Hey guys,
I'm headed out to South Africa for a fishing trip with my dad, uncle and cousin.
We'll be heading from Johannesburg to Welkom, and then up through Botswana to the Caprivi-region of Namibia to a fishing lodge.
The drive from Welkom to Caprivi will take two days. The Lodge is said to have mains-power but i'm not certain it'll be reliable.
We'll be at the lodge for about nine days before heading back.
I'm planning on taking all 10 of my 18650's, my Xtar charger, my multimeter and about 15 or so CR123As just in case.
As for the lights themselves, i'm definitely taking my EDC (SF C2 w/NB HCRI XP-G) and my E2E with e-series dropin.
I'm intending to also take the XM-L light because it's both super-bright on high as well as having an awesome runtime on low.
I'm also planning on taking my only Incan light, a Solarforce L2 with a 3.7V Lamp-assembly. it runs really nicely for about an hour or so off a single 18650.
My Romisen RC-F4 will stay where it always stays, as my emergency-light which lives in my backpack.
I'll also be taking my latest torch, a Tesco £10 2xAA Cree torch, it's got pretty reasonable output, seems acceptably durable and runs on those oh-so-common Alkalines. I also won't mind if it gets lost/broken/eaten/stolen.
Other than torches, i'm taking my DSLR, and i'm planning on getting the battery-grip for it, which i'll fill with 6xAA Eneloops, so i'll also take an AA-charger for those. with the camera I'm obviously taking my laptop for picture storage, and i'll also take my knife (CRKT M16-13SF, silly-sharp)
What do you guys think? anything i've missed out? anything i should try to get? anything i should leave behind?
