That's one bad perm....

Looks more like someone's stuck a metal coat hanger in a socket and that hairdo is the result!

Take that tinfoil hat off!!! :tinfoil :tinfoil :tinfoil
This site has probably been monitored for a long time, just like any other "prepper/survivalist" forum in the UK, and a lot of other ones who are gathering people together.

Hopefully they have realised that looking in on prepper sites is good for everyone who keeps the discussions legal and appropriate to the subject matter, anything/anyone that draws attention to themselves or this excellent site by posting illegal or inappropriate stuff is worth avoiding IMO.

Now wheres that "ignore" button :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's two lanterns and two stoves now, so using paraffin as a fuel; that's my lighting and cooking covered.

Now need to stock up on spare parts for future repairs.
I hope we didn't bid the same stove... I just lost a valor 64c paraffin stove. If it was you then I wouldn't bid higher ;)
Stove arrived today, time for a fettle and a polish up:

Oh, so you've got the portable one. That's fine then, I was bidding on the Valor one :D


I'm just awaiting a delivery of: 25 x 5l food grade buckets (that's for the long term food storage), 1 small paraffin heater, 1 big paraffin heater, 1 solar battery charger for 10 batteries, 1 solar mobile phone/mp3 player/etc. charger, 3 cree led headlights and 2 cree led mini torches.
In a couple days I will be getting 2 solar lanterns and 2 more cree led torches.

I got a few cookers off Ebay earlier in the year.

one of these

And one of these

Got them both from one seller for about £10.

Pity it is petrol, but as it is a pressure stove it should be ok with less potent petrol. So my prep this week will ber to fire it up again. :mrgreen:

Yep, fits into the lid of a Swedish Army Cook Box:

So both lanterns and stoves fit into the box with fuel.

I have other boxes for cook kit.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

It is, I have three now :roll:

No12s are a lot more expensive, but over-rated and a lot more smelly, diesel stinks if you get it on your hands and it's hard to get the smell off you and your gear.

Grain Mill arrived. Nice looking piece of kit. Plus 20Kg of grains in a sealed bucket. Going to have to split it down on the weekend. It's the size of a brewing bucket....
