Partial load out from this morning's ham radio event. Fully loaded first aid kit (my son's tactical backpack choice, I would have gone full neon), Weed whacker (unnecessary, there was a nice clearing for me to park), water (definitely handed a few out to the desperate walkers at the end...), jump box, duct tape. In the "auto" box a full kit for offroad ie strap, jumpers, tire repair kit, fuses, multimeter, zip ties... folding shovel, axe. In "health" the most important thing being toilet paper, lol. Also paper towels, etc. #preparedness #hamradio

Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Estonia are soon enabling offline debit card payments for at least seven days without network connectivity. The change covers payments for essential goods in physical trade, such as food, medicine, and fuel. Each country has made - or is in the process of making - the required changes to their related regulations to enable it.
The motivation for this change is to enable payments even in exceptional situations such as network disruptions due to sabotage or conflict. TL;DR: You can pay for essentials even if Russia cuts the cables.
Plans for this change were announced in May 2025: https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/nordics-estonia-plan-offline-card-payment-back-up-if-internet-cut-2025-05-07/

“In relative peacetime of no major outbreaks, no major pandemics, it’ll be fine,” said Jill Taylor, who directed the Wadsworth Center, New York State’s public health laboratory, until October 2020.
But, she said, “If we have an emergency all of a sudden, God help us.”

Question for the #hiking and #preparedness crowd: Can you list the 10 essentials?
My problem with the list is that 10 things is too many to remember. I think there's probably a condensed list that's easier to remember.
I have a written checklist on my gear cabinet door that I usually at least glance at while packing but even so, it's 9 things, not 10.
