Re: tested my food preps,
Well done.Yours is a situation we can all be in. And probably the best reason for anyone to prep. We have been there(albeit for a shorter time than yourself) and a close family member too, and those food preps were invaluable. It just takes the pressure off a crap situation. Let's be honest, when your income stops you are in a real-life survival situation aren't you ?bettersafethansorry wrote:Ben off for a while got made redundant with 0 settlement 2 months ago and its really tested us. if it haddent been for my preps we'd have come close to starving the way things have been.
Thankfully things are now starting to pick back up and im now self employed and business is picking up well. so nows the time to restock the preps and get back to readynessi think after food restock then lighting and fuel is on the agenda.
anyway thought id say hi and im back!!
I like your idea about building up money preps too. Great idea. I had a serious accident some years ago when the family was young. My Wife did not work then, and the money stopped for two months. We coped, but I vowed we would not be that vulnerable again.
The very best of luck to you as you rebuild your preps.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

The 'purple milk' (meths) bottle started life as an enema bottle (never used for the purpose), the long spout is ideal for pouring meths when priming stoves or lanterns.poppypiesdad wrote:Yip but purple milk

Back OT:
Bettersafe: This is why I prep, the Zompocalypse is not likely to happen but turning up at work and finding the gates chained shut is very possible.
You had/have a safety-net, I pity the other poor buggers for whom TSHTF

Can I ask what meals you created from your preps, I've got a niggling worry that although I've got pleanty of the basics when it comes to making a meal I may be missing something obvious.
Lots of tinned meals, the batcholers dried pasta dishes and lots of rice style meals including doing my own special fried rice that came out lovely.

Re: tested my food preps,
It was a nice safety net and the fact it has changed the way the mrs also thinks of food stocking was a really nice addition
