#44How do they power their irons?
I found this: "We took our own iron. It's not battery powered so it doesn't iron that well, but the quality of the ironing is not the point - it's where you do it." [1] So it sounds like they just run a not-plugged-in regular iron over some fabric and call it ironing? [1] https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/apr/25/everest.nepal

Edit: You could just cut out the generator bit and have a nuclear iron.
