cloud in itself isn't a bad concept. worry really is more whether the cloud is secure and if the NSA is sneakily looking at your data.
I've seen analysis and predictive analysis of something as simple as what I eat that day. The analytics can predict what i would eat.
That is really really scary. MAtrix/Terminator kinda SHTF scenarios

yah. it obviously has nothing to do with soverignty. Its all about resources.
If you look back at WWII, there is some similarity with Japan in WWII and China now. Industry is building up and resources are insufficient.
That parallel is really scary.

yes there is that too.
our National Environment Agency says there is little chance of affecting us. Wait till a super volcano hits... we'll be screwed then.
Solar will be useless too

Haze season in SEA tends to be in June, when the indonesians burn their forests to build farms.
Due to the hot weather recently, they've started burning early.
oh dear.
Its haze season again back in SG, MY

hmmmmm ... i will have to revisit the BOB now lol. I was hoping to carry enough for myself and the missus.
But ultimately this means that I would have to carry a filter + method of boiling + a non collapsible 2L bottle. 1 Day prep in advance.
But yes, in line with the 2 is 1 and 1 is none mantra, that would make sense.

no worries mate we're all here to learn. I'm trying to build my Bug in with batteries... AA or smaller. When I have that capability, I'll build bigger. Living in an apartment really makes you think hard on what to store up on.

i thought about that. I tried it once too. Its way too heavy esp in a bug out bag. Thats why I've reduced it to 2L through the bottles.
2L is enough for 1 person for 1 day. I have collapsible 3l carriers which can run through the bottles. The OKO bottles are AWESOME.

i get you on Solar. I believe Solar is the way to go but again, in my first post in the thread, I mentioned that I believe in redundancies. What if scenarios run through my mind. What if the solar panels die out? or someone comes along and damages or worse, STEALS my solar panels? I could have backups and I could have redundancies. When I was in the DDP Forums, someone told me this. "2 is 1 and 1 is none" ... this simple mantra reverberated through me quite a fair bit. Your comment is fair and damn the cup charger looks really good And yes, thermo wouldn't beat solar but thermo is a redundancy that was the thread intent and yes, the whole purpose is to build my own. Thats really the cool part about it, thermo is cheap enough to play around and build as a DIY Experiment. haha ... we're all here to learn and I dare say I've learnt much from your 1 humble post way to go mate!

When I first started packing my BOB, I'd wanted to carry 4.5L of water with me. Thats supposed to last 3 days, rationed. Then I realised that 4.5L is 4.5KG of unecessary weight. I reckon 2L to 3L would be sufficient for probably about a day, taking into account perspiration. Singapore is a tropical country after all. Which led me to think about filtration systems and those I can buy off the shelf. After doing some research _and_ some testing, I've narrowed down to 2. Of course, I will supplement them with a Lifestraw or Clean Sip kinda product but these 2 bottles will be my go-to bottles so I can carry my water a long. Some of the considerations I used to choose my bottles. 1. BPA Free 2. Multiple Sizes - The missus carries a smaller bottle. I carry the 1L version. 3. Filter effectiveness - 99% and above. The 2 bottles I pack in my BOB now are www.clear2o.com/p-2-clear2go-filter-sport-water-bottle-silver-cwb200-3.aspxwww.okoh2o.com/I will likely source for an additional oko odyessey as I like multi use. Now to lighten my food load

yeah. we don't really like interference.... lol. i don't know if the west would be cheap labour but if you see the movement of people from the west to Asean countries, its quite scary.

yeah. some guys from a local forum have been monitoring this quite closely.
there've been some minor scuffles like withdrawing invites for the Singapore Air Show and the likes.
Time will tell I guess. Doesn't hurt to monitor it.

some stuff has been worrying.
1. China's growing influence and the whole spratleys thing.
2. Indonesian Navy named new frigate after the 2 terrorists who bombed a place in Singapore.

thanks Dr Gaz!
haha.. i'm very intrigued by this biostove thing and stumbled upon the candle powered fan.
When biostove came up with the home stove, and explained some of the mechanics, then it all made sense. Gonna try building my own !
