Hi all! Bill, N1VUX, Boston USA here. I mostly do Skywarn and Field Day currently, life changes, but i wear the callsign all-over because "bill" is less than unique.

One hopes it's operated by one of the agencies under unified command and coordinated but ... if not, hopefully it's ID compliant and FAA will track it and find operator.

Our patrol leader was a short-order cook at the family's restaurant. (Don't tell OSHA about U18 kitchen work in 1970s!)
His bivouc tool-roll had his favorite chef knife.
His icebox cooler had sirloin tips looted from the restaurant walkin.

The adult leaders chose to dine with us for some reason.

(Oof. Sad to lose the camp.)

I am really annoyed with sellers calling these inverters 'generators' !
Useful devices, but without the OPTIONAL solar panels or an actual e.g. Honda gen-set, there's no actual GENERATION.

*sigh*

And I do wonder how many are proper sinewave inverters vs cheapass garbage squarewave hammerverters which may or may not be safe for your critical appliances/devices that were built assuming clean power .
