Now it’s raining
Before taking the new tent away I wanted to check it was waterproof. The tent was delivered just before the thunder storms on Sunday so I missed my chance then. Since then, of course, there has been sun and just a little rain.
Now it is getting wet.
New tent
Now I want it to rain – to test it is waterproof.
The new tent is a Lost Nature one man tent from an Amazon shop – where they named it “Clostnature”, because of the logo printed on the tent!
Not as hi-tech as my MSR but as the seam sealing tape has failed completely on that – and MSR could not help – the new tent is waterproof which makes it far more useful.
Including the footprint I got change out of £90.
With care and using my Alpkit Kraku stove, a titanium mug and just enough flame I can brew an early morning coffee or boil water for a dehydrated meal in the rain.
Testing the Allpowers power station
It is running the room fan and my i7 Dell XPS – full charge to 5% about 7 hours.
However do not use the QR Code in the booklet to get the app – search the app store for ALLPOWERS2.
The car charging kit is also out of stock on Amazon…
But this unit is the right size and weight for my needs.

A new toy for camping
This is not for backpacking but rather for when we have the car with us. I am also expecting a 100w folding portable solar panel to go with it.
It is a ALLPOWERS Portable Power Station 300W / 288Wh, with plenty of options for plugging in gadgets, including 240v three pin plug. It can even be charged from the car.
It will also be useful if the government cannot sort it’s energy policy issues out and we have power cuts.
