Reste maintenant à trouver l'adaptateur pour l'alcool et aussi de l'huile biosourcée correcte (diester d'huile de récup) et de quoi cuisiner avec car ça chauffe fort.

I'll post some belated stuff today; my last full day off before returning to work tomorrow.
One of my search & rescue friends took me away for an off grid day hiking adventure yesterday & we got home last night.

#Carmanah Point #LightStation was established in 1891. The first #lighthouse there was built of wood & attached to the keeper's housing. The present tower was built in 1920 of concrete & remains in operation. The area is said to be named for the upstream #Nitinaht village. It is said the name means "thus far upstream".

In Summer 2024, #Canadian Fisheries & Oceans along with the #CoastGuard announced that the light station was seismically unstable & would be destaffed before the end of the year. On Oct. 25, lightkeepers were removed from the station. The decision to destaff the station has been met with heavy criticism from various local authorities, including local governments, indigenous leadership & industry leaders.

A historic lighthouse stands atop a hill, featuring a white building with a conical lantern. A very old & rotting wooden walkway leads to the lighthouse, flanked by a grassy area & trees. Two smaller structures are visible nearby. The sky is overcast. Black and white photo.A wooden sign with white arrow pointing to the right. It displays the words "Canadian Coast Guard Lightstation Carmanah Point," indicating the location. The sign is set against a backdrop of dense trees & foliage in the forest. Black and white photo.

I've slept in hotels around the world but was surprised to find a flashlight in every room in Japan. I was shocked to find out their purpose.

2022 Hackaday Prize: ArmaLamp Provides Light, No Matter What

Instant access to electric light is a luxury that most of us take for granted, but in times of crisis, the power is often the first thing to go. So whether you're worried about a natural disaster or the outbreak of war, a reliable source of light is a must-have in your emergency kit. Creator [bobricius] calls his is ArmaLamp the "Armageddon resistant night lamp", and while we're not eager to test that particular claim, it certainly looks robust enough to get you through some tough times.

The basic idea behind the ArmaLamp is to make a light source so simple that, outside of being physically destroyed, it can't fail. That means deleting the mechanical power switch and designing the circuit so the LED light will kick on automatically in the dark. Rather than using a traditional rechargeable battery, the solar powered ArmaLamp stores its charge in a 10 farad supercapacitor that can be charged and depleted daily without having to worry about long-term degradation.

Charging the ArmaLamp with a simple solar cell is clearly out of the question as it would represent not just a single point of failure, but a particularly fragile one at that. Instead, [bobricius] is using an array of six BPW34 photodiodes that come in a hard plastic package. Combined with an efficient driver circuit that can run the LED even when the supercap is down to 0.3 V, leaving the ArmaLamp outside during the day should provide you with four hours of ultra-reliable light every night.
