Re: Power banks?

My point is that I don't care what the actual capacity is, the fact is they do a fantastic job for pennies and are certainly better than many 'lower powered' battery banks that cost two, three or four times the price. Get over the actual power, buy a couple and use them.

Re: Prepper Trailer Report

Great pictures of a great trailer but dump the butane stove, they are as useful as a chocolate tea pot in colder weather. No worries.....

Re: Keeping warm without power

When you burn portable gas stoves/heaters water is produced and can easily lead to damp rooms. You don't need home heating if you have good clothing.

Re: Plumbing - currently a blocked plughole

When it happens again you need to stuff the overflow into the sink with sponges then use the plunger. If you can remove the 'U' bend, odds on there is still gunk in there.
