Well done Andy, I’m an electrical/mechanical engineer so this really interests me and is well within my skillset. Looked st the link and was pleased by the price. Think I will be buying one. Thanks for posting.

Fluid enhancers

So I ordered some of these and they're great! They're working well for me - I ordered 16 boxes of 12 (to get the free postage), all different flavours, and in this hot weather I fill a pint glass with water, wander over to the box and grab the flavour I fancy today. If I go out I do the same with a 500ml bottle. My fluid intake is now rather better than it has been in the past! I've ordered some more as they're BBE 2020. Having a wide variety of flavours to chose from is important I discovered - when I was down with flu for 2 weeks a few years back my tastes changed and my normal beverages were just very unappealing. Fortunately I had a pack of instant ice lemon tea stashed away which I could stomach. Thanks for the link!

I ordered some yesterday. I've had Crystal Light from USA in the past and these look the same they are a fab way of, as Pseudonym says enhancing water and being so small I carry them in my handbag, take them camping and when I had the allotment I always had some in the tuck box.

My thinking too, apart from the handbag bit

Been quite productive, more dehydrating, made some charcloth (a bit of an affectation, I've loads of alternatives), been getting plenty practise packing my bag to escape for the weekends too, back up the hills this weekend. Its not football but the next best thing.

At danger of going seriously off topic deeps, what team do you support?

All I’ve done prep wise this week is bought a 20l fuel can and filled it with diesel.

Oh no wait, I bought some baofeng radios too.

Small prep purchase this week but it's breathed new life into my older solar panels https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chargers-2-Pac ... sb+adaptor

Just in from doing maintenance on a bothy so prep wise, learned some DIY skills and got to use some of my gear. We were carrying in a fair bit so got a good workout too.
