Outdoor rwvolution.jpg
Outdoor Revolution Compressor Cooler Box 40L

A 40-litre compressor cool box that chills like a fridge without needing ice. It suits camping trips and long car journeys, and it also means you have somewhere cold for milk, insulin, or baby food if your fridge is out of action. Run it from the car, or from a portable power station during a power cut.

Camping Gaz Stove.jpg
Campingaz Camping Cook CV Gas Stove, 2-Burner

A two-burner Campingaz table stove with individually adjustable burners and pan grids that go in the dishwasher. It runs on the resealable CV 470 Plus cartridges, which click on and off cleanly. It's for the garden, balcony, or campsite: never use a gas stove indoors. Two burners mean the tea and the beans are ready at the same time.

Dellonda.jpg
Dellonda 60L Portable Car Fridge/Freezer

A 60-litre compressor fridge-freezer with handles, built for road trips, caravans, and fishing. It runs from a 12V car socket; the mains adaptor is sold separately. During a long power cut, powered from a power station, it keeps the most important cold food safe while the big fridge stays shut. Check the power station's capacity against the fridge's draw before relying on it.

Camping Gaz CV470.jpg
Campingaz CV 470 Plus Gas Cartridges (4-pack)

A four-pack of Campingaz CV 470 Plus cartridges, with a self-sealing valve so you can disconnect them part-used without waste. The 80/20 butane-propane mix works better than straight butane in cold weather, which matters in a British winter. Age-restricted to over 18s. Keep a pack with the stove so it's ready when you need it.

Aaobosi.jpg
Aaobosi 95L Car Fridge, Camping Fridge Freezer Dual Zone

A 95-litre dual-zone compressor fridge-freezer, split 57 litres and 38 litres, with each side set separately. The maker says it chills from 25°C to 0°C in 15 minutes. It's a big unit, best for families who caravan or camp a lot and want one appliance that doubles as a backup fridge-freezer when the power goes off at home.

Outsunny.jpg
Outsunny Portable Camping Table, 3ft Lightweight Folding Aluminium Picnic Table with Roll-Up Top and Carry Bag

A lightweight aluminium folding table that rolls up into its own carry bag. Its legs adjust between 45cm and 66cm, which keeps it steady on uneven ground, and there's a detachable mesh basket below for small bits. Useful as a safe, stable outdoor surface for a camping stove, which belongs outside and never on the floor.

Hikeamn wind shield.jpg
Hikeamn Gas Stove Windshield

A folding aluminium windshield that wraps around a camping stove to keep the flame steady. Out of the wind, a stove boils faster and uses less gas, which matters when you're trying to make cartridges last. It folds flat into a nylon pouch. Only for use outdoors; keep the air hole clear so the stove can breathe.

Trangia.jpg
Trangia 25-1 UL Cook Set

A classic Trangia storm cooker set for three or four people: two saucepans, a frying pan, a two-piece windshield, a spirit burner, and a pan gripper, all nesting into one compact bundle. It runs on meths, not gas, so it's quiet and simple. Lightweight aluminium spreads heat evenly. A favourite of Scouts and walkers for decades. Outdoor use only.

Firew safety pack.jpg
Small Home Fire Safety Pack: 600g Aerosol Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher & 1m x 1m Fire Blanket

A small 600g aerosol extinguisher with a 1m-square fire blanket, together. The blanket is the right tool for a pan fire, and the aerosol tackles flammable liquids and gases in open spaces. The maker warns that powder extinguishers shouldn't be used in confined spaces. A good pairing for anyone cooking on a camping stove, whether in the garden or on a balcony.

Greenhaven.jpg
Green Haven Portable Double Burner Gas Cooker with Auto Ignition

A double-burner gas cooker with push-button ignition, so no matches needed. It takes standard 227g butane canisters, or a larger LPG bottle with a hose and regulator, which are sold separately. Two burners let you cook a proper meal in the garden when the electric hob is out of action. For outdoor use only.

Hisescn Cooking Set.jpg
Hisencn Camping Stove Cooking Set

An all-in-one camping kit with a twin-burner stove, frying pan, griddle, kettle, and lidded pot, all packed together. Having everything in one set means no hunting for pans when the power is out. The stove is strictly for outdoor use. Good for families who already camp and want one kit that pulls double duty in the garden during a power cut.

Milestone.jpg
Milestone Camping 24860 2L Whistling Camping Kettle

A two-litre whistling kettle for camping stoves, light and tough, with a folding handle. The whistle matters more than you'd think: when you're busy keeping the household cheerful, you won't forget it's on. A cup of tea is the single most British coping mechanism there is, and this makes it possible without electricity.

Firemaple.jpg
Fire Maple Antarcti SUS304 Stainless Steel 1.5L Camping Kettle

A 1.5-litre camping kettle made from food-grade stainless steel, sturdier than aluminium and good at holding its heat. Its large rotating handle makes it easy to lift safely from a stove. Use it for tea, coffee, and boiling water for cooking. A kettle that will last for decades of camping holidays, and for the odd evening when the power is off.

Foogoo plates.jpg
Foogo Green 150pcs Disposable Palm Leaf Plates, Wooden Cutlery Set and Brown Napkins

A 150-piece set of compostable palm-leaf plates, wooden cutlery, and paper napkins. If the water is off, the last thing you want is a sink full of washing-up you can't do, and these mean you won't have one. They're sturdy enough for proper meals and don't buckle under weight. Also excellent for barbecues and garden parties.

Thermos 470.jpg
Thermos Stainless King Food Flask 470ml

A 470ml Thermos food flask that keeps food hot for 14 hours or cold for 24. Boil water or heat soup once, while you have power or gas, and the meal stays hot for hours. The lid doubles as a bowl. A clever way to stretch every cartridge of gas, and very handy in a packed lunch too.

foogoo cups.jpg
Foogo Green 25pcs 10oz Disposable Strong Triple-Wall Brown Paper Coffee Cups with Secure Lids

Twenty-five triple-walled paper cups with lids, FSC-certified and insulated enough to hold a hot drink comfortably. Like the palm-leaf plates, they're about avoiding washing-up when water is short. They also make a tray of tea for the neighbours much easier to carry. Store them flat and they take up almost no room.

Thermos 710.jpg
Thermos Stainless King Food Flask 710ml

The larger 710ml Thermos food flask, with the same 14 hours hot or 24 hours cold. That's room for a proper portion of stew or porridge, made in the morning and eaten at lunchtime. The insulated lid doubles as a bowl. For a power cut, cook once and keep everything warm without lighting the stove again.

tablecloths.jpg
10-Pack Disposable Party Tablecloths

Ten disposable tablecloths for tables up to eight feet long, in bright colours. This is part of our 'indoor camping holiday' kit: when the power's out and everyone's at home, a cheerful tablecloth turns a candlelit supper into an occasion rather than an ordeal. They also save washing table linen when water is short.

confetti balloons.jpg
4 Balloon Stands with Confetti-Filled Black and Gold Balloons

Four table balloon stands with confetti-filled balloons. Admittedly not emergency equipment. But a power cut with children in the house goes much better if someone declares it a party, and this is the quickest route to that announcement. Keep them in the 'indoor camping holiday' box for when morale needs a boost.

fireangel.jpg
FireAngel Carbon Monoxide Alarm and Detector

A very necessary carbon monoxide alarm with a 85dB alarm, and a flashing red light. Carbon monoxide has no smell or colour, and the risk rises during power cuts, when people bring heaters, stoves, and generators into play. If you use any gas, paraffin, or fuel-burning appliance, this isn't optional. Never ignore it when it sounds.

pom poms.jpg
12-Piece Tissue Paper Pompoms in Party Colours

A dozen colourful tissue paper pompoms in two sizes, reusable and easy to hang. Like the balloons, these are for the morale end of preparedness. A few pompoms above the kitchen table can turn three days at home into an adventure for younger members of the household. They pack flat and take up no space.

candelabra.jpg
Sumnacon Metal 3-Arm Candelabra

A three-arm metal candelabra with a soft velvet base to protect the table. It brings proper warm light to a dinner table, and that light makes a power-cut supper feel deliberate rather than desperate. Never leave candles burning unattended, and keep them well away from curtains, children, and pets. For general lighting, LED lanterns are the safer choice.
