Tucking some coal away in anticipation of future power cuts! Multi fuel stove will provide cooking and hot water as well as heat when the need arises. N/I has more power outages, Sellafield has been shut down today too! I plan to stockpile plenty over the coming mo tha ahead of next year.

Purchased enough proper oatmeal (not porridge oats) for making oatcakes to last me a fair few days and started getting better at the art of oatcake making.

Revised my BOB along the lines of some cold weather kit, as i'm sure if i get too hot i can take stuff off but if it gets too cold i can't put on what i don't have !

After some research and i quote " Sometimes, any sort of layering system simply isn’t warm enough. After all, there is a limit to the number of layers that it is possible to wear before normal movement becomes severely constricted. So in deep cold conditions, or in chilly weather where you are likely to remain static for any length of time, a heavily insulated garment – known as a duvet jacket – is useful. Duvet jackets are normally too warm to be worn whilst active, except in situations such as high-altitude mountaineering. More usually, they are worn during rest breaks. Lighterweight, pullover-style versions are also available. These are perfect for wearing in less extreme conditions, and are a warmer and lighter alternative to a spare mid-layer."

After some time on evilbay i opted for a Norwegian army top and a Snugpak softie.

I've had the same Norwegian army top for quite a few years does an incredible job in the cold weather like i never would have believed.
