. You're preaching to the converted here. When we lived on the station in the middle of nowhere, it was obviously deemed that people who lived that far away from civilisation didn't care about stuff like power. So when we had heavy snow that took the power lines out, I'm sure the wankers went back to town for morning, afternoon smokos and lunch. Our longest was just under three weeks
with me cooking on a three burner warehouse 'thing'. You can only eat so much boiled food.
I did splurge and buy a gas heater today (sorry Magoo). I had it going for a couple of hours, between that and the coal range, me and the dogs are toasty warm
