Re: The Black Sky Event Plan
In the winter of 1990, I experienced a power outage that lasted several days, which also impacted on water supply pumps. No leccy, no power to the gas CH pump, no lights, no anything that needed mains power. Luckily, I still had a coal fire, candles, and a battery radio. Water came from snow and was boiled in a pan on the coal fire.
Cold baked beans and other canned foods straight from the can don’t taste that bad, for does cold canned rice pud.

Re: The Black Sky Event Plan
That's a good point about water, one hopes there's some good back-up for mains water delivery . . . there are many that don't have the space for a 'field latrine' in their gardens . . or actually have a garden
