Good to see another person from up here.

Welcome aboard!

A cheap and easy prep not mentioned is a corded phone. In a powerout it will still work due to low voltage in the telephone system. You can pick one up for under a fiver.

Cheers ForgeCorvus and Rik! Your probably right regarding the shelter situation, have had the Lavvu for a while and am probably overly attached, have made up a small wood burner but this really would be overkill for a short term bag.
