@Pepijn What an experience. Such a vivid account too. Thanks for sharing this.

@maiathecyberwitch Fantastisk. Tak!

@sebastien Flot koncept og butik! Tillykke og held & lykke med det.

@vfrmedia @LunaDragofelis @BashStKid @afewbugs Yikes, looks like sandpaper, which I assume it almost is.

@huntingdon @afewbugs Agreed that 7 days' self-sufficiency would be even better, if that is possible for some people and places.

@vfrmedia @LunaDragofelis @BashStKid @afewbugs I'm torn now between wanting to adopt Kreppapir in English and thinking it could sound like crepe paper.

@jgordon @afewbugs @vfrmedia @BashStKid For stockpiling? Sounds good.

@mewsleah @BashStKid @afewbugs @vfrmedia I see I am going to have to look up Izal loo roll. It's starting to sound useful. Multi-purpose!

@afewbugs @BashStKid @vfrmedia That's a fascinating theory.

@huntingdon @afewbugs Three days' self-sufficiency is the default recommendation in Scandinavian countries too. Seems to be calculated to give emergency services breathing space immediately after a disaster. The seven-day framework for the Hals community doing collective preparation is something they decided to aim for themselves, am extra goal.

@afewbugs @vfrmedia @BashStKid Those certainly look like better, tastier ready-meals than the usual spammier kinds.

@vfrmedia @afewbugs @BashStKid Rogan Josh in a jar! I never thought of this. Suddenly my emergency stocks seem potentially more tasty.

@afewbugs @vfrmedia @BashStKid Bin Larder! That's so good. I see a running plot thread in a novel here, a couple eating their way through Spam, week after week, year after year, for so long that they have grandchildren who don't get the Bin Larder joke because it's now archaic.

@vfrmedia @BashStKid @afewbugs True

@saederup (Sorry, I only saw now, for the first time, your pinned preference for not having your toots boosted. Have unboosted and will try to remember that.)

Lovely to see the work in progress!

@BashStKid @afewbugs The flip side of that story is that only 12% of Danes in a national survey said they were part of collective preparations in their local area. But 40% said they would like to be, if the authorities offered group plans. The Hals initiative seems to be especially good because one great local woman started the work and got it all going.

@afewbugs Good to see this issue highlighted. This reminded me of a motivating news story here (Denmark) about Hals, a town of 2,500 residents, many elderly. They've pooled their emergency preparations. As a community, they've collectively made sure everyone has enough to last 7 days; there's designated shelter spaces; the local shop has pre-planned emergency stock boxes etc. Great way to take care of everyone, including those for whom money, mobility or space is tight.

@crcollins Great shot! So evocative. Like something memorable is about to happen.

One year ago, the council invited us to tell them 'what's crap and what's great' about cycling in the city. It was a user-friendly survey with intuitive maps where you could pinpoint, say, a good bike park or a too-narrow cycleway. I think they listened, because they're installing great new stuff now. Two-way bike lanes to save time crossing a main road. Cargo bike parking. Wider bike lanes with room for modern bikes and safe overtaking. Park & Ride bike shelters at bus stops.
