[pct-l] Everlight solar powered headlamp\ipod charger

[Paul Cronshaw]

Last year, I switched from the Fenix LOD to the Everlight, and took it on my trips into the Los Padres National Forest, and on my last year's PCT section hike between Death Canyon and Crabtree:

Gives a very bright light; works well for night hiking. It is lightweight (1.8 oz) and fits nicely on a baseball cap. 

Initially, I would recharge it during a lunch break. One time, I put it on a sunny rock, hiked on without it, and had to retrace steps to retrieve it. Now I leave it attached to my cap during the hiking day.   Makes for a great conversation piece!  A sunny day is important, but it will partially recharge on a cloudy day. 

Sorry I have no experience using the solar ipod charger.
