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...

Each Police force area has a Local Resilience Forum (Local Resilience Partnerships in Scotland) as part of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 many/most of them will have a website or some web based information and if I remember correctly the government sent out information to every household in...

I have had a few pairs of Rogue boots over the years, I still have my "original" pair having resoled them with a BF Goodrich tyre. the later ones just seemed to be a bit different. Toe boxes not quite right, I preferred the older R Sole tread pattern to the newer version. they are a wide...

Well in the past 30 years it’s not been an issue, I have just put the mug beer the fire to get the same effect rather than needing to suspend it above it. Thanks. That helps loads Brilliant. Well done …

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...

I tend to use a variety of liquid fuel stoves. Coleman 424, featherlight or a MSR Dragonfly. All seem fairly to use and get going.

Is it a thick coating or just a thin covering? WD-40 is good for getting sticky stuff off hard surfaces.

Cheers, I think I had already decided to go back to Ortleib, they are able to take a bit of rough and tumble without failing.

Long time user of Ortleib dry bags, but I have been trying the Exped ones. I don’t find they are as long lasting and the first time you find that they leak is when you really need them to work. Any recommendations on good drybags before I just go back to my old Ortleib ones? Cheers Louis

Just use what ever ruck you have, just don’t fill it full. Most have compression straps or a way to reduce the volume. At least that way you can work out what you need to take/carry with you.

I have one or the Rome pie irons, makes an epic toastie! Stockist I have no experience of that seller but they do seem to have the range. Also known as Jaffle irons. Another option

My kitchen box is a wolf box, and I have a separate brew box in a Lock & Lock box
