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. Not trekking about the house in the middle of the night is such a boon :lol: and it sounds like the house is more pleasant to live in, full stop, as well as better for the offspring to face.

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.

Re: Geiger Counters - Recommendations
Don't forget size up a 6 inch nail and hammer to get your door hinges off... have them in a box with duct tape for windows and tarps. Sorry what? :? :? :? If you want me to understand where the nail and the hammer comes in, I'm afraid you're going to have to expand that a bit :mrgreen: Duct tape an...
