Re: Need help sleeping? Try Magnesium. Slept solid 5 hours!

I started taking Magnesium recently from the advice from my Naturopath doctor. But with so many other things that affect me differently, it kept me up and I couldn't sleep soundly. So I have to take mine in the morning now so it doesn't disrupt my sleep. Food for thought.

New machine after 5+ years question

My original and still current machine is a Resmed S9. I do like the machine and nothing is wrong with it. But camping has always been an issue, I just don't bring it with me and then regret going camping because of my energy levels. Since searching and asking some questions on here recently on campi...

Re: My Solar and battery backup for dry camping

Yeah I saw that, Squid. I am thinking of trying to get a new machine. Seems the S9 with that converter you can only get 2 days worth on the Poweradd Pilot, Trying to get 3 days, without carrying an extra battery.

Then you have your solor panels if you needed more? Living up in Washington state, I'd worry I wouldn't be able to get enough ...

Re: Backpacking and CPAP Machines - what's the answer?

I posted this in another thread, but thought it was also pertinent here. I received the PowerAdd Pro 32000. I bought a wired 2.5mm barrel connector for the dc out at a local electronics shop and spliced it into a female cigarette lighter adapter that I already had. Total cost was $3.26. There's one...

Re: My Solar and battery backup for dry camping

OkyDoky, Saw you have use a ResMed, do you have the ResMed converter? I'm trying to research how to bring my ResMed S9 backpacking with me. But it seems these machines are difficult units to use with battery power since they require converters, from what I've read at least. Is my best option going ...
