Re: Pallet Wood quality Question
Just to add pallet wood can be described as varied. There can be some that are little more than glorified firewood but then on the other hand I've had some that were a mix of hardwoods and useable for small pieces of furniture . Using the stuff can be fine. I've got a shed or rather woodstore that i...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10
To be honest I don't know. When I used the old flour I tried bread simply because if it came out inedible I wouldn't have wasted anything else like butter , eggs or sugar. There have been another couple of occasions of old flour. One was when I was clearing my parent's house. There was a bag of flou...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10
We had some tesco flour from 2020 that we've just used for (ahem) croissants of all things. It was kept in its original packaging in a closed plastic tub in the garden shed. Hadn't clumped like yours though. In a sort of prepping oneupmanship shortly after getting married in 2000 I went through the...

Re: boot laces
The problem I tend to have with laces is that the other sheath tends to come seperated from the inner core. Can be "solved" to a degree by melting the ends or even just tying a knot in them but it is irritating.

Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist
UHNWIs are the best preppers, so I try to improve my financial situation and build a glass floor for my child I had to look that one up as I didn't know the acronym but I have to say you're right even if the concept is a little uncomfortable. Correct also to say improving your financial situation i...

Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist
Pragmatism I've sometimes described myself as a pragmatic communist and equally I'd describe myself as a pragmatic prepper. What that means is that in reality the prepper-lite tag is the one that fits better. A lot of the survivalist stuff is in my view at the very best pure hollywood fueled fantasy...

Re: Disproportionate storage
That strategy reminds me of my mother's practices. She would "pay" the same amounts when she didn't need to although the paying meant putting that money aside. For instance before they brought the house it was council owned and there were a number of rent free weeks per year. Mom would sti...

Re: Using old Diesel
This subject has come up on other forums. From what I understand this licence to store 30-275L does come with conditions other than just providing name and address. There seems to be requirements for distances to adjacent buildings and water courses and it seems somewhat difficult to obtain a licenc...
