Having been a backpacker for over 40 years, I was impressed with your assessments and advice. I'm now preparing for an AT hike thru and beginning to explore Sat based communication gear which will likely encourage me to explore solar chargers as well. The gear is ever evolving. I'm now looking at converting some of my down bags into down blankets to reduce their weight and increase their warmth by moving some of the bottom down up to the top of the blanket.
