I will read that link Andy thanks. In our normal daily routine, I’m not too worried about carbon monoxide buildup. Our oil boiler is in a seperate part of the house, and where our fire is it’s quite an open area with living room, dining room and kitchen all open plan. Plenty of air moving around. Th...

Have started the process of sorting and packing our preps, in preparation of a possible move this year. Also added 2 silver Britannia’s to my collection. Am going to make that a regular monthly purchase from now on. Bought some more candles and lamp oil in case of power cuts (none so far but it’s S...

Happy New Year to you This week I aim to go through all my stored food and sort it out. Use what needs using and identify any gaps. I’ve been keeping some small but strong boxes and plan to put together some food packs we can grab just in case. Smaller boxes for 24-48 hours, that will store well in ...

This week I have been chopping more wood, and bringing in more peat for the fire. Forecast is for snow next week and we either get very little, or shed loads. Spare clothes and blankets in the car in case I get stuck somewhere. I work night shifts now, so not many ppl out n about when I go to or fro...

I'd say we have about 3 months of food on hand. a lot of meat sits in our 2 large chest freezers. If there was a long term loss of power this would be eaten first, but we could keep the freezers frozen with our small generator for 2-3 weeks with fuel we have on hand. If we still had power the meat (...

I do hunt rabbits on a semi regular basis.
Loads of them here, and many crofters are happy to give permission to shoot on their land.
I hope to hunt geese as well, but will need to get a shotgun or larger calibre rifle added to my fac for that.

I suppose I have used my preps 'for real' twice. First was, like at lot of people, during the pandemic\lockdown. My wife and I both kept working during the whole thing, and things didn't really change for us except we vastly reduced our shopping trips, and we tried to eliminate any unnecessary conta...

My main prep this week has been putting a massive tarp over the wood and peat stack. Our recent powercut caught me out big time as a lot of the peat was still a little damp. Digging into to middle for dry stuff during a blizzard was not an experience I wish to repeat. Tomorrow I will move about 2 we...

Britcit, that's really interesting, thank you for taking the time. How about water? Did it keep flowing? I'm assuming it did, or you would have mentioned it, but I'm just wondering :) And did the chickens cope? They seem to have strayed quite a lot :lol: The water kept flowing yes. I did keep an ey...
