What preps are you doing this week? part 2.

[Deeps]

"This week" might be stretching it but since Xmas I've been a lucky boy, I got an Amazon 'voucher' so invested in a Sawyer drinking straw, another gas stove (vango jobby), some 18650 batteries and a charger and a 'gucci' cree torch that blows all my other torches out the water and only cost a tenner. It just arrived today so I've been playing with it when the dogs got their night walk, basically I'm a small boy who gets excited about a new torch

Link for the torch

Can't believe I've had to edit this, the other part of me being a lucky boy was a mate giving me a brand new Coleman dual fuel cooker for free, when he left the Army a few of them fell into his rucksack and he passed one on to me which I was exceedingly grateful for.

They are great beware running it on unleaded as it gumms up the pipe that runs over the burner and its not overly healthy with all the additives in unleaded petrol to keep car engines happy ... if you do use unleaded i found about 4 fills of unleaded then a fill of coleman fuel kept it happy but all the pans get very sooty (with unleaded)

ok its £20 for 5ltrs but its the same stuff as coleman fuel and works out cheaper and burns cleaner http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coleman-39252-M ... B000JXPNR8

Thanks for the heads up mate, I've only run it on Colemans fuel so far and I've been warned not to use petrol in it. That is a good bit cheaper than the Colemans fuel, does it work just as well then with no problems ?

Had to replace the tap on my twin burner stove as it sprung a leak last year but think that was more down to years of use over anything else (had it since about 2005 immsmc can remember taking the fuel filter off my car one morning as i had run out of fuel and used the contents of the fuel filter to refill it


to be fair the real stuff is cheap at go outdoors

I'm a fan of Go Outdoors and I got my last (first/trial, call it what you like) bottle there. I've always been a fan of Trangia's but they can be a bit bulky. I'm looking forward to getting a good play with it when I get the chance. Defo need to hit the hills more this year.

Other than the usual food/water, I grabbed some more propane cylinders, just incase of power outage with the winds we're meant to get over the next few days.

This week got two piglets, both female, Gloucester old spot x Duroc hoping to have them 4 months then kill and butcher them myself

Today I bought an fully working antique oil lamp.
Beautiful and useful -lets call it 'prepper chic'....

Finally (and about time too!) ordered an escape ladder as per our fire/security plan.
This one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001 ... ge_o00_s00

Fitted front and back security lights.

Tomorrow, my handyman mate is coming round to help me plan a proper covered woodstore in the hope I might reclaim some of my backyard from the higgledy piles of logs!
While he's here, I'll ask him about beefing up some of the doors.
