As i am pretty new to prepping, I am going to have to develop a check/maintenance schedule for things so the rechargables will have to be bui...

Re: Li-ion Batteries - Charge Retention?

Not particularly scientific but I've got some in torches that have sat since last winter and they're still 'burning brightly'. If you're leaving them in the car you could have some standard AA's as well maybe.

Re: Cheap but good EDC knifes.

A good read, cheers. I like to carry a SAK Spartan, the extra 'bits and bobs' have come in handy over the years, I've used them all at different times, even the reamer thingy .
