A kitchen in the dark during a power cut, rain on the window
Storms Austen and Boelo, October

When the lights
go out

When the power goes at night, the first thing you need is light and the second is a charged phone. The torch winds up by hand, the lantern and the power bank charge in the sun.

What the kit doesn't cover
