Definitely good luck.

I have had fun trying to find space in my cupboards for the tinned foods. Some of which will be good until 2017.
If i carry on getting little more at a time with each progressive shopping load, I will have to start coming up with clever places to put stuff.

But that is a challenge for another day.

Still no idea what a capping stove is ... would be nice to know.

Did a bit of a recce on Saturday to the big chandler's in Sussex, Dockerills, scouted out some prices for things I want - hurricane lamps, galvanised buckets, stuff like that. For items that are actual preps, rather than extra food, I must say I like to pay cash if I can.

I like Galvanized buckets, last longer than plastic ones and you can boil water in them

Be careful there if you do boil water in the bucket I found out the hard way as an apprentice that the coating for galvanising if pretty bad for you if you try and weld galvie metal. Make sure you boil it outside or somewhere well ventilated in case the coating burns off.

There is quite a difference between boiling a couple of gallons of water in a bucket to welding though, several hundred degrees in temp for one. I don't use it for drinking though, very good for washing up though.

When I bought this house it had a galvanized cold water tank and hot water cylinder, though the rust that came in the water when used it was soon ripped out.

Have done it dozens of times and never had the zinc coating burn off, I also use a toasting fork made from a bit of zinc coated wire, looks like this one
