Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

Emergency fence repair yesterday. We live about 200yards from the coast, which is to the south of us. Garden goes East/West and we have a 6ft fence along the south side. When the wind blows, due to the way the houses are aligned they act as a funnel, so the fences get the brunt. It can be so strong...

Checked out AA/AAA battery stocks, we have some Varta, some Energizer, and just a few Duracell.

Varta and Energizer were fine, the Duracell well within date, were starting to corrode so got rid of them.

Will check the batteries in EDC and vehicle kit.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

I got a small thorn stuck in my hand. Could have got nasty. Had to dig it out with a needle. I was careful. The skin on the end of my thumb was quite thick, so it was ok. Didn't bleed. But you don't want stuff like that embedded. I steralised the needle with a lighter, and looked at the thorn with ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

The wood burner last night decided to dump a load of grit down the side of the flue that goes up the chimney. The woodburner is in the chimney breast but there is a board/plate across the top opening in the chimney. Think what has been happening is that over the years there has been a gradual accum...
