I with ya! First of all I have lots of grub. Then water storage and more importantly,water catchment and replenishment. I have 500 gallon waterbutt capacity spread round various outbuildings. Then the livestock,rabbits and soon some more laying fowls. I pit in a woodstove 10 yrs. ago- good move that. Security lights,strong security doors and windows-also thermally efficient.preppingsu wrote:Lovely as that is I have to look at what I have now and how I can make it work for me. There is very little point in me dreaming as I know its not going to put that extra food away or dig the garden.
As Janson said in a previous thread we are in the middle of a slow motion car crash and I am no where near being ready for the fallout!
So what can I do to make my home 'prepper ready'? I will continue to add to my food and water stocks, finish my projects (clay oven) etc, and learn as much as I can. I will consider home security and winter proofing.
So instead of dreaming, what will you do????????????
Rambling now...I reckon if you were to keep food in,water,and have a way to keep warm if the power goes off,you are pretty well fixed. You don't ,or perhaps can't,have an open fire or stove. So how about a "Super Ser" style gas heater. You can set one of these up for about a hundred quid. The gas lasts for ages,and when funds allow a spare bottle can be laid in.
A water butt holds 50 gallons,and you can get one for thirty quid. The old mantra is a gallon a day per person-a good ten days for a family of four. Some Tesco thin bleach(29p) and it can be disinfected.
All that tin food needs warming up,cheap campstove will do the job. £1 buys a can opener-you do have a spare? Wind up or battery radio to get info-very important. Torch and wind up lantern/candles-last choice dor fire safety reasons. Spare batteries-poundland,and lighters too.
Warm and waterproof clothes,basic toolkit(again ,poundland have some durable kit)
It doesn't have to cost a mint. And here's a challenge-I bet most have a lot of this kit,or something to adapt, lying around. Ramble over.
