Terrible Jer, and it's not hard to see how it happens when folks are cold and desperate. It was a major killer of high level mountaineers too, where extreme temperatures and severe weather forces climbers to cook inside a tent, while lying down. I have gas stoves for cooking, but I wouldn't try heating with them, that's where I'd have to rely on warm clothing, and hot-water bottles, like we all used to do in the days before central heating
You sound well-prepared.
Thanks... I hope you have a good day too.
Those biscuits look amazing.
In fairness to the people who were killed by their generators, they didn't necessarily have the money to get their generators properly installed.
I have a kerosene heater (oil stove in Japanese) in the garage. I think it would be safe to run that in the fireplace. I should find it and see if it works and if I have any kerosene (parrafin in English?) for it. Maybe even put it in the fireplace before I need it.
I have a battery-operated CM detector, as you really never know. Yeah, it's paraffin here, you don't see the heaters much anymore, but you certainly did in the past. I have lamp oil for my storm lanterns, but kerosene is less expensive. I hope you don't have any problems this winter Jer

Thanks John, I try to be
I was just thinking of batteries, I also have a couple of battery-powered lanterns, and always keep a good stock of lithium batteries in. I think I've only suffered one brief power-cut in the past 30 years (used to be more common before that), but you never know. Who'd have imagined the events of the past couple of years? 
Thanks again my friend, I'll eat another biscuit for youThanks... I hope you have a good day too.

Hope your golf goes OK Bill, and that the rain holds off
Congratulations KevinHere they are! The two newest members to my lambsfoot collection!
You're now well down the " Rabbit Hole ".Here they are! The two newest members to my lambsfoot collection!
What do you think of the stag ?
I like the stag. It's a bit thicker then i thought it would be. But i think it fills the hand. Very happy with it. It's my first time having stag covers aswell.You're now well down the " Rabbit Hole ".
Story time:More information please.
Glad you like the stag, if i can give a little tip, which may help you like it even more, not guaranteed but may improve it. Quite often knives can sit in the factory as they go along the manufacturing process, as they sit there they can gather dust, grime and very fine metal dust. If you give the covers a clean with a soft cloth and some good cleaning liquid, you will be amazed at what grime can come out of the covers. I used to have photos but had them deleted, i use PH neutral leather cleaner, but you coud use any sort of good cleaning liquid. Give it a try, you may well be surprized.
I'd say that certainly is a win, you should have taken up medicine, you would have been great in the field of Penicillin and Anti-Biotics.
Thanks for the tip! Ill definitely give them a clean and see if anything comes off!Glad you like the stag, if i can give a little tip, which may help you like it even more, not guaranteed but may improve it.

Great pic Dylan, and it's good to see you here my friend
I knew somebody who did that habitually. She was a nurse, too. I suppose she might have been trying to kill herself by accident. But she was strange.
