Lugging a C14 and G11 on top of Mt Kinabalu alone? No problem. :)

Nice! Now when I grow old and grey I can still go climbing the mountains and hills in Malaysia without worry of my Gout, Rheumatism, etc etc!! Soon the Elderly will once again Walk the Face of the Earth...Muahahahaha!

LOL Orly! Yah....we would probably find them using this at the Casinos!
Or sitting outside charging them up before going in!!
Heck...throw in a pacemaker, stoma bag attachment, oxygen kit, and you can still enjoy life rather than sitting bedridden!
On a serious note this has possibilities for the elderly.
