Re: Shed Security
I have in the past been a victim of the light fingered scrotes . My workshop is sturdily built with two padlocks and a mortice lock on the door . The hinges have bolts rather than just screws and there are shutters on the windows and in addition there is cctv . It might depend on what you are trying...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
At the other end of that I'm putting in an increase of price with so.e of my customers. So far I'm finding they are all going along with the rises many of which haven't risen for a few years.

Re: Prepping - Strength in Numbers / Community
That goes along with the figures I've read. Using that 150 figure and taking the population as 67 million gives us 446,667 groups or thereabouts which seems like a huge number of possible friction points. And I suppose there must be a contra argument that these 67 million are at least working togeth...

Re: Fuel jerry can outdoor storage
I'm looking to get an outdoor storage solution for a Wavian UN approved 20L fuel (diesel/petrol) jerry can which I should store outdoors. So far a McGuiver approach is to keep the jerry can in a large wheelie bin (which would be insulated) outside. I do not want to store it indoors even in the gara...

Re: Prepping - Strength in Numbers / Community
I can't help thinking that the word community has different meanings to different people. I'm sure some of it is fueled by the Hollywood fantasy of a fortified town patrolled by crossbow wielding guards in a scenario where there has been a huge die off but millions of decomposing bodies are largely ...

Re: Value Range foods compared
Can't say I'm put off by the photos , I'd be more than happy to come to dinner. The only real difference between yours and my effort is that I end to mix it all up together. I suppose it's what I'd generally term "lobby" in that there's no set recipe as such , just whatever happens to be a...

Re: Value Range foods compared
It's interesting reading your reports. I feel we have a similar problem in that our family have different tastes. I'm pretty easy to please and will eat pretty much anything , the only real exception is coffee or anything with coffee in it. There are a few things like raw celery I steer clear of alt...

Re: MRE 'Backup'
Yes I know what you mean ,pictures would have been nice. To me it seems a strange idea , I assume that food must be dehydrated and powdered and then reformed close to where it would be eaten and presumably the fat , protein and carbs percentages are tailored to precise needs but it still seems the s...

Re: MRE 'Backup'
Might be in the early stages but MRE's could become a thing of the past eventually . Seems the US military is looking at 3D printed meals. I'm not even sure exactly what that means ...
