Looks like the Norwegians are taking the threat seriously and asking citizens to prepare a week's worth of supplies.

Re: Blackhawk Under the Radar iPad & Passport Holder
Put your devices in aeroplane mode in these cases, else they'll try to boost the WiFi, Bluetooth and phone signal so as to reach a connection, this will drain the battery.

Re: Mains Inverter.
Numbers will be slightly better south of London and slightly to significantly worse as you go north. One of my thoughts about my future solar set up is that invariably the s*** will hit the proverbial in the middle of winter.... 80w laptop just for a SDR seems quite a lot, have you looked at alterna...

Re: Mains Inverter.
Just some thoughts which might help, I'm not criticising and I'd love to do something similar one day. Your setup might be a little light for what you want to achieve. 150Ah batteries at, I assume, 13.5V = 2025Wh Just for some ballpark numbers, I've used an online calculator (solar Wizard.org.uk) to...

Re: Gas canisters
There are stoves that sit on top of those tall thin canisters?! Doesn't sound very stable! Mine sits on a backpacking type, but I have a stabaliser. Remote are better really. They fit these Screenshot_20240706-174827.png Seen a few in the past which are not as robust one reviewer has a cheap china ...

Re: Off grid refrigerator
Thanks for confirming my approximate calculations, the River 2 would likely run the fridge for c.12 hours which is pretty good.
£166 is a cracking price, nice!
Seems to be around £200 now, if it was £166 I'd likely have just bought it already

Re: Off grid refrigerator
Thanks for the write-up Andy, wanted one of these for a while but prices only recently come down to "reasonable" amounts, however, seems like most are too short to take a full bottle of wine, or other tall beverage, upright, which is a shame. I only have a regular hatchback so no space for...

Re: Geiger Counters & Dosimeters
I've a couple of Geiger counters mostly for scientific interest rather than prepping. Some thoughts: 1) Generally, you get what you pay for. 2) Decide what you want to measure- alpha needs a mica window tube. Most of the SBM-20 tubes do gamma and some "stronger" beta. 3) The idea of detect...

Re: Temu quality lighting and blades
On topic of Chinese tools, I received a Daicamping DL30 multi-tool from AliExpress. £35 inc delivery, seems well made, there are a few "unfinished" edges on the handle which are slightly sharp and one of the hinges of the pliers is a bit rough sounding when deploying/folding pliers. Not ye...
