Generator Pallet

Cut a regular shipping pallet in half and painted for a generator platform.

Also 3D printed some connecting pieces for 1/2” PVC conduit. Will eventually add a piece of tarp or corrugated plastic to create a rain shelter.

Kerosene lanterns as an alternative lighting source

Thinking about non-electric outdoor lighting options for field day? I’m super impressed with this $25 kerosene hurricane lantern from Dietz (click here Amazon link). It has a 36oz tank and they claim it will burn for 45 hours. Not as bright as a propane lantern but also not as annoying – you can easily sit next to this and relax like an old prospector. Depending on the cost of kerosene in your area, you’re looking at 4 to 7 cents an hour to power this. Not too shabby – fill it up at home and it will last all weekend.
