Plans for 2012

Of course, it is not a gift to carry a generator with you, but a nature tourist who has a portable generator will have many advantages over a tourist who buys it on the spot every time. I, as a tourist who has driven the generator for more than 40,000 km, strongly recommend that you forget about any fears, and calmly cross any border, any state-with the generator on your shoulders. On the spot, you can buy a generator, which in 90% of cases will let you down, in addition, its weight will be at least 17 kg., and every time the question will arise – " Who will drag it today?".
In general, collecting the entomologist's belongings is a very sensitive issue. Everything is important here, every gram of burden. I recommend that you take a responsible approach to the weight of each item in your backpack. Personally, my luggage contains only ultralight portable components, there is everything for an autonomous stay in any area for as long as you want ( there is only water, gasoline, first aid kits and food). The weight of my backpack in full readiness is 20.5 kg . Carry-on baggage of no more than 8 kg ( I only transfer the first-aid kit in hand luggage). Photographic equipment is not weighed by many transport companies.
The most important thing is to behave calmly at baggage control points, and always smile when there are any controversial issues.
Below I present photos of my generator (its weight is visible on the display), along with the microcircuit ( it is in the blue box).And also a screen for night fishing, without gauze.

Something about plans for 2012 less and less. Does no one go to the south-east, from April to New Year's?

We went from New Year's Day to February.

What about again?) Many,many more times?)

Then-then, as they say in South Asia

Weight in kilograms? Pretty big. I was told that your generator "weighs nothing" at all.

Yur, how much less?!

8.6 kg for the generator is a very small weight

Together with a tank of 8.7 kg. Less at 0.5 kW (in reality, 0.4 kW) of rated power, I have not yet met. Here, only NISSAMARAN (NISSAMARAN ) IG 600, if you try to disassemble, it will weigh about 6.5 kg. But its rated power according to the passport is 0.4 kW ( in reality, no more than 0.3 kW). For two lamps of 150 W end-to-end.
In general, the choice and transportation of the generator is another topic.

From late May to early July - central China. Mostly in the highlands.

Catch pigeons please, especially all sorts of dumb-nondescript, I will not remain in debt

lepidopterolog
I won't promise 100% everything, because I promised one forum member once, but for objective reasons I couldn't fulfill it (I got into a rainy period, I didn't see the sun). But if there is an opportunity, I will try.

Thank you very much!!! Of course, it is clear that often everything does not depend on the importer, but suddenly someone will fly by

Roman, did you have any problems buying gas? The room can not be stored, you need a capacious canister, understanding of the seller, walking distance, every day there as for work... They didn't want to sell it to me in Moscow or Volgograd.

It was me

From late May to early July - central China. Mostly in the highlands.

Interesting places. And what about the removal of the material?

Before that, there were no problems. You're not carrying a suitcase.

I would order thin shells and dippers

I would have ordered tonkopryadov and dippers

Four more people want bears, but you don't get sprayed: once you're working on thin shells, just work on them

From late May to early July - central China. Mostly in the highlands.

Ground beetles, small dumb nondescript ground beetles can be?

Hello, please tell me how to find dung beetles in the Malaysian part of Borneo (Sabah, Sarawak), in early April I'm going to go there.
Thank you in advance for your answer.

I would like to express my gratitude to all those forum participants who helped me with information on Abkhazia. Many human thanks!
Unfortunately, I still have very little information about the pigeon beds in this region. Trip end of June-mid-July. What is flying there at this time? And what places do you recommend to visit? (the request applies only to pigeons, as the gathering places for beetles and other groups have already been determined)

Yur, how much less?!

"Honda" for 4 and a half kg (and even less), which were used 15 years ago. I thought it was still progress, generators should become even easier, but it turns out... regression. Why is that?

"Honda" for 4 and a half kg (and even less)

Can I get a link to or the exact model of the generator?
It would be very interesting.

As far as I know, the most compact one right now is the Honda EU 10i (kilowatt)

Four more people want bears, and you don't get sprayed: once you've taken up thin shells, then work on them

It doesn't hurt to want
Then don't spray yourself and collect only the bears, but give me all the shovels

It doesn't hurt to want
Then you don't spray and collect only the bears, and give me all the shovel

And I'm not sprayed, bears are now practically scoops

right now, they'll pack the day boy in there. and cockroaches will be added to them. and it will all be called "four-winged squad" :D

Unfortunately, I don't know the model name. It was popular with entomologists 15-20 years ago. There was even an option for 3.5 kg. Then these ultralight generators were taken out of production. I'll ask a friend who used it what the name is and if you can still buy them somewhere else.

Do you want to talk about it? Have you already bought your tickets?

I'm going to Laos with a girl this year, mostly as a tourist without a specific reference to the place-most likely on a bike. I plan to start with Vang Vieng and the mountains with overnight stays either in a tent or in houses along the way. I didn't choose a route, so I'll search the tourist forums. Either in May, or in the fall after the rainy season.

If anyone has experience of such trips, their own people or intentions-we will be happy to go with you, because there is no experience of traveling in the tropics yet. Also, please give advice on similar routes in Southeast Asia.

Hello, Yura! In Zanadvorovka, where the guys are going, lives Sergey Kunitsyn, whom I visited last summer. If you or someone from the forum is going to go there-let me know, I'll call him. He asked me to bring price lists for the main types of butterflies of the Far East and maybe something else, there in terms of supply, you know how. And it may even make sense to leave the generator with him, it turns out to be the closest to the cherished places.

Do you want to talk about it? Have you already bought your tickets?
Yes, the tickets have already been purchased.

Tell me, please, what you can pick up from beetles in mid-April in the Rostov region. OKR. Shakhty.

Although I haven't been to Rostov , but it seems that the choice is not great - dorkadions , T-shirts , kravchiki, zhuzh. Trachycarabus and others, weevils, mouth. hungarika-bronzovka . it seems all

Zanadvorovka is mostly secondary forests (that were once cut down), and the most interesting fauna there is in the primary ones that run along the Chinese border and in the adjacent areas of the Borisov plateau. There are devevya who died a natural death, lianas in the hand, eleutherococcus above growth, etc. Impressive forests. That's where to catch! Just walk 12 km by road from Zanadvorovka or Gusevsky mine. Border guards, however, go. But you can always hide in the bushes.
