But what did you learn from the experience and how will you put that into your preps?

That I should never pitch my tent in a dip, and that I should never forget my coat!
How I'm applying it to my preps, hammock and tarp that way I'll be off the ground

I tried a hammock once, didn't work too well as there were no trees

Good stuff
Is that the iconic Ikea firepot I see there?
Currently saving for a tarp & hammock I get a chronic back ache in my tent sometimes.

Waaaaaah! Decided to rejig my preps and have realised how low on stocks I really am. So my preps this week and for the next few weeks will be to build up food stocks again. At the moment I have a 6ft 4" lodger and he boy can he eat!
On the plus side, I have cleared the equivalent of four extra shelves' worth of space. I think I am going to have a go at making some of these as I have an Approved Foods order being delivered soon so will have lots of sturdy cardboard:

Bought some 10 packs of disposable #10 and #11 scalpels and a selection of medical grade stainless steel tweezers for my first aid kit.
