Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

Prompted by Jenny's post ( Glad you are on the mend,) I have done a meds stock take. Being asthmatic, I am very aware of keeping my asthma pills and inhalers stocked up. I have, however, fallen a bit short in other med supplies as I had been working my way through a pre pandemic stock pile to stock ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10

Been cycling through the garage stock and found a plastic lidded tub filled with lots of vac sealed brown paper bags with plain flour in that I bought during the pandemic chaos of 2020. (One of those giants mill bags that the supermarkets got rid of cheap after lock downs which i spilt and re bagged...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10

Preps for me this week are my usual annual refocus on prepping! I've not swung the board for months so apart from loosing myself in various threads on here, I am making a job list of prep orientated stuff. Over the last few months, I have been working through and emptying over an under bed storage c...

Re: Storing, preparing and cooking.

In regards to replacing old equipment, that is a bit of a quandary. While as someone rightly said new stuff isn't built to last and also the initial outlay is a lot. However there is the whole supply chain to think off. If China does make a move on Taiwan then there goes a huge chunk of the semi con...

Re: Storing, preparing and cooking.

The storing of frozen food could be an issue if we end up with regular power cuts, so while it's got its place, I want to build up my dehydrated and vac sealed supllies.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9

We held the first of what will be a weekly family meeting to discuss winter preps/energy/supply issues etc. With 4 adults in the house I need eveyone onboard with saving energy and being sensible. It went better than expected. They are already on board with my prepping habits and have adopted a lot...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9

My preps this week have to make more room in the kitchen for food storage, to buy a bit extra this week - used the last of my olive oil stocks and almost fell off my perch when I bought some this week. I have made some soups to freeze but hedged my bets and bought more tinned soup too. My other main...
