Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
Phew, a prep that was almost too late! Backups found wanting. The laptop died with the failure of it's 'v' key which locked down. I.e., laptop quite useless. Now the amount of stuff I could have lost access to is enormous. Gazillion passwords to all sorts of finance and business related stuff. I pul...

Re: Value Range foods compared
I notice that Aldi and Lidl baked beans came out jointly top in a Which magazine blind taste test over all other brands including Heinz, Branston etc. Saw that, too.

Re: What are you dehydrating?
Today, for the first time, dehydrating pineapple. At certain times of the year pineapples aren't nearly as good..... Not sure how to work out when though My fave AI said the best time for them in the UK is Dec till March, but when I asked without mentioning UK, it said March till July. I suppose co...

Re: What are you dehydrating?
Today, for the first time, dehydrating pineapple. It seems that it will only dry to 'chewy leather state. Dehydration complete, they are quite hard bits. Currently rehydrating a few bits to see how well it goes. Chewed a few bits to see how it tasted. Not too flavoursome. Even before dehydrating, i...

Re: Fellow Stackers of PMs
Time to sell with all time highs and wait for the crash or like me just hold onto them? Have they achieved what you set out to achieve? Locked in some value as an investment? or was it to have a currency for post SHTF. Can't have done the latter yet and if that was your objective, you never sell wh...

Has anyone used dehydrated/rehydrated pineapple in sweet & sour sauce? That's my hope.

Straw Poll. How much food do you have in reserve?
Having a food reserve is key to MY prepping angle, but apparently opinions vary. So, how long could you feed yourself and your at-home family if all the shops closed at midnight. By 'Feed yourself' I mean with a reasonable and acceptable diet, rather than bare survival on gruel. 3 Days? 7 Days? A mo...

Re: Advice on how to get organised
Something to think about. My current system involves literally throwing tins I've just bought to the back of the cupboard, the hard to reach bit on the far left. This is partly due to my back being wrecked. Maybe use a Litter Picker, about £3 from the likes of B&M https://www.gardenersdream.co....

Re: Advice on how to get organised
If tins are only one layer, why use containers at all? One layer of 32 tins. I can then stack more cases of different stuff on top, to get max tins into the spacial volume and to allow me to work through them. I have some older boxes that take two layers, and extracting the old tins and replacing w...
