Village Preps

[Grumpy Grandpa]

It's probably already occurred to you RS but I wonder if this might present an opportunity for you to get your employer to consider a wee alteration to your solar set up for grid down? Perhaps presented as a benefit to the village, a source of power for charging batteries, using power tools or similar?

Then again, that might increase risk to your security, power availability bringing an increase in visitors to your home - along with their noses! Just a thought but it may be worth some consideration.

That aside, a preparedness committee might be an additional opportunity to raise the issue of mutual dependency in defence and protection - put forward as a beefed up neighbourhood watch maybe?

I wholeheartedly agree with the advice to 'keep your secrets secret'.
