@Michael e Catharine Whitby it’s an easy drive from Tomar, so we went by car on a day trip.

Off-grid / preparedness equipment research & recommendations
I am looking into Starlink, battery packs, solar panels, wind turbines, inverters, stoves etc, etc and will share my information here. Ultimate aim is to be able to broadcast Good Morning Portugal! when mains grid power and standard internet are down.

This guy talks a lot of sense, you should get him on the show. This video has good advice for a basic solar system that could save you money and act as a backup during power outages… https://youtu.be/f7R-G5gffhs?si=GPQvLnLDMA0XCXy2 He also gives sound advice about living on a tight budget.

@Carl Munson that’s a good option; a generator that gives at least 3kW is good for most applications, so long as you stagger your usage.

I don’t know how accurate this is; but the north east and Alentejo look the safest. It ‘feels’ accurate.

@Carl Munson indeed it is. I was hoping that our resident crime reporter might comment.

@António Ferreira the crime is reported as per 100,000 people. But yes, good to know that it appears to be correct.
