It might seem surprising to those of us in first world environments but it's likely of nomadder to those folks.

And those folks in the photo have one PC between the lot of them. And nowhere to plug it in. Still, they've probably all got solar-charged smartphones, so no worries there.
For personal communications I still rely on my trusty semaphore lamp kit which is powered by a little paraffin-driven generator. A very useful piece of kit, although admittedly charging my Tesla takes a bit of time.

Of course these yurts in the foreground are all the rage for the 'off-grid' set today. They even have solar=powered fridge's for their frozen gelato!

Good for you Graeme and to be honest I'm not surprised at your skill set. You can take the boy out of Scouts but you can't take the Scout out of the *man.
