Just ordered 2 x 400w flexible solar panels for flat wall mounting.

Some raw plugs and screws will fix them to the wall.

Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Return home from jollies tomorrow see some areas supermarkets are stripped and can't see a basic gas camping stove on either Amazon or eBay at a decent price :cry: :cry: :cry: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

So tomorrow mid morning I'm going preper shopping not that I need much but might as well top off stocks


Just wait whilst the masses realise they need batteries lanterns and torches, matches and lighters . And wait till it gets cold you won't get a blanket or sleeping bag or hot water bottle anywhere
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

I was actually thinking about a sleeping bag but am wondering if it's overkill as I have two huge quilts and a lot of woolly blankets. :lol:

Depends if you are ever thinking of bugging out. Bulk and ease of portability come into play.

If not, you are set itsy.

I like sleeping bags they trap the warmth budget option British army artic bag with front zip quick to get out of it needed..

I've also got a snugpac 5 season winter bag which unless it's Baltic is simply too warm
