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

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.

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

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.
