Winter prep..
What are you prepping for winter? Anything new or different or are you winter prepped already?
Re: Winter prep..
For myself, I'll probably stock up on some more gas canisters for the briefcase stoves, I could probably do with another small solar panel or two, the weather where I am ain't always the best in winter so I'm not likely to make much for recharging of batteries/devices. I'm unlikely to get the extra panels as I'm saving for a non prepping treat (a football trip) so its a juggling act. The cheap canisters at B&M that someone flagged up will be a definite purchase though. If I can swing it, I'll get at least one of the heaters that those canisters fit too, not so much for myself but Her Maj feels the cold.ParamedicPrepper wrote:What are you prepping for winter?

Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Been collecting kindling and putting it in store and started to raid skips for spare wood. Although we've got some logs from last winter still to chop up. Made up a timber frame to do another raised bed for next years planting. Made some blackberry jams and cordials and put in pantry Yum!

Be Prepared.

Re: Winter prep..
All in order here for winter except for the wood store needs a tidy. Might actually put that to bed for this winter as I've hardly touched it the last 3 as they've been so mild........

Re: Winter prep..
Can't buy any more preps as the baby will be here soon and my misses has taken control of my finances
All I'll be doing is moving the CS special forces shovel into the boot incase of heavy snow,putting a couple of extra Kendall mint cake bars in the glove box and digging out winter clothes. That's about it

Re: Winter prep..
All good suggestions, I am fortunately quite well stocked already. I thought ahead and went on a spending spree before she could get her hands on my cards
I've been toying with the idea of winter tyres but I think in the south east snow chains are uncalled for... The coldest its been down here recently is minus 11 with wind chill.
My preps have changed from guns, knives and tinned food to nappies, etc just lately haha
