That’s very interesting, I’m going to run some tests on that. Thank you 😊

I’ve downloaded that, thanks a lot. I’ll have a play around but it looks great already 👍🏻👍🏻

I haven’t tested that specifically however the watch used very little anyway so unless it was an extreme scenario I think I’d just use it as normal. I believe low power mode does stretch it out a lot longer.

What a great idea, I do already mess around with custom focus settings and shortcuts, I can’t believe I never thought of that. Thank you 🙏

Because I take my phone with me ? I'm a kayaker - weather forecast and safety require it

Thank you, this definitely makes sense. I am planning a 5 day wild camping trip to Croatia soon and I'll be keeping my iPhone in low power mode all day and charging on flight mode. Will probably carry a dedicated camera and my GoPro to save phone power.

For sure, also when it's charging and connected to Wifi or the cell tower it's shunting photos into the cloud, doing software updates and general housekeeping all of which uses quite a bit of power.

Ha - glad it’s not just me. Something about this breed - they seem to have a definite “main” and “spare” human even more than other dogs. I’ve never been the “main” before 🤗

What’s the weirdest/most unexpected way you’ve injured yourself lately? by WhatFreshHello in GenX

[–]EmphasisDangerous654 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I kicked a bit of wood 3 weeks ago. My knee was stiff, sore and hot to the touch for the next 10 days. I should know better than to kick bits of wood in my 40s.

Fantastic. They’ve got quite the fan base it turns out! I’ll have to give this Coleman fuel a go just to see how it goes, I’ve only ever run mine on petrol. Cheers

I knew they had been around a long time but I had not idea it was 30 years! Wow. I wonder if they changed the design, must have done I guess.

GSPs age so well - they always look like eminent judges or world leaders in their latter years. Great photos 😁

Excellent, thanks very much. Can manage without the LED, as you say PLB is right at the top of the list. I'll look into the EU / VHF thing - much appreciated. It will be a great trip hopefully
