With you on grain situation diamond lil food for thought if you'll pardon the pun, quite shocking how prices are going up on non food items too. Personally trying to go back older ways of cooking from scratch and repairing clothes etc

My local Tesco has 20 per cent discount on ethnic foods (runs until 10th August apparently) so will be stocking up on rice, lentils, dried herbs/spices etc. Need to go through canned food and use any coming up to their use/best before dates not as exciting as some folk but keeps me busy

Interesting read certainly busy making own linen then turning it into clothing. Got chatting to customer at work who buys fleece does whole process of dyeing/spinning etc into yarn by hand than knitting into various items from gloves and scarfs to jumpers fascinating stuff

Like yourself became interested in prepping during the pandemic and started slowly building up stock of loo rolls, tinned foods etc I've found folk here friendly bunch so don't be afraid to ask anything someone will know the answer

Gillybees hand warmers sound like good idea what sort of rice do you use to be able to put them in the microwave?

Enjoy bit of knitting, does anyone get those crochet 'postbox toppers' appear where they live? Stupid question what's a WIP? It's probably obvious

Healthy eating is always good idea, got sciatica myself and found yoga helps although with any new excersise regime especially with physical health problems probably best to proceed with caution and get proper medical advice before embarking on anything too strenuous, anyway welcome to the the forum...

With prospect of power cuts/black out on the cards this winter been looking into windup radios/torches, does anyone know if they're any good? Seem to be few on the market at varying prices and wondering they're worth buying

I'm new to this site myself and covid was trigger to get into prepping myself, folk here are friendly so don't be afraid to ask anything there's always someone who'll know answer to any questions and welcome aboard

Great tips, didn't realise about waterproof/breathable ratings (every days a school day) and layers definitely work for keeping warm maybe because I'm a cheapskate and refuse to put heating on until it's stupidly cold
