I am actually downsizing my stores and kit. Getting rid of all sorts of stuff at boot sales. This is to make it all more manageable. I do not need 3 generators for example.Bonkers!
Since my personal dramatic economic downturn, I have drifted toward a more self-sufficiency based philosophy. It is interesting that my land and livestock has made me a calmer person. The World News saddens me, but I do not get alarmed like I used to.

Clearing out junk to sell and raise some cash. Doing a load of 'tarting-up' my city-centre house ready to sell it (hopefully !).
Had my offer on a cottage in the country accepted, so I'll be able to grow more veggies and keep some chickens etc soon
Fresh water from a stream at the bottom of the garden and the roof is suitably aligned to invest in some PV panels at a later date if I can afford it. Also right next to a big wood for fuel access once I get solid-fuel range sorted out (subject to payment/ owner's permission ofc).
