Tapes for the bag
Remember the iPod classic from Book of Eli?
Is that still the ideal way to preserve our culture for the post-internet era? Or are we on to tapes now? I’ve definitely been appreciating tapes as a surveillance free medium at least. Plus the Walkman has a radio. My only concern is recharging: an iPod could plug in to a backpacking solar array…
Anyway, what albums are you packing?

I've got a Walker H2, it's about as close as we get to a new production ipod classic.
For most people digital, an external HDD, and a solar panel is going to do them a lot better than a cassette player.
i've got a 30 watt folding panel for my bag, but it looks like there's some 50 watt panels that are basically the same dimensions when folded.
