[pct-l] Solio charger

[raymond may]

 We used a Solio classic (white flower petal looking one) for our 2008
hike.  Charged our iPod, camera batteries, and cellphone off it.  It's a
great little gadget.  Folds up small.  Holds a decent sized charge - it is a
battery itself.  Charged real well in the desert sun and when the weather
was bad it has a wall wart to recharge it up (and use it as an ac adapter at
the same time) when we were in town.

Some people say it's hard to "mount" to your back pack, but just tie it up
with your extra rope and it does fine fine.
