Charging: not sure about that one either. Either there is a power source or there isn't?
- VLM 13y agoWRT water/dust talk to some hikers. I have a nice water proof crush proof case for my phone; it cost quite a sum of money. Where's the case? My phone is ringing should I bother digging it out and removing the case? Its starting to rain, do I risk using the phone or packing it up? Looks like the BRCK could just be tossed in my pack with about as much care as I give a pair of socks. I will say one funny observation after reading HN for years; I sometimes think I'm the only person here who's ever gone camping or stepped off the asphalt. No other hacker stereotype comes as close to universal as this. All that "never kissed a girl" "don't like sports" has some ring of truth however minimal, but none of it is as almost universally true as "never slept on the ground in a forest". I may very well be the only person here to ever have walked on a hiking trail.
- aaren 13y agoI've slept on the ground in the forest / mountains multiple times - often without shelter and often out of choice :) So there's one data point for you. I don't post that much on HN though.. That said, I do like the look of this and will probably try and get hold of one.
