What preps are you doing this week? Part 3.

Testing out camping gear this week.

Played about with rotating the image but couldn't get it to work

I stumbled across two nice possible sites for wild camping the other day, ones been used before there was a fire place left behind, it's also fairly near water but a bit of a pain to get to (some well dodgy paths) the other if a real cracker, well hidden by trees all around, about 300 foot up on one side (so your not going to get visiters from that side in a hurry, thats the side I climbed when I found it, and it was a pig of a climb) the other side is screened by a high bank and more trees but it's a long way from any obvious paths, I made my way through the trees and ferns back to the main path a few hundred yards off. Only drawback if you want water it's a climb down and a climb back up (not going to happen it's a killer)

Not really a prep but the missus got us a nice hand made firepit, not a big one, made from a car wheel, hopefully going camping for the lat time this coming week, gonna try it out.

This is creeping up my 'to do' list, Her Maj seems to have taken to Cree torch for walking the dogs of an evening (despite mocking me for buying some ) so I'll be making sure the 18650's are at the top of the band. I prefer the smaller ones that take a 14500 and I usually have plenty ready to go but no harm in getting them all ready as the 'nights are drawing in'. Depressing eh ?

I've been a bit lazy and I could do with both a muster of my stores and a general reorganisation. I'm not one for spreadsheets and the like but I could do with a count of my food stores, I've probably got more than I realise so it would be good to calculate it.

Apart from that, just a bit more dehydrating and buying of more victuals as I go, building up a decent amount of olive oil as well as sunflower oil, also our local Aldi (maybe all of them) were flogging off cheap jam making sugar so topped up on some more, think it was reduced from £1.65 to 65p. Also got a load of chillies from Asda that were reduced to 25p a packet, destined for the dehydrator.

Topped up first aid/trauma kit with 2 x tourniquets, wound dressings and clotting gauze. Next job is to find a (GOOD) folding shovel... Suggestions welcome!

This weekend has been a big gardening session weeds at the back on the rail embankment have been savaged with the bush cutter Christ the nettles were savage straight through the combat trousers the stingy little bleeders

Managed to Kill a brand new petrol hedge cutter within 2 hours so had the Joy of returning that today and opted for a better machine. dont try and tell a former Stihl service centre worker he doesn't know what he's doing .... yes extra money but when you see the hire cost of one £40 for the weekend it will soon pay for itself

Better than most folding items and at only 27 " not going to take up much space
