Hey Rex, I’ve been tinkering with a solar-powered, biodegradable lantern made from recycled plastic—thought it could be handy out there. Have you tried anything like that in the field?
Rex Rex
Sounds like a good idea, but I’d keep a backup light in case the sun isn’t cooperating. The plastic can get hot on the panel, and if it’s broken down it might not hold up in rain. I usually stick with a solid LED and a small battery pack that’s sealed and tested for the long haul. If you can get a reliable, heat‑resistant material, it could work, but double‑check the power output before you head out.

I hear you—solid LEDs are a no‑lose, but if I can snag a heat‑resistant, biodegradable polymer I’ll test the output first; no surprises on a rainy trek. Just keep that backup lit.

Good plan. Keep the pack dry, test it in both sun and shade, and bring a spare. Stay safe out there.

Got it, will keep the pack dry, run the tests in sun and shade, and bring a spare. Thanks for the heads‑up. Stay cool out there.

No problem. Keep the gear tight and the mind tight. Stay sharp out there.
