When the Lights Go Out — The UK & Europe Home Survival Manual
A 200-page field manual for when the systems fail: how long phones, payments and water really last in a blackout; keeping phones, routers and medical devices powered (with the maths); making water safe with boiling or plain bleach; heat, food and toilets when services stop; first aid when help is slow; comms when networks fail; go bags; floods, storms, heat and snow; and what official guidance actually says about war, nuclear and cyber attacks. 42 diagrams, 12 one-page summaries, every fact sourced.
