[pct-l] Old Forest Service Maps

[isabella at bendnet.com]

I have the 5 old Forest Service PCT maps for Wa and OR and they're in great
shape.  Wondering if anyone collects them or if they are a rare commodity.

On the specs webpage at
http://www.suntactics.com/product/usb-solar-charger-5/ it shows the weight
is 8.4 oz. The unit has a standard USB port and I could attach either the
iPhone 5 to the port, or the battery to the port to charge one or the other.
The s5 has 4 holes on the corners and I used mini S-biners to attach it to
the mesh on the top of my backpack.

The battery was external, and was purchased separately from Amazon. As I
said it was an Anker 3000 mAh lipstick battery. See

As Dave said, the Suntactics s5 would and could charge my iPhone directly,
but the iPhone needed to be turned on to do that, so when you went into
shade, for example in the forests of Oregon, I found that the ratio of shade
vs sun was insufficient to fully charge the phone very much. As a result I
found using an intermediate battery to be the best solution.
