Re: Hello from a prepping nubie

Hi and welcome. I must admit I found the "how to open a can of beans with a shotgun" remark quite funny.

Re: For Storm Barney......

My other half and I commute by car together as our places of work are a couple of miles away from each other. Barney is due to hit us during this evening's rush hour so we are both leaving work about 15 minutes early so we can get ahead of the majority of traffic, as the storm will more than likely ...

Re: Breakfast omelets

I love a hearty breakfast but often don't get the time to prepare it, so I will definitely give this a go. Thanks for the recipe.

Re: Best Batteries for your Money

Great info on that link, especially for people like me who know very little about batteries. I always buy the Procell ones off of Amazon and I've always wondered whether they could sub-standard compared to the more expensive ones. It turns out they are pretty good in terms of value for money.

Re: sourcing your purchases on amazon?

Thanks for the tip. I must admit I order a lot from China and Hong Kong on both eBay and Amazon but never considered looking at other countries.

Re: What preps are you doing this week? part 2.

I bought a new bike. It was only a cheapo from Halfords but I rode it home 7 miles and was reasonably impressed with it.
