Where do you get your cans from?

ukpreppergrrl Good to know about those jars. Always happens when I am short of readies.


Im hoping when the current "craft" craze is over people will be selling them cheaper

Hi guys,

sorry for the loooong abscence from here, but we had to put everything on hold due to a family member falling very ill.

All is back on track though i'm pleased to report.
We had a bit of a crisis finding a jar manufacturer who would accept low order quantities, but we found one willing to work with us hoping that through demand our orders will increase over time with them. Hopefully you can see our new jars here http://s1297.photobucket.com/user/m0tty ... 7.jpg.html

These will be regular mouth jars, but we will, if demand arises, look into developing a wide mouth type. All that is holding us up is waiting for the investment funds, we are a ways down the road and all the signs are encouraging, so that;s as much as i can tell you, oh yeah, the jars will come in 1L and 500ml to start with, the 250ml may come in on next re-stock if demand is expressed.

Hope this helps folks

All the best

daz

Thank you for the links m0tty. I have downloaded them. Hope you don't mind.
Just one problem: What is a mobi file? (Something that lets you have a whale of a time, perhaps? :P )

the .mobi files i have come across in the past have been ebooks. a free program called calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/ should read it for you and a lot of other ebook formats and PDF files. Becareful with it as all files can disguise a virus.

Thank you Hamradioop. I suppose it will be the wrong format for the kindle for windows app to read?

Calibre works for most ebook formats, it will aslo convert text files and pdf files to a suitable ebook format. This is how a lok of me prepping info is created on my KOBO Mini.

the kindle app may work a try but prepare to be disappointed. I Highly recommend Calibre it is free and you can make a donation to help if you wish.
