Re: Water

I've several filters, my favorite for family / group is the Lifesaver Jerrycan and a Berkefeld at home for water from the stream out back.

Re: Emergency radio receivers

Another vote for Tecsun who make some quality gear for not a lot of coin. AM/FM and Shortwave. Lot of English speaking stations broadcast on shortwave. The Eton rigs are also good but cost a bit more.

Look on Ebay for a tatty old looking Primus stove, No5 is very common. They are so simple to get up and running. I'll offer advice if needed.

Re: Parrafin pressure stove

The frontier stove is smaller, the flue is shorter and the build quality is not as good; I sold mine and got the Wildo.

Re: Parrafin pressure stove

The shinabro 340 a good solid stove. I've more paraffin stoves than I'll admit to owning (well, got to have a hobby) and use one or two on my camping trips. Very easy to maintain and even with the high price of paraffin these days, still cheap to run. Spares : http://www.base-camp.co.uk Mike there i...
