Just think the hospitals can't cope with a spell of icy weather and the slips trips and falls... In a big bang flash situation the Concert halls and conference centre they built the nightingale hospitals in wouldn't likely have a roof or walls left ... Our local urgent treatment centre doesn't even ...

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

But can Sumo be used on wet materials? From what I can gather, CT1 and Sumo are similar in many ways (I have read a review comparing them), but that page doesn't say Sumo can bond to wet surfaces or under water, and the review didn't mention it either. I've not looked at the Dow Corning, but obviou...

It's this one ALLPOWERS Portable Generator 288Wh Power Station Emergency Power Supply with DC/AC.

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

We also have a big power bank which we use when camping to power lights and charge the laptop but although this has a 3 pin plug fitting I dont know how I can work out if this would be enough to run an electric kettle or other things.
