Not at all crude, informative as ever. As you say many of the folk here are guys, but many of us want to prep for the other half too, and (I think) many guys don't get a huge amount of active support from the Mrs, so its great to have some female specific input and ideas.

Thanks bacpacjac

PS - Seeing tea lights in your post prompted me to remember that in various kits I have included not just tea lights, but also some vanilla scented tea lights, and some bug repellent tea lights, which frankly repel everyone. The vanilla lights are purely for aesthetics, and perhaps after some time in survival mode may be a pleasant distraction, although after a long enough period the bug repellent lights may be necessary !
