Re: Pound shop led head torches.
Sounds pretty good. I just bought a petzl one for £10! I'm pretty happy with it, but hopefully it will be worth 10x the price, lol. At least it came with batteries supplied.

No expert, but I do recall someone saying on another thread that a microwave is essentially a Faraday cage. Perhaps an old microwave in the garage etc would be handy makeshift store for hard drives etc until ppl have something more permanent rigged up. If the point about earthing is correct, well, i...

Re: Sanitation
It seems a shame to have toilets and not use them (assuming a bug-in scenario). What about this (assuming 2+ toilets in house): disconnect toilets from main waste flow pipe and seal that pipe. Connect one toilet to a composting box in garden like the setup BaseOne explained, and connect its cistern ...

Re: Toilet paper substitute
It's funny... used cloth nappies with my kids, including at times cloth wipes, but never fancied using them on myself!! :lol: TP is cheap and easy to get for now, but still, if stocks ran out I'd have no trouble managing without, as humans have done for 1000s of years!
