Re: How much is ‘enough’?

Just remember Jenny most modernish central heating systems are filled with fernox or an equivalent corrosion inhibitors. which you dont want to be drinking not overly toxic but not good either So, I can't just run it through my tights? I saw the horrid gunk that came from our leaking radiator. Woul...

Re: How much is ‘enough’?

So, here goes … water - how much should I store etc? I have currently got 4 x 25l and 20 x 5l drinkable water stored - so 200 litres. I have 500 litres in various water butts with rain harvested water. I’ve got water purification tablets or could boil water. The problem with domestic water is that ...

Re: Nuclear War

You can’t prep for it. Too small an island, too many targets and would you really want to survive it? It’s been talked about before on here and the universal pov is to crack open the decent whisky and watch the missile come in as there’s not much you can do. Do we Prep for it? Do you? Can we? Can't...

Re: Just saying ‘hi’.

Hello 👋 I’m new here so just following the rules and saying hello. I’m based in the North West (rural location) and began building a little ‘stockpile’ before Brexit as I was worried about my red wine, olive oil and Nutella supplies! This little ‘collection’ then developed during Covid and the rest...

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

One of the thing I stock is salt.Not so good for the blood pressure but very useful if you want to salvage the contents of your fridge or freezer by old fashioned preserving in salt or brine. I may run into trouble if it is high summer but the rest of the year it should let me keep a lot. The Curin...

Re: Value Range foods compared

Snip> OK. I know it's a matter of taste and we should expect to have to pluck out some spine bones, but this was like a junior fisherman's surgery kit. You obviously never played "Operation, the mad Doctors Game from MB Games" LOL. I did indeed think of that game. I took it out of the tin...

Re: Value Range foods compared

Just a heads up on some current lidl bargains. Probably only for Lidl Plus app users. Noted today that they have three varieties of 213g Nixe Tinned Wild Salmon reduced from £1.99 to £0.99 a can OMG. Grossest product since Chappie dog food! I just opened a tin of the Lidl's Nixe 'Wild Pink Salmon w...

Re: Stored Milk gone wrong...

Dried yeast now lives in the fridge and even then only has 18 months shelf life. If SHTF I think the best bet will be a continuous sourdough starter. Ditto for yoghurt starters. I keep mine two years if it's in sachets. I buy separate beer and wine yeast as that expires before the cans or syrups th...

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

Reviewing and replacing some foods that havent been stored or rotated well. Milk, Yeast, Pulses, Oats, Flour are all in need of examination. Sadly some will be discarded. I know :oops: :roll: I'm rather chuffed at my latest charity shop find. a 100m+ industrial roll of vacuum seal bags for £4. I'll ...
