Same here, although I don’t know how long I’ve been on DDG exactly. I never not find what I’m looking for.

I wouldn’t usually say this, but same here. I spend three months of the year in a leadership position (with some operational requirements) with the a United Nations agency in disaster relief in South Asia (volunteer with some fringe benefits - meals, accommodation etc.). Have done so since 2004. Apparently I’m not of use to the SES (QLD). I’ll just keep ensuring that global disasters are managed appropriately whilst the experts back home keep everything going here.

I was in Brisbane for the local weather event. I contacted the SES again. Again, no use. Instead I personally contacted a few disability support organisations and arranged to fill sandbags and install them at their clients homes (I did over 30 homes). Interestingly, the SES and others were nowhere to be seen. Seems they could have used some assistance.

You won’t find an electric kettle without plastic as the power cable and some other shielding will be plastic at a minimum.

If it’s just that you don’t want plastic “touching” the water then you’ll find a few models around.

I don’t have any plastic in my cooking gear for camping, so that could be a good start.

Upvoted because it’s the Woz. Will go read the article now…
