction on flashlights, but I use mine sparingly as it takes away part of the adventure. I usually use it to read the clues on the post to figure out which direction to take. The best times to go are when they have a "haunted" corn...

    Sick of website commercials

    I like the idea of paying for TV without commercials. I think that was the original idea behind cable TV here in the states. Unfortunately it blossomed into both paying AND the commercials. I would also like to have the impartial newscasts. Ours make that claim but in reality the main stream...

    Looks like all they've done after all these years is add a new color.

    Sick of website commercials

    I actually like the ads here on CPF. No auto insurance girl or gecko, no erectile dysfunction cream, just flashlights and flashlight paraphernalia.
