2 of the wee battery led lamps

1 in car multi charger
What Preps are you doing this week
Re: What Preps are you doing this week
Working on the two is one and one is none principal, my new wood burner arrived today. A Vargo Titanium Hexaginal Woodstove ( the one on the left).
Had to get it. It weighs only 4.1 oz.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week
I've ripped up the food storage plan and started again - and it's working much better (I think).
I'm listing and storing a three month supply in "week units" rather than in classifications or "all tins together" (which is my excess and still kept as back up store). Sorted like this the planning is more straightforward I think. I'm planning a "drill week" the first week in June so will be able to assess if the "week unit" of menus and stores that I've calculated is right for our family or if we do indeed run out of toilet roll by day four....
I'm keeping 12 weeks stored in that way and numbering each week unit 1-12. This gives automatic rotation because I can review week 1 knowing that it has the oldest content and remove and use older stuff from that week unit, topping up from the back up store to take back to the week unit level and so renumber as week 12 and the rest all move down a digit.
A big plus is that anybody can "pick up" the system if I'm unable to through sickness etc. and know that the "week unit" is what should be used - no more and no less.
I hope this makes sense!

Maybe he had extra topsoil brought in (more than the usual 1 inch or so) so that when SHTF he can plow it up and turn it into a veggie garden. I did that in my last house.Huntsman wrote:Looks good and also icannot help but say, your lawn is magnificent

Nah, he's taken the Ti stove round to the local golf course, that's the 18th hole he's just photoshopped out the flag and cup 
If my garden was in the background you'd think you were on the Somme, especially after this bloody puppy has just trashed my greenhouse... Aaaaargh!!!

Re: What Preps are you doing this week
Actually it's taken down low, so you can't see the weeds or bare patches
Took the Vargo to the woods this weekend worked well:
This will be in my BOB, light, easy to set up and collapse and does the job required
