Solar light for showing location of camp.

[ozyclint]

Anyone ever use a small solar light that turns itself on when it gets dark to show where camp is?

I have always thought it would be good to have something you can leave on or near camp in alpine areas. Be handy when coming back to camp in the dark.

We did this a few years ago during our archery hunt. Hung a solar lantern in a tree just above our tents.

Harbor freight has some good ones that fit the bill. I use the flat screen type with separate collector for pack rat control under my jeep. Used them in camp also, come on at dusk off at dawn. I just made up some small aluminum stands works like a charm.

Which light did you use? I'm interested to see your setup.

why not get a couple little $1 versions from Walmart - bring 3 in and light your way in.

I put a traffic cone with reflective tape on top of the truck. Headlamp catches that pretty easily.

Before I got always on power from my solar setup I got two of these for our camp on the coast, one red and one green and put them up on poles to stick up over our cabin. That was a few years ago and they're still up there blinking away. Cheap and easy, $15 and mounts to the top of a PVC pole so you could stake them in the ground or put up high if you wanted. These are bright enough I can start seeing the blinkers from the boat about 3 miles out. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FQ87G2J/

edit: Saw this after I replied. The ones I linked are really super light, but they're more bulky obviously. They're so light I didn't think they'd last a month out in our environment.
