Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 4

Trees are as rare as rocking horse poop here. Having said that, I do have some willow to put in soon having 'rooted' some cuttings. And I do hope to get some pine or spruce put in the garden to give some protection against the wind. I liked the dry-stone walled enclosures that Shetlanders grew crop...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 4

Still trying to get our cow-pasture lawn through its first cut. My son is trying out his hernia op to see if things will go wrong if he uses the mower...he has got half done with no problems and dire threats from his mumsy! I've been tackling the giant hogweed patch at the bottom of the garden ...st...

Re: decontamination in a shtf situation

Thanks Mark for the link. Some clear changes to old teaching. I did Provost training in my youth and contamination/decontamination was part of the NBC course. It was very primitive in those days. I can fully see how reducing the dust, spray etc. by removal of clothing early on and dry wiping will he...

Time I tackled some more lemon curd. We're nearly out of it and the home made stuff is better than the shop stuff.

Re: Future of healthcare.

Considering the alternatives at the time of the vote, she has been a surprisingly safe pair of hands. Perhaps more can be gained by ignoring the personalities in politics and simply trying to understand all the twists and turns in politics just now. It all feels very volatile and hardly worth any de...

Re: Future of healthcare.

Most people would think I had prepped quite enough on that subject...but there are always more questions to be asked and more problems to find answers for. I certainly don't feel like an expert ( but then X=unknown quantity and Spurt= drip under pressure!)

Re: Future of healthcare.

I know I just brought the problems of the Cinderella of the system into play....no-one ever knows what to to do with the difficulties of mental health.

Re: Future of healthcare.

I'm going to attempt a home nursing answer here based on personal and family experience. I nursed my first husband through to his final year of Huntington's Disease and these are just some of the problems I met. Firstly, many psychiatric illnesses are now helped with medication very successfully but...

Re: How Likely is it?

Maybe you need a stronger network of local friends and neighbours. This might be worth working on in the good weather.
