Our storage bed died suddenly and I am awaiting delivery of a new one. But that has forced me to pull a huge number of preps out of the old bed and review them which is I think a good thing. The old bed had limited access and I had genuinely forgotten some of what was in there. I have now purchased ...

Welcome. Your land sounds lovely and I am jealous but I do wonder if you have to battle with flooding?

The problem with the plug in solar kits is that they theoretically could have 240V sitting across the exposed pins of a 3 pin plug. This risk is resolved by not allowing the inverter to operate unless it can detect 240V AC at 50Hz - i.e. the pug is safely inserted into a live mains socket. There is ...

I used the Sainsbury's Diwali offers to add another 10Kg of rice & 5Kg lentils to the stash. Younger son cooks s mostly "rice 'n beans" type meals. He has identified that he needs to eat much larger portions in order to get adequate calories, protein etc with this type of diet. As our ...

Any burn bigger than the palm of the victim's hand should be assessed by a medic as this is the point at which they can be more serious than just damaged skin. We caused some bemusement to our very unprepped sister in law one year when eldest burnt his arm on a Tilley lantern while camping with them...

Ouch Lil. I hope your back settles down very soon and that you can find some way to reduce the stress levels (and thus the BP).
Do you have any tricks to settle things down that work for you? In our house an Epsom Salts bath gets used for this sort of thing and seems to help.

We are in a 1st floor council maisonette so have access to a garden but are only able to use gas & electric for heating with no real options to add much else. We have plenty of hot water bottles and a couple of the Ocoopa USB hand warmers and plan to heat the person not the room. I have also bee...

An extension lead would have to come out of the kitchen window and navigate the downstairs neighbour's back garden without being in the way so not as easy as just chucking the plug out the window but I think we could make it work. Thanks for pointing that out.

I was eyeing up a standard Ecoflow Delta3 or an Anker Solix with the idea that I could use it to cool the freezer back down on an intermittent basis and recharge it using the shed solar. The 1000wH size all seem to be a little over £400 at present. But I also came to the same conclusion as Korolev a...

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. Failing that a simple cover or even a coat of acrylic paint ...
