• And thanks Earthloop for the battery pack for the garmin. Gonna make me one of those!

    Yes, that was a problem, garmins don't really last 15 hours. One battery pack allowed us to keep 3 garmins alive, more would have been better.

    I ordered one of these to carry as an emergency backup charger, but it didn't arrive in time :(

    DC-DC Converter Step Up Boost Module 0.9V to 5V USB: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

    Solder two wires to that, and it becomes a very lightweight thing that would let me recharge USB devices from the battery pack out of one of my lights.

    I'll report back on how well it works.
