What preps are you doing this week? part 2.

[GoAskAlice]

Picking up some essential literature. Plotting out budgets for the next couple of months and what I would like to buy.

Has anyone seen these? Just as an extra, extra back up should the lights fail?

Lighters, matches, water safety tablets are all on the list.

Longer term, smaller solar chargers and batteries, plus a decent sleeping bag, mat and liner.

Did a bit of shed camping over the weekend please to say that my old sleeping bag was nice and toasty so that's a tick on the plus side as I had no idea if it was a four seasons one or not, all other preps worked one only needs tweaking. Shed camping beats tent camping every time

It depends on what you want to save. Money? Yes. But space? No. These tealights has a 6 hours burn time, while the IKEA ones has only 4. http://shop.liljeholmens.se/sv/varmelju ... 6-tim.html

I would go with the expensive ones for my stash, and the cheap ones for the every day "mood lights".

If you do your maths you get 400 hrs from IKEA and only 300 hrs from yours.

I was speaking about volym. 300 ikea tea lights and 200 from Liljeholmens has the exact same burn time, but guess wich of those that takes up less storage space?
So it wasn't my mathematic skill that were off.

My canner arrives tomorrow hurrah!!! I shall be a busy bee canning up my home made chicken stock that is currently taking up a whole drawer in my freezer then on to other goodies as they come along.

Had to pay £14.20 import VAT which was fine but the real annoyance was £8.00 clearance fee charged by parcel force, they pay your customs duties and taxes for you and then charge the £8 for doing it!!!! Rip off is an understatement I feel.
