T+7 questions

Good to know

No medicines, no gas heaters and no petrol. Portable gas heaters are a leading cause of carbon monoxide poisoning in power cuts, so we keep you warm with down, merino and wool instead.

What can a 1 kWh power station run?

Roughly: a fridge for 10 to 15 hours, a broadband router for around four days, or phones and lights for the whole week. The solar panel adds charge on bright days.

Is the stove safe indoors?

No. Cook outside or somewhere well ventilated, never in a closed room. The kit includes a combined smoke and carbon monoxide alarm for that reason.

Why no gas heater?

Portable gas heaters used indoors cause carbon monoxide poisoning in power cuts. Insulation, down sleeping bags, merino layers, wool and hot-water bottles keep you warm without that risk.

Does the power station need looking after?

Charge it every three months. Rotation members get a reminder and a service check.
