The reasoning behind O2 absorbers is to prevent spoilage by creating an anoxic enviroment (CO or nitrogen flooding works the same way) Baked Beans etc are canned/tinned/bottled, they are heated in a sealed container to Pasturisation temperatures. Are you re-packing bought tinned food or trying to p...

Well Terry, apart from toilet paper (I'm serious! There'll be a shortage of that WTSHTF, and it is quite a luxury, not to mention energy-intensive and resource sucking to manufacture) there are 'grains' (apart from the rice you have - only white rice keeps for a long time by the way, not brown rice,...

jansman, you getting rid of kit? Well, umm, what kind of kit? You looking to sell to me? This would be a good thinking if I had an ulterior motive and actually wanted to get some kit eh? Talk it down a tad, then offer to relive folks of theirs ;) But seriously, it's difficult to actually 'let go' of...

Hi Izzy, I do indeed wish you luck!

You can't ask me that! :o :o To a point YES I do. I simply believe that if someone is of proven good character, they should be able to own a firearm for this purpose. The difficulty comes in determining who can be trusted to own a lethal firearm without risk to the public. A squeeky clean criminal ...

Thanks Ferricks, and the same to you. Some months have since passed, but I hope you're still reacheable

All the best!

Hello Merms, Sorry you haven't had anyone comment/reply to your post yet. I guess it slipped by without anyone noticing ;) I'm sure it wasn't intentional. Congratulations first of all on the home education bit! I've been trying to tell my wife to get the girls out of mainstream school for some time ...
