Having spend several months living in a caravan with no electricity or water, none of this bothers me as I know I can do it, especially as I now live in a cottage with private water supply that doesn't rely on electricity. I have a small calor gas cooker ( 2rings, tiny grill, small oven} and have got spare lpg for same. Also a wood stove which is unfortunately set in an old fireplace gap so I can't get a big soup pan on it but I can cook on the top with smaller pans and a kettle just fits. Plenty torches, both rechargable and loads of batteries, candles etc. I have camping stoves and fuel which I wouldn't use but intend to keep for family who aren't in my position.Yorkshire Andy wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 9:50 pm Like my dad was saying "your great grandmother had no electricity to the house just a gas fridge and a gas mantle lamp in the lounge and that was it!

I know I've had reason to be glad of my preps in the past and I think this winter will see me very glad that I'm a prepper
