Thanks all... well tonight is a large tin of Cassoulet (bought in a French supermarket when on holiday!) with a BBD of 2018. If I don't come back tomorrow, you'll know the botulism got me :lol: :lol: In all fairness though Cassoulet is a great prep... tin of beans, lentils, sausage and chicken all i...

Yes, all best before. Thank you! Now more than ever I don't want to waste food!! I've really upped the veg growing for this year. Grow every year but trying to do it on a much bigger scale this year. Also buying some different pastas / pulses and rice in bulk, so hopefully between the two will have ...

Just going through a few shelves that haven't been checked on in - ahem - quite a while! While I'm very used to using tins which are out of date by up to a few years depending on what they are etc... what is the received wisdom on glass jars and bottles? These are factory sealed jars - such as hot d...

Just a heads-up... I just got an email from The Prepper Shop. They are having a 48 hour flash sale of MRE main meals - all at £1.50. No affiliation - but I've just put an order in - so now mine is secure, I'll spread the word!!

I'm going foraging to the same place again this year - but I think I'll leave the acorns alone! I'll stick with blackberries, elderberries and rosehips... I think a Vit C tonic will be much called for this year instead of acorn coffee! I never made the beach nut butter - but I might even revisit tha...

I made some acorn coffee and posted a thread about it in 2015 - I'd just been on a foraging course with Ffyona Campbell (she who walked around the world in the 80s!) It was a HUGELY time consuming process. The result looked like coffee but had it's own very distinctive taste. It's not something I ev...

Just got my Mogul Gravity Water filter set up and sorted and run a couple of lots of water through it... tasted my first glass this morning and it seems to be working a treat! Water has always concerned me as very few people have space to keep enough of it - and while I have purifying tabs / ways to...

I'm taking a muti-strand approach! I have no idea what to expect at the moment so using the old adage of prepare for the worst... hope for the best. It has the POTENTIAL to perhaps be the biggest thing we need to prep for in recent times... POTENTIAL. So, I'm very lucky in that my house is old and h...

A couple of years ago I ordered some jerky / long life meat snacks etc from the USA for my preps... I really wouldn't bother again. My order was only worth £15 as I was intending keeping it under the threshold for Customs taxes & VAT. With the exchange rate, it worked out at a few pence over the...

I recently saw an online video of tick removal using peppermint essential oil. Ticks hate it - put a couple of drops on the tick and within 30 seconds the tick crawls out!!

Anyone seen or tried this method?
