What have done towards your prep?

[Straight Shooter]

Yes MB I could rig something up as you describe and easy to build up , I also have on hand a copper insulated cylinder ( indirect ) for hot water and central heating and all the copper pipe and fittings for a full installation ….only if it’s a long term thing would I go to that trouble but I have the option I have the expansion tank ( header tank ?…cold reserve ) and ball valve ….. if the lpg does run out or hard to get hold of I would run the system in .

I also take onboard the white enamel pale which is the way I will go short term at least …good advice thanks mate!

Then I get BP ringing in my ears KISS …..do I really want to make things that complicated , although the work is well within my skill sets …..is it that important really ? ……the circulation pumps are probably better employed for the aquaponics / hydroponics systems short term anyway ……as for solar panels it’s a unknown quantity at this moment in time , which you rightly point out and so many variables .

The most important thing is we all have options of some description that we are comfortable with and capability of getting it done in our own way to suit our individual skills if these are lacking or falling short ,then we must learn how to get the job done ! ……be in no doubt you are responsible for you and yours I doubt anyone will come a running to help you least of all the gov , the only hope is like minded preppers that you could cultivate into a group even then there could well be struggles with differing points of view on how things get done , it’s just the way it is , the good news is when you participate in a forum such as ours many points of view are thrown up , stuff we have not considered have great value when explained by other members and make for better understanding .
