I've only done a fly in once--about 30 years ago. Now I use a cpap machine and figured i just couldn't do a fly in any more. These with solar--do they generate enough to power up a cpap machine for the night and do the cabins have outlets or do you need to come up with something of your own?

We run our generator all night when people request it for the same purpose as you would need it,our cabins all have electricity run to them with outlets.We also have wireless internet,I know some eole dont like the internet in the bush but we need it to run the whole operation.

Yea Eddie, I talked with Vic Davis about the CPAP machines. He said that it's starting to be a regular occurance to fly in a small generator to accommodate all the snorers.

I'm guessing that it's not only his clientele, eh?

Maybe at all the high end camps, you install CPAP machines on every bunk. Maybe I can get some sleep.

True story: One of my 2 buddies found out that he needed a CPAP machine on one of our trips to Canada. My 2 buddies both snore (of course, I don't ) and they sleep in one bedroom. Anyway, one night, the "other" buddy couldn't sleep and he was "listening" to the other one breathe. The other one stopped breathing and the awake one thought the other one had died. Scared the heck out of all 3 of us. Sooo - when the "dead" buddy got back to the states, he went in and got checked - sure enough -- sleep apnea. CPAP now goes with us every trip.

It sounds like there may be some fly-ins again in your future!

Hilliehle, is the "Hilton" you are referring to at Lake St. Joe's, Winoga Lodge Camp, sounds like the exact set up they have. Have taken my CPAP machine on every trip for the last 10 years. Never leave home without it! Going to a place this fall that I might have to bring a small generator along.
