Why not put in one of those little battery operated mobile phone chargers instead of a flask?
No, they just get in their car and off they go without ANYTHING! A mobile battery charger is a good idea - you mean like a powermonkey type thing? What's a cheap good one?

Thanks.

Oh, and I decided to add a couple of ponchos and stuff the whole lot into a cheap rucksack!

I think a powermonkey would be too expensive! I was thinking of this - £2.99 from maplins:

M,

I bought a box of 40 handwarmers for £24 from amazon.

I have lots of lightsticks. Too many! Good till Dec 21st 2012 (ahem). High intensity yellow. Last several hours. Box of 10 for £3 plus about £1.60 postage.

Hobo

That is exactly what i had gone of and found :) glad i did not make a mistake

BHS have multi-tools, 2 for £10.00. Probably not a make a 'true' prepper would want but handy to put in any prepping gifts or hampers this christmas.
Also had some other gadget type gifts that might come in handy, especially for those of us on tight bugdets at the moment. Better to have something than nothing at all!

Hi Hobo, just wondering how your Christmas hampers were received? No-one I gave that book to (the global warming survival handbook) has mentioned it at all so I suspect they think my marbles are lost .... :(
