Rough-ing It

We went camping Monday-Tuesday, and since we were going to be in the great outdoors, we decided to disconnect from our normal way of life, and only take the minimum with us. I did prepare a few electronics that would come in handy while we'd be far away from civilization. So before we left, I charged

- 8 D batteries for the lantern
- 2 AA batteries for Ly's camera
- 2 AA spares for Ly's camera
- 2 AA batteries for my flashlight
- 2 walkie talkies
- 1 BP-511A battery for my camera
- 6 AA batteries for my external flash
- Ly's cell phone
- My cell phone

We also bought 2 block batteries for the weather radio at Wal-Mart.

P.S. Just before anyone complains, I really did cut down. For instance, I didn't take the razor, the FM transmitter, the Pocket PC, the laptop computer, the portable hard drive, the CD player, or the MP3 player this time.
