Equipment for Field Camps & Remote Posts

What the work needs

A camp is a power and communications problem first

Everything else in a remote camp depends on two things working: people can talk, and batteries get charged. Get those wrong and the thermal monocular, the GPS and the camera traps all end up in a cupboard.

Coverage is decided by terrain, not by radio wattage. A repeater on the right ridge does more than any handheld upgrade, and the siting question is worth answering before the equipment question. Frequency allocation through WPC applies and we take you through it.

Solar charging sized for the actual daily draw — radios, headlamps, camera-trap batteries — is the difference between a camp that runs and one that sends somebody to town every week. Weather instruments earn their place here too, because fire-season decisions get made locally.
