Re: How long can you sustain your family on your stored food? And tips how to rotate
I despise that phrase 'you can live weeks without food'. It is normally called dying of starvation. One of the worst ways to die. Slow and agonising. Our normal stocks last min 6 months.

Re: New smoke emissions laws for wood burners...
Just how would this new law be enforced, ie come in your home and inspect your wood stores or some sort of monitoring device that's held over your chimney. Whatever it is I'm sure it will lead to lots of agro. Won’t be allowed on my property,that’s for sure. Unfortunately, plenty of people willing ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9
Come to think of it, I think I'll start delaying ordering a bit each time they email/text. I don't need a bigger safety net than what I have.
