What Preps are you doing this week

[nickdutch]

After having had a new kitchen installed (thank you mum and dad!) I am now getting the kitchen put back in shape, finding new homes for things, moving things around (I have a whole draw for canning equipment now!).

Its in situations like this that I can see how well I have done.

If you carry on buying lots of little things once in a while it really does mount up over the course of a year even if whilst you are getting it all together you dip into it once in a while to keep yourself going.

For most (but not all) short term issues I am probably well sorted for bugging in type things.

Bugging out so to speak, will require more equipment.

I am telling my parents that, once I have got fitter, I want to get into orienteering as an excuse to not only get involved in orienteering, but also to spend more of my hard worked for money on more outdoors type gear, navigation equipment and general toys in the new year.

So that will help me with the next stage.

I'm so happy! We FINALLY ordered the woodburning stove today.....

Our risk of freezing through another power cut has been reduced on a whacking great scale and I am HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY ! The thought of a rerun of the last time (3 days of sleeping 3 to a bed to keep warm with hot water bottles heated on the emergency gas stove while wearing hats because it was minus 14 and our heads were freezing sticking out the top of the covers.....).

Just pray the central heating holds out for another three weeks!!!!

Which stove did you get ?

Well - you ask a good question! After months of research I don't have a clue as to which one I actually bought in the end! I DO know that it's cast and made in the UK, it's a 7.3kw multifuel and it's defra approved - so it ticks all our boxes for this point in time (and it's the highest spec we could afford).

'only a couple of weeks until it's in!!! Stacking wood all over the place !

it was raining yesterday so went to the woods for more practice at plant and mushroom identification, was so wet i could not find any standing dead wood good enough to even consider starting a fire.
decided that i was surounded by food but still dont have the skills to risk eating it.
found this web site http://www.countrylovers.co.uk/wfs/wfsberries.htm
and am using rogers mushroom site as well.
will have to pack more snare wire as i might end up a carnivor if shft

I just bought a lot of canned food and basic first aid stuff. i have a six large plastic storage containers and four were empty so i put all the stuff on the floor and re sorted everything that i have bought for prepping. I left a load of canned food in a kitchen press but the new canned food i put into two of the plastic storage boxes with tea bags, bags of pasta and pasta sauce and one can opener and i put these under the guestroom bed. In a other storage box i put all my glass jars, matches and tea lights. i put all my first aid in one of the storage boxes and put in my linen closest. Other box i put in basic prepping stuff: torches, batteries, fire starter tool, collapsible water container, multitool, water purification tablets. Then i went into my walk in wardrobe and in one of the shelves i put all the shampoo, body wash, soaps, body lotions, cotton buds and organised them in order of type looks lovely but not much there.

So i found out is i need more candles, matches, lighters, water purification tablets, canned fruit and dried fruit, batteries, torches of different types, more first aid items, medicine, shampoo, body wash and soap. Also i need to get rucksacks x 2 and build my bug out bag.
