Re: Straw Poll. How much food do you have in reserve? How well do you stock rotate?
Probably got about two months worth of food of decreasing appeal.
We did have more but we had a lot of building work done and used a lot up to free-up storage space; since the works we have limited storage (more living space) but I've not got round to replenishing stocks.

Re: Looking for a multitool/kn*fe
I've got several Leathermans ("Leathermen" ?), Gerbers and SOGs. I would say that the Leatherman is the best, not least due to it's no-quibble warranty (I just had a Micra replaced, turnaround was about 5 days). For BoB carry, a MT is essential but I never use them around the house/garden,...

Re: Wavian Jerry Cans for storing unleaded petrol
Apologies if you already know but petrol "goes off" after a while (can be as short as a couple of months). I found this out many years ago when my petrol mower wouldn't start after being stored all winter.

It's still about.
Mrs K and I were saying last week "you don't hear much about Covid these days, do you?" Well, guess what ? She picked it up at work and now I've got it. We were due to go to Italy this weekend for our 30th anniversary so it's put the kybosh on that. That'll learn us for being a bit blasé. ...

Re: LORA ((Meshtastic network))
Looks interesting. The only downside that I can see is if there are no other units in range to act as repeaters.

Re: Gas canisters
When we had our little fire one of the firemen ran through a checklist to give us any advice; we were ok on all of it and when I mentioned I had a few cans of gas for the bistro stove in my workshop he said that wasn't a problem. If they were looking a bit iffy I'd take them to the household waste r...

Re: National grid (electric) look to suspend night time call outs to domestic power cuts
The simple(!) solution is open-ended fines so that they are charged per hour that a customer is off over the primary period.
