I didn't even know that they make wild plant books that are edible. I could see how this could come in handy in a SHTF scenario.Quote:

Perhaps a link? Father's Day is coming up! Last year we got him a headlamp, but alas it wasn't solar batteries. (More than 1 in the house is good too). TIA.Quote:

A good portion, if not all of stored batteries should be rechargable, and make sure you have a solar battery charger or two as well.

Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries are the leading edge now. I stockpiled mostly AA and some AAA for my headlamps and portable radios. Best bang for the buck. Best to research the solar battery chargers and select one that charges both AA and AAA size batteries. Maybe let him decide on the best solar charger for his needs.
