Re: New to UK Prepping - Have some experience elsewhere

Hi and welcome from the suburban North West. You make good points about the viability of going off grid in the Uk. Surely different from SA. See this video... https://uk-preppers.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=204667#p204667 Societal breakdown is a recurring theme. And so is disruption in food and ener...

Re: Uses for Flour.

Agreed about the prepper doctrine of storing what I eat. This is what makes food storage challenging, along with the need to use and eat foods with a long shelf life. At least there's no "tasting panel"! I also use TVP, dried lentils and other pulses and beans. I find chickpeas take too l...

Re: Uses for Flour.

Thanks for the advice. A quick check with eBay gives 1Kg whole egg powder at between £24 and £35 and white only at about £37. Regarding protein, my existing long - term source is tinned sardines (last for years); I don't eat meat. I need to figure out how I'm going to integrate dried eggs (and poss...

Re: Uses for Flour.

Flour is an essential prep, but I only use about 1.5Kg per year. Very occasionally I run out of bread and make a sort of bread out of self - raising flour, vegetable oil and water. I make the dough and grill both sides. It ends up like flattish cakes, and if a generous amount of mixed fruit, as use...

Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener

I am not convinced that is blight. I can't seen anything "fungal fluffy growth" and I have always seen at least a little of that with a bad/collapsed plant. All about blight here with pics. https://horticulture.co.uk/potatoes/blight/ While this is frost damage https://www.allotments4all.c...

Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener

How warm has it been where you are? Blight is high risk when temperatures stay above 10 degrees for 2 days or more and humidity above 90%. April seems early for it.
