Two weeks to go, and I thought I'd remind everyone of the power issues a couple of years back due to damp conditions and some sloppy electrical work in the field.

Well, its certainly been a wet winter and the dew levels have been very high. If you can run off a car battery plugged into a charger for your critical equipment - scopes and cameras for eg, you will probably save yourself from a lot of heartache as I expect that there will be some brownouts due to hairdriers and short-circuits!!!!

If you want to regulate your power from the battery, this thing works well: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=MP3478

Oh and don't forget that this is your last shopping weekend
