Lidl have BBQ supplies which includes firefighters at €2.49.
What is different is that they are wax impregnated wood shavings!
I've just tried and they light up easily with a fire steel spark.
Useful, waterproof, firelighting aids to have in the bag.
The "bushcraft" version of this is quite expensive!

€7.99 each, a bargain, about right or a bit dear?

Khannie

Pretty decent value. I'm comparing against buckets for brewing (also food safe) but they'd be about twice the price for similar volume.

wolfeye

Yup 7.99 euro looks good for a 39 litre screw lid drum.
Do you need buy a pallet of them? what's the postage like?

16 litre 4.99 euro.(holds 5kg)

Not sure I've seen it mentioned on the forum before or peoples thoughts on it, but Aldi have Tea Tree Oil for <€4 (€10+ in Boots). Not sure if it a permanent stock or just their (leftover) weekly random stock.

Dealz have vinyl-like pouches at the moment, with a reinforced eyelet and double seal. The material is smooth but durable. opaque on one side.

I'm using the smallest of the three for Passport and various documents. You can turn down the neck of the pouches and still be clear of the double seal, to provide a bit more protection.

€1.50 for a pack of three.







Photos taken in Dealz, Dún Laoghaire, South County Dublin.

Amalgam

Euro store (beside Abbey street Luas, Dublin City Centre) currently have 12 item velcro 'cable tidy' packs for €2. I was a bit here and there about them, from the point of view of quality control, but, having used them, they're okay.

Bind something up tight and you're set. I'm using them for various cables, power cables, weather proofed cable (stiff) for a Yagi etc. Keeps everything bound and tidy.

The lenght of strap you have to work with, is just over 6" (inches). 7" and a half, including the loop.

I'm quite sure there's a few Chinese sites where you can get similar for cheaper, but for over the counter, it might be handy for someone..





It's quite likely that other outlets in the Euro chain stock the same item.

Looks like a misprice?

Can use either D or AA batteries.

Esel

^ £10 on halfords.com

1 million candlepower (candelas) equates to

100 lux at 100 metres,
200 lux at 70 metres,
400 lux at 50 metres,
1000 lux at c. 32 metres,
2000 lux at c. 23 metres,
5000 lux at c. 14 metres,
10000 lux at 10 metres...

This is a weird one, the price of silver is dropping, lowest since 2010, honestly might be worth getting some for a rainy day. Just make sure you don't loose it in a terrible boating accident

Lamp is 3W LED, still grand but not as bright as I expected. Comes with fitted alkaline AA batteries.

Leaflet says not to fit both D and AA batteries at the same time (poster on the main BA thread said he bought last year and returned it because it did not seem to work on D batteries - this may have been the issue though).

Don't forget to check out the Christmas food specials which are appearing on the shelves in the supermarkets, there is a lot of high energy stuff with long BBD's.

Stuff to look out for in Lidl where I shop are things like rich fruit cakes and Christmas puddings. Christmas puds have a April 2016 BBD and will keep much longer. One of my favourites is the single serving mini Christmas Pudding at €1.29. In an emergency cooking them is a bit more difficult than just heating as ideally they need steaming but that just means leaving them in a pan of near boiling water for 30 mins. Marzipan in various forms of sweets also turns up in lidl at this time of year.

Then remember to keep an eye out after Christmas when the same stuff often gets reduced.

OK so I've stocked up on mini Christmas puddings so I can now feast for a few weeks on the ones I bought last year :pac:

Have you used the lamp much? How you finding it?

Not yet. On-off switch seems to be a bit dodgy.

Not sure if this should go in the Zombie survival forum or here, you guys decide.

You too can own one of these beauties, useful in many scenarios, for the princely sum of 4.99!!!! :eek:



Cash and carry stores (sadly only in Offaly and Gorey I believe) although maybe sold elsewhere.

And of course, remember these aren't machete's, they're gardening tools.

Pat Mustard

Machetes are illegal, unfortunately.

Gardening tools, you say?

How long is the blade on that anyway?

Stanley 12 in 1 MultiTool in B&Q 8euro in sale - they had a good dozen or so left up the far end near the cement and stuff (Edit forgot to say Waterford Store) but no prices on them check at the counter the price hasn't changed.

Small Leatherman type pliers with some other tools in the handles, not brilliant compared any Leatherman but worth the 8euro.

Yellow anodised alloy folding handles, in presentation bumox.

btw notices the hobnobs are still in Lidl and 300g packs are actually 99p.

not worth the eight quid, these would hardly cut twine, they had some in lidls three weeks ago for about 12 pound what's much better

Geez I'd have to go measure it but it's well over a foot long, probably closer to foot and a half, they're marked slashing knives I think, for brambles of course :rolleyes:

Might have been hacking knife as well.....Can't quite remember, somehow in my head it translated as zombie emergency tool

C'mere, I wasn't being sarcastic: I wouldn't mind having one. I'll leave that aspiration right there though, as we are all being civilised on the internet.

Dunnes stores have Erin/Campbells condensed soups for a Euro a can (or 2 for 2euro depending which ones) ending 11/11/2014. Check BBD as most should be good for 2 years but often the stock rotation is poor on canned stuff. Normally they are €1.65 a tin

Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Chicken, Tomato, Mild Curry (new one on me) Beef and veg etc all are good as soups and good bases for cooking like Cream of Chicken and a can of chicken chunks and your 99% of the way to a decent chicken supreme.
