  1. New blackout curtains for WeatherPorts.  The trash bags need an upgrade

Is this meant to read Atcos? I recall the conversation started with Weatherports, but I could be wrong.  Either way, a general discussion followed that it would be nice to get all of them in camp upgraded. We have paper accordion blackout blinds available. They work well but are not meant to be a long lasting item. Was this shared with users? Spoke with Brett and upgrades have begun. Some blinds have been ordered. 

I just put a big hank of high end blackout cloth in the mailbag that was left over from a personal project.  Beats the hell out of trash bags…  Perhaps only as a holdover.

The discussion was about the weatherports, because there are windows in all of the doors, and no convenient way to hang a curtain… some time ago there were some shades that were held on with magnets, but they have all disappeared.  Basically, I think that all sleeping rooms should have some type of blackout curtains; we might need to get creative on this.


  1. A whiteboard in the THC                                    This has been added to the order sheet. 

  2. A selection of display converters for the CC:  USB C to HDMI, and MAC thing to HDMI being the priority

We’ve received two USB to HDMI cables. They are MAC compatible I believe.
