Ordered a Lifesaver Jerrycan just over a week ago. Had to order it from Germany as everywhere seems to be out of stock in the UK apart from one place which I have read some not so great reviews about. It is currently "being assessed by customs" so could be quite a bit longer yet and I sti...

I know that lots of us have these expensive pieces of kit. Does anyone secure them against theft and if so how? I could probably use a decent bike lock and lock them to the wall on a bracket but unsure if someone would just saw through the powerbank handle. Ideas please.

I bought a new 'heavy' torch. :mrgreen: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0002JT3FW/?smid=AE4APRUP816DT&tag=phmp-21&linkCode=asn&creative=6742&camp=1638&creativeASIN=B0002JT3FW&ascsubtag=2026-09-29_529ee29dd5ec1694655068e15e446f9a11649af09e79b61de00e5e54f8e05c1e&th=1 Plus a l...

Thanks everyone, my foot is fine just a straight row of very red dots where the liquid went through my boot eyelets. As someone else mentioned when I told colleagues what had happened they could not believe that I carry burns dressings in my home first aid kit.

Was grateful for my first aid kit tonight. Cooked a nice bit of (yellow sticker) beef for tea and as I pulled the roasting tray out of the oven it slipped and the liquid poured over my foot. Had my Magnum boots on and not barefoot thank goodness but the liquid seeped through the tongue and my sock, ...

Collected the food grade IBC and cleaned it out. Ordered the drainpipe diverter and decided to get the rainwater from the slate roof on the garage rather than the felt roof on the shed so no stone chips and apparently avoids any bitumen contamination. Bought the breeze blocks to stand it on which wi...

Ecoflow Delta 3 Max arrived today. I have been stocking up on batteries and candles, dried veggies. Also lighters (get yer lighters 10 for a pound) actually 50 for £8.60 which are stored in various places in metal tins and just bought another 6 gas canisters for the rocket stove in addition to the o...

Failing that a simple cover or even a coat of acrylic paint might solve the problem. And would allow you to add some thermal barrier. A black IBC would have made a good water heater this summer. (As did my black compost bin which cooked the contents.) I have just found IBC covers are a thing. Added...

Thanks Andy, I did not realise that they came with different kinds of bases. I will certainly look into the black ones, although I am fairly certain that our local supplier did not stock those. Might be worth paying a bit more to get one.
