The reason being I’m not able to regulate my own body temperature properly.
I had plans to have a tiny solar car battery to at least run some cooling or keep phone charged in blackouts or brownouts but I haven’t had the energy to troubleshoot low output or fix some wires that got damaged. And even it might not even be enough power to run cooling.
I have one or two similar, good but really slow to charge.
I’m mainly worried about being able to run cooling because of the poor design of my flat and the fact that disability makes me vulnerable to heatstroke.
Couple of little USB power packs and a little USB fan or 2 would make all the difference. Block out blinds and keep the freezer stick with an ice cube tray. Absolute worst case a cold Facewasher or feet in some cold water can make all the difference!
Stressing about the reliability of the electrical grid this summer.

So angry at the fuckwits that kept refusing and blocking renewables because coal was more profitable. Now we’re left scrambling and as always the elderly, very young, poor or disabled will cop it hardest.

Yeah no way, cooling is power hungry. It might even quickly drain a car battery. Especially inefficient appliances.
Cheers for the suggestion for phone charging, the Jaycar one might be higher quality than the ones I have
