12 bars of soap
Seriously?
We're obviously worse soap dodgers than I thought,since I doubt we'd use that in 2 years.

If you take out liquid soap, body wash, and every other method of washing and are left with just bars of soap then that's only a bar every 2 months, much more do-able if you think how many times you wash your hands alone each day.

Err, while we're here.

Yeast

Umm, does anyone actually store yeast and strong flour (unless you have a lovely bread oven in the garden! )?

If so, has anyone had cause to make the bread 'for real' eg blackout and do you really think it's s good long term store. Personally I'm a big fan of the flat bread option...........

I store yeast, ready made bread mixes you just add the liquid to and plain flour. Not used in non normal circumstances yet but have seen it made in a skillet on a wood oven and inside a metal dustbin with an oven rack for a shelf so it can be done.

Ooooo, another useful bit of info to store away in my head for future use.......maybe we'll give a trial in the new year. Thanks for this. I was thinking that in times of financial hardship it's probably more expensive to bake bread than to buy it and in the case of utility loss, how would you bake?

I always keep some medicated soap in the stash in case of skin abrasions etc
Also, the body self cleanses after 6 weeks, so if you are planning for a total breakdown of society, you won't need soap/shampoo etc long term. If however, like me, you stash for financial hardship/getting cut off - gerritt in lad!
