How serious are you about surviving anything that the 4th Reich can throw at you? #Survival #Prepping #TI

1. Brass Case for mini compass - £20

"4.0 out of 5 stars Get this for the casing only
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2022
Material Type: Brass
First off, the actual compass in this thing is simply dreadful. It’s a grossly inaccurate, cheap plastic compass with no lubrication and barely any lume. That’s not why you are buying this though. You are getting it to remove the cheap, useless compass in the casing and to replace it with a super high quality Francis Barker NATO survival button compass.

The back of the brass compass casing is removable with a standard adjustable watch case opener. The plastic compass inside pops right out, and is held in place with a rubber o-ring. Discard the compass and o-ring. Once you have everything apart, remove the lacquer covering the brass casing using acetone (it prevents the brass from developing a patina, and makes it difficult to polish unless its removed). Then sand down the parts with 450 grit sandpaper to remove the machining marks, and then with 2000 grit sandpaper. Finally buff to a shine with metal polish on a buffing wheel. The whole sanding/buffing process removes the writing on the back of the case.

The original compass dimensions are 16.9x6mm. The NATO survival compass dimensions are 15x5mm. Install a sapphire watch glass into the casing (if it has an antireflection coating, even better). This is to prevent the smaller NATO compass from falling out. The dimensions of the glass I used were 17.2x0.8mm. Next, install a new nitrile rubber o-ring on to the NATO compass around the central groove and press it into the case. The dimensions of the o-ring I used were 17.2mm OD, 14mm ID (1.6mm width). Reinstall the back casing and dab a few drops of loctite on the threads before installing.

The compass is now highly functional and really looks the business. I keep it on my keyring and it gets used constantly."

#Torture #TI

Some TI's have reported improved sleep with background 'white noise' (which I assume may interfere with e.g. subliminals etc). Never looked into that nor tried it (save via leaving on noisy appliances), but may now there are white noise generators specifically designed for home/office use at this price point (£32);

#TI #Survival #Prepping #Light #Lighting

If SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan) {yes, I know it already did for all TI's ... but I mean, spreads, like the TI phenomena did to just a few tens of million of us to a planet with COVID) getting hold of batteries may be impossible a while.

Best Solution (light/heat):

Feuerhand Storm Lantern 276 - Colour Edition - £31.41
{+£2.99 delivery inside UK mainland}

https://www.tamarackoutdoors.co.uk/PBSCProduct.asp?ItmID=35934910

Getting the coloured (paraffin) model = essential (accept no substitutes = will last a lifetime (unlike all the other metal models (including with coated metals). The coloured model is BOTH galvanized AND powdered = will not rust thus; and will last a lifetime.

Next best or Alternative (light/heat+cooking)

Dietz 2000; USD 74 (delivered, 48 States, USA)

https://www.homesteadersupply.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1613

A couple of days to nail this one; I just bought my first Feuerhand 276 ;) I will also likely get the model above also, when I can afford it. Cool. :) (note; likely cost around £100-110 including import taxes/int. delivery).

Both together; GBP 140 done; household lighting that can get me through months/years/a lifetime of no electricity. ... Including with heating water continuously on the latter; continuous hot drinks OR WATER FOR HOT WATER BOTTLES = could be a life-saver.

Feuerhand = 7 candles worth of light output
Dietz 2000 = 9

"Boiling a field cup (355 ml) of water using the cooking adapter takes 15–20 minutes."

= backup stove (and the most efficient use of paraffin I can find ... heat (9 candles); light, 9 candles; cooking too, all from the same burn.

Why Choose Oil Lamps?
Oil lamps allow you to have emergency lighting that is not reliant on electrical power, batteries, or solar power being available. All that an oil lamp needs to operate is a source of fuel—kerosene, paraffin oil, or citronella oil.

Under more pressing situations, they can be fueled by common cooking oils, such as olive, corn, canola, and olive oil.

They are also very efficient. Most consume less than 1 ounce (29.6 ml) of oil per hour. This means that 1 gallon (3.74 liters) of oil can yield 128 to 256 hours of lighting.

Hurricane-style oil lamps, those that protect the flame from the wind, will provide you with steady lighting throughout the night. Since they are clean-burning, oil lamps are safe to use indoors and outdoors.

Everything else I can find is sub-optimal in some way.

Will write the above up into a new Peace Officers doc and add to the collection; Grid-Down-Defences (?) or similar.
