Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 12

Too lazy to go shopping so I dug into my MRE main meals. Purely for research purposes you understand. :mrgreen: Surely you have stocks of ordinary food? Even sharing with 2 lodgers, I have a couple of month's food in the kitchen, most of which gets rotated and eaten. I don't have any in my room or ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 12

Once I was in there, there were so many gaps on the shelves in general that I had a bit of a 'prepper wobble' and £110 later... :lol: That's interesting, itsy - I only get supermarket deliveries, I don't often go in myself, so I couldn't tell you what our shelves are like down here (though I did pi...

Re: Knitters

Blankets for mugs :) If you've really got a mad amount of yarn, maybe curtain linings, light layers etc trapping air? Neck purse for your house key (and car key, and any other tiny stuff) when you're out and about, so you can get back. One of my nightmares is being the victim of a snatch and grab, w...

Re: Hello there

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you made a good move - have you enjoyed it so far? I couldn't go deep rural at my age, but kudos to you for doing it. There's a lot of different approaches and ways of life on here, and I'm absolutely sure no one will think you're insane on here :) Enjoy!

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 12

Medusa, what a shame about the precious jewellery :( but what you've actually done is remarkable, that's a lot.

Re: Geiger Counters - Recommendations

I'm totally ignorant of this and apologies if this comes across wrong- but what's the benefit of removing your doors to build a separate shelter inside your house? Surely the amount of material the radiation has to pass through would still be the same? I agree! Plus, if you keep your doors where th...

Re: Old wood fired outdoor oven

Shame about the eyebrow ... but so good that your preps looked after you as intended, and that you've added to your resilience with the stove, in no uncertain terms.
