Re: Importing medical kits and tourniquets?

I don’t know about medical kit,I’m not a doctor,but right now with my illness I know about tourniquets! :lol: :lol: The ones used on me are just rubber straps with a knot into a hole,and trust me they work. Cheap as chips. You ever had a tourniquet on your arm? Trust me,you don’t need any posh stuff...

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question

I’m with Yorkshire Andy on this. Pallets work. My main workshop was built with 3 concrete panel walls and the front overlapped PALLETS :D. As noted by YA as a good idea, mine were soaked in creosote and used car oil ,drained and fixed. 34 years ago! I also have a lot of picket fence made and treated...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

An emergency I have always stocked is water. 25 litre containers. My illness now won’t allow me to sling them on my shoulders now :lol: so my wife certainly cannot. Therefore we are storing 2 litre bottles in the pantry,and plenty. Easier bottle to exchange and rotate,and fill when empty to. JM you...

Re: Solar panel bargain...

I've been doing a bit of reading because of this thread, about adding in a solar panel bought later - it sounds like the new panel has to be the same wattage as the existing panel. It *can* be different, but that needs extra care etc etc taken, and it seems much simpler to just get a panel at the s...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

I am sitting watching a show about Russian rural workers,and they live primitively compared to our *technology* but they live rather well! All day the room I have sat in has had open fresh air,is ...

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. ;)
