I've been watching a youtube channel that describes themselves as Financial Historians...... Interesting how in all of the documented Economic collapses there are some things that hold true.
One of the main ones is that you need to form communities and relationships before the Event

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
After letting them sit in my Watchlist for about a year, I completed the purchases of Powdered whole egg and Ghee. Picked up some silver under spot (and now almost have a date run of half-silver shillings) Did a load of overtime and swapped my sacrificial account for another bankbribe, which will go...

Re: Attention Sparkies: Leisure battery issue
Oh I know the old battery is fked... I believe thats the correct technical term? Hot as in "can't hold it"* not hot as in melting I'll dig out the meter..... As long as the charge output stays under 14.7 alls good with the system? * I trained as a blacksmith and welder, my idea of to hot t...

Attention Sparkies: Leisure battery issue
Short version of the story: I had the camper plugged into the mains to run a dehumidifier. Later I could hear an alarm and tracked it down to the CO detector in the camper, there was a strong smell also. I found out the leisure battery was hot and I'm assuming outgassing. Disconnected it and put it ...

Re: survival food
Could you survive on beans, protein and vitamins? Yes Should you plan to? Yes and No So, I'll start by saying that having a stash of anything like food is better then not...... A little research on here and a bit of planning would make it a much more pleasant experience. You don't say if your protei...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
With the price of gas going up due to the conflict, I'm expecting both domestic gas and electricity prices to go up. Are you just on the Standard Variable ? I got a cheap fix a couple of weeks back, I'm expecting the price cap to go up now wholesale gas is going to cost more. But being fixed that i...

Re: Value Range foods compared
Can strongly recommend the Aldi "Cassario" dark spiced rum. Tastes great and costs a fraction of a designer label. Being the grandson of a true Yorkshireman ( more then a little tight). I think of myself a connoisseur of midrange dark rums. My current favourites being "Caribbean Pear...

Re: Value Range foods compared
It's interesting reading your reports. I feel we have a similar problem in that our family have different tastes. Photos now added to that post. Mr JJ says "You don't have to eat 5h1t" :) But it's like an adventure without leaving the house. That was possibly the healthiest meal I ate all...

Re: MRE 'Backup'
Might be in the early stages but MRE's could become a thing of the past eventually . Seems the US military is looking at 3D printed meals. I'm not even sure exactly what that means ... https://thedebrief.org/beyond-mres-the-u-s-army-is-testing-3d-printed-food-for-the-battlefield/ A pity that articl...
