travel tips & cell battery (non bike)

[mark ward]

I forgot to mention that also. With a new phone (2weeks) I needed one, and today at Home depot, I got a ... $12.88 "Rayovac" (brand) "porta power" (their words,) Emergency chargeryou charge it in a USB outlet then you can use to charge your cell (&smartphone) or Apple device's. I will test later to see if the USB will work backwards and charge other items using the USB.

Seal it in a envelope and leave it with someone you would call in an emergency (like lost wallet in a river crossing). Make another copy (reduced size), laminate it, put it somewhere on the bike or attached to gear that always leaves the bike with you (small tank bag that becomes a fanny pack). I suppose you could scan it and email it to yourself as was suggested with the contact list, but at min you'd want to encript the file with a damn good encription program...same if you put it all on a USB and attach it to your keys, etc. Lastly, if you can replace the battery in your cell phone, buy an extra, charge it, put it in a small plastic zip bag and keep it handy in case the cell dies just when you need it most.
