Re: What Preps are you doing this week

The big garage clear-out is well under way. Floor part painted and BIG DUG heavy duty shelves up. Had to move the shelves from the original position, because the metal beams got in the way, but it's actually better. The shelves are HUGE :). Preparing all the filled to the brim buckets to go out to t...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week

Good idea Nick! My gas is on a card system that I load up each month, can't cope with a big bill coming in. Advantage is you notice how much you are using and turn down the thermostat and tend to remember not to leave the water on when its not needed! My shopping arrived and I went a tad OTT with s...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week

I like tinned fish as apart from having a half decent shelf life, it contains omega 3 fatty acids which some say can reduce depression (useful if it does work in a SHTF situation), keeps your joints moving and has links to improving brain function.

Having just spent over £500 on shelving and various items, I'm not rushing into suggesting it just yet :). Doing a lot of work around the house and garden and a lot of garden...
