Re: NRG-5 rations or freeze dried rations?
As others have said these freeze dried foods have their place, I’m thinking of getting some of the MREs that are about 800 calories each to chuck in my edc rucksack and back of the car for emergencies, having to abandon my car with the snow in Ambleside and Windermere last weekend showed me how fast...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10
Continuing to increase food stocks, dried mixed veg packs and tins, freezers are both pretty full, can anyone recommend any suppliers of dried veg packs?
Now the nights are starting to draw in, looking at emergency lights, candles and torches etc.
