It's a tiny thing and trivial, but I discovered, to my peril, that only one of the cars has USB-C charge point. In power outage, that was a last line of defense and we could have been without phone and internet.. So today i got USB-C adapter and assorted leads for the other car.

Next see if the socket is live with the ignition off so you don't needlessly have to sit in the car with the ignition on whilst it chargesjennyjj01 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2024 9:37 am It's a tiny thing and trivial, but I discovered, to my peril, that only one of the cars has USB-C charge point.

Re: Vehicle Preps
I try keeping as little as I can:
1. car - compulsory kit like spare tyre, fire extinguisher etc plus Jerven Extreme Bag, two medical kits (military so that I could use for hunting too), two blizzard bags, jump leads, electric pump, Dynaplug (checked - it works and very easy, just what you want in emergency though not for all punctures), shopping bags
2. Scooter - military kit, handheld jump leads from power bank, extra tools to get to battery quickly including head torch
3. Office bag - usual office staff plus water and long life rations as I need to eat them for rotation and in case I miss the lunch
Thinking to add swim goggle and respirator as I am quite concerned about increased probability of the nuclear war - it is a compact, but will reduce exposure though leaves a lot of open skin
