Re: Straw Poll. How much food do you have in reserve? How well do you stock rotate?

Re: NEW MEMBER

Hi and welcome, like your attitude, it'll take you far. Endorse all the advice given so far. You know what resources you have at hand and how to use them but think wider than food. If the 40 refers to your age you're not an older man, just a youngster to many of us :lol:

Re: Why I Prep: Hope.... Not The Apocalypse!

Great post. Made me sit down and just THINK. I've had a few bumps in the road. Living in a caravan for most of a year, with no electricity water or sewage with OH and 3 young teens was interesting. We managed but doing all that laundry by hand was tough. I realise that on the practical side, I'm pre...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

potting up "baby" strawberries and giving them away. I reckon the more food that's being grown by people in general the better. Planning to pot up chives today and sowing seeds, if they they come and I have spare I'll pass the plants on. There's a local community sharing shed where you can...

Re: Value Range foods compared

Just been to tesco and the 5kg sugar has gone up from £3.75 a couple of weeks ago to £5 today. Needless to say I didn't buy any. It was just £3.25 a few months ago
