Chicken out?

Chicken out?

Think more my body shape would be a problem down in the depths...

Power failures are where an open fire comes in handy.

You'll have a decent supply of batteries for the radio, a wind up torch. Tea, milk & sugar supplies to last?

Back in the day when I had employees I used to get job applications from people who admitted they found life wherever they lived too stressful and wanted to come and live on a nice peaceful island. Nobody from outside can understand that life on an island is harder than on the mainland and many aspects of life are in fact more stressful. When I came all those years ago I knew I was coming to a stressful job which required a lot of hard work. The first winter often is just too much for many of the settlers who have only seen summer conditions and they flee at the first opportunity.
Why do I still live here? There are many compensations and I have had a more interesting and varied life than if I had remained in a more mundane job on the mainland. Fortunately my wife also liked it here.
To answer your question. Yes I am well provisioned for a prolonged siege.

That gave me visions of a wagon train heading through the Pass of Brander before the run down to Oban...

Wagons indeed but all with 4 wheel drive except the eco warriors who tend to have ancient vehicles ( not cars). One guy arrived in a converted army assault craft which he sailed from the Thames on the basis that if he kept the land on his left he would arrive here eventually, or so he claimed. He parked it on the beach in front of the public toilets with mooring ropes to the railings which they used to pull a dinghy ashore when the tide was in. Actually a very nice guy and a talented artist. I have some of his work hanging on my living room wall. One of the strangely rare assets to the community at that time.

Two-Three inches maybe...
Go faster stripes!
Not true!
Over 50% more muscles required for a smile compared to a frown. Which means more energy required to smile, a frown, you can let gravity do more work for you.
