I don't know what the Blacks Jacket looks like but I have a Ventile from Redkettle and it's great. I am a huge fan.

Welcome! Hampshire local here too.

Halligan bar. Also known as the hooligan bar/tool. Great fun!.

Well, it does. I guess the actual question is how seriously are you taking your emergency planning?

I have a few bits of merino from them. Seems well made and comfortable. FYI they never stopped shipping clothing to the UK

Is that the ESN that has cost over £2 Billion and is still not operational or have a operational start date? Progress with delivering ESN

I think you will find they don't have an effective power back up to anything other than the bare minimum of their masts, Im also going to expect they will be in cities especially London Emergency responders use a separate network so don't have any ability to prioritise their calls over any of...

Thanks, that is what I thought, Only problem that I was aware of in that scenario is that if the power loss encompasses one of the street-side green telecoms boxes or the local exchange neither of which have a back up or resilient power supply you would end up with a powered line to and from...

Probably an obvious answer but why would you need to power up your router?

it was fairly simple, I think it was designed to not be prescriptive, just let people develop their own resilience to what was most relevant to them. Household Emergency Plan

That is correct, It depends on the risk assessments, I know that my local LRF has plans in place to react to a release of radioactive material but that is a specific risk from a specific source. Im also guessing that a nuclear strike from a foreign power would not be a limited strike and would...

Thanks. My current set up(s) are 58 pattern bottles and crusader mug US bottle and mug I kind of like the set up. Plenty of pots with bail arms if I need to hang stufff

looking for options.... just purchased an stainless Nalgene bottle and I am looking for ideas for a nesting mug to fit under it, not bothered too much about weight, but I don't like rattles so a good snug fit would be good. Thanks for any ideas. Louis

Looks like you are not the only one to be impressed by it!

@British Red is your woodburner the sole heat source within the cottage? just curious as I am looking to find a replacement for old school night storage heaters. (sorry @TeeDee for the drift) Louis

I have a Charnwood Island 2 picked it up as an ex demonstrator, lovely and controllable the double doors mean you can have some decent logs in there. Clearview are also well made but seem to be a bit more fiddly to use, I am currently trying to work wether to fit a solid fuel aga or a Esse with...
