Step 1: What If the Lights Went Out?

What if the lights went out?


Could you cope for 24 hours with no power? Electricity is always “on tap”, but, as has been seen in the North of England and Scotland recently, adverse weather can cause our supply to fail.


I have put together a “Power Cut Kit” Hamper - with everything I would want if my power went off for 24 hours or longer.

Cost, excluding cash - £130
