Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
It’s a ‘bit of both’ isn’t it? When I look at the electronic side,as Yorkshire Andy described,it’s not an issue for us. A bit like ForgeCorvus; smoke alarms and the like. Torches and lanterns to replace lighting in an emergency,and particularly the wicked staircase and landing where we have charged ...

Re: Gas canisters
I have DOZENS wrapped in plastic ( originally) in fireproof boxes in a cool outbuilding ( and fire safe) . 12 years old and perfect. In fact I’ve been reminding my wife how to cook-in an emergency with the same,and the methylated spirit cooker too. ;) The fireproof boxes idea looks interesting. Cou...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
In between my daily rests ,today I have made videos about topics relevant here for my wife. I say video in the loosest way :lol: :lol:. Whilst my wife knows how things work,they are not used often,so I’ve made ‘reminders’. The thing is,it makes me happy to know I’ve done that. So today no1 was our p...

Re: National grid (electric) look to suspend night time call outs to domestic power cuts
The powercut situation is interesting,for sure. We have two villages nearby where flooding at the end of January flooded ( gas) piping! Don’t want to take over here with gas ,but its power isn’t it? :D 1500 homes were basically living with wrecked gas,some their boilers ! A couple of dozen are suing...

Re: LORA ((Meshtastic network))
What a good idea! That would be ideal as our eldest and family are over the valley in the next village. In a power cut/ internet cobblers that could do the biz!

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
~ ~Jansman & Jan xx~~ But we're all in the same boat ultimately, just a lot of us don't know it yet. I even appreciate this tiny wee hamster hutch now as it'll be so easy to run when one of us is left. That's so true. We don't know when, and we've got space to *hope* it will be far in the futur...
