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

It’s a ‘bit of both’ isn’t it? When I look at the electronic side,as Yorkshire Andy described,it’s not an issue for us. A bit like ForgeCorvus; smoke alarms and the like. Torches and lanterns to replace lighting in an emergency,and particularly the wicked staircase and landing where we have charged ...

Re: Gas canisters

I have DOZENS wrapped in plastic ( originally) in fireproof boxes in a cool outbuilding ( and fire safe) . 12 years old and perfect. In fact I’ve been reminding my wife how to cook-in an emergency with the same,and the methylated spirit cooker too. ;) The fireproof boxes idea looks interesting. Cou...

Re: LORA ((Meshtastic network))
