I know, LED's don't draw a lot of power, I'm just saying 1.5 VDC isn't gonna drive a lot of light for very long. We have a set of icycle lights we bought last yr that fit across our 14 foot awning. They're the same set-up with 1 battery. They charged during the day and stayed lit all night long for a week. We found them VERY satisfactory....especially for watching the skunks romp in the site during the night!!!!;)280Views0likes0CommentsRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos

Now when I wake up and want to read in the night, DH, sleeps peacefully on without being disturbed. :) Good idea, Mizdiny!!!!!418Views0likes0CommentsRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos
I don't know if I posted this before or not....but: DH took a small 2 or 2 1/2 gallon sprayer (think garden fertilizer sprayer), painted it black. He then replaced a wand with a kitchen sink sprayer. It's kept full of water, in the sun. We always have warm water to wash grandkids' (and our) hands and/or feet after a day camping. We attach a kneehigh nylon to a nearby tree full of the slivers of leftover soap from the shower at home. And attach a dishtowel to a tree limb with a small rope. No more messing up the rig or using up all our water!305Views0likes0CommentsRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos
This hint isn't really for camping -- however, it MAY come in useful if you're camping and have to do some hand sewing! I read in a magazine that if you lick the needle EYE instead of the thread, the thread will go right in thru the eye. I didn't believe it -- but I can't see all that well (those needle eyes get smaller every year) so I thought I'd give it a try. And by golly -- it WORKS!382Views0likes0Comments
