What Preps are you doing this week

[martynbez]

New bag this week so will be moving my gear into that and seeing if anything is missing.

My soy milk making machine (cheap off ebay like everything else!) arrived today and I have put it through its paces with a dose of rice milk and it worked nicely.

So I have ordered a 5Kg bag of soy beans which should keep me in tofu (fake meat) through most of the autumn and a large chunk of the winter.

So this will keep me going in terms of CHEAP warming drinks (soya and / or rice and / or almond milk sweetened and with cinnamon added and maybe a bit of rum essence, to make some excellent warm spicy smoothie type invention....) and some solid food (Ah! Tofu!) for a while to come. On top of that the nice man who sold it to me included enough tofu coagulant to make loads and loads of tofu! How thoughtful!

Hate to be a killjoy, but why is so much ex-army stuff available to the civilian population? It always sound to me as if a lot of expensive, tax-payer property is just being given away. I, personally, have never seen anything like this at a Scottish car boot sale. Usually books, DVDs, cast-off clothes and tat, which is why I don't waste my time. Go further south and it sounds as if you could get just about anything at a car boot. Yes, I am jealous - I'm heavily into recycling and upcycling even though I can buy anything I need new (keeps my conscience a bit clearer), but want to see our resources used properly.

No preps. Nursing my injuries, laid up on the sofa. Frustrated as the woodpile is unsplit and nurofen store is running low and I'm frustrated I can't do anything. Sigh.

It happens. Take it easy, get well soon, drink tea, keep calm.

usually because its either obsolete (changing over to the new MPT colour scheme for example) or been issued and the squaddie has left / dropped out of basic training once a hydration pack is issued and used the army probably see it as unhygienic to re issue it coupled with the hassle of trying to clean dry and store them once used ......


as for my preps... nothing dramatic another pack of 36 AA alkaline batteries, some jayes fluid and a few other bits and bats

He wanted £8 ,I offered a fiver.

good buy, just make sure you clean it out and keep it dry and clean when not being used.
