Hello from Dorset, long time preparing but stayed off the radar and not let anyone know what I was doing, until now. Hopefully here to update my knowledage and share some of what I have gleaned over the last 40 years. :) Hi DG, Welcome from Cheshire. I think it's safe to tell us :) What are you doi...

cheaper than a max-min thermometer

great idea. Thanks.
I have digital min Max thermometer but it's useless as the max will show the room temp it went in at. Also the batteries fail to power it at such low temp.

Yeah, I’ve had that happen too! It’s a bummer when the weather gets too cold for the garage freezer to work properly. It’s good to know it's not broken, just the cold messing with it. A quick fix could be heating the garage, but I agree, that can get pricey. Laugh at my expense. A few years ago, I ...

I had no idea this was a thing! There was a second ‘spare’ fridge/freezer in our cellar when we moved in which we used (particularly each Christmas) but then it seemed to stop working so we bit the bullet last year and got rid of it … after reading this thread, I suspect it wasn’t functioning corre...

Bumping this thread as a timely warning / reminder. If you have a combined fridge freezer outside in a cold garage or shed, it will possibly stop working any day now. Combo Fridge Freezers typically stop working alltogether when room temperature is about 0C https://www.uk-preppers.co.uk/forum/viewto...

Never considered it. Car post nuclear will be logjammed within a day. drive to a shop or foodbank, maybe commandeer it and bug in there would be in my mind.

Hello all. I am new on this forum . the first rule of prepping is DO NOT TELL ANYONE YOU ARE A PREPPER.lol :) Nice to be here. I am hoping I can learn some things and contribute as well. JB Hi, and welcome from Cheshire. Yup. We plod on, quietly making ourselves just that little bit more resilient,...

Could you imagine the UK government making that happen? What I've seen of UK Government Preparedness websites looked like some project given to an intern or work experience participant. I can't see UK Gov being so upfront about our risks. I think we need some sorts of voluntary civic service scheme...

So what suggestions do you have for a 4 adult household for drinking water? We don't have much storage space so stored water is likely to go into a variable temperature shed and a regular refill task will be hard work with our current health. I'd suggest shop bought 5L or 2L bottles and forget abou...
