Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10

As an addition I believe some of these films also block at least some UV light which should mean things close to the window should hopefully not suffer from bleaching as quickly... You can get security specific window films, many of them DIY application. That, depending on the thickness, will hold ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10

I’ve spent the last few weeks slowly building my food preps back up, I used probably over 50% of them across the summer. For no reason other than to get all the dates back up to optimum! I think another few weeks and il be back up to where I was at the start of the spring. I added another couple sol...

Re: I'm new

Well, that’s exactly why I’ve been practicing once a week preparing meals with minimal fresh ingredients. I do have a small selection of herbs and veggies in my flowerbeds so I try to involve them in my cooking when I can. Pasta wise, fry onion (assuming you have it or are growing it) minced garlic...

Re: I'm new

I just think things look like they are going to turn bad. I think theres a good chance of war breaking out somewhere. This could disrupt the supply lines and lead to a shortage of food? If this doesn't happen, then ive saved some money on food. I could lose my job, I don't know. Then there is the p...

Re: I'm new

Welcome! Something to add with things you already keep stores of. Have a think about what exactly you’re going to do with the things you store if you had no access to a shop or supermarket. Flour for example, keep some yeast too if you intend on making bread with it. Pasta + Rice (in the unlikely ev...

Re: The dark nights are coming

My first comment from a long haul of keeping my head down and working, working, working. This post reminded me to order another solar PIR light for the side of the house/driveway. Already have one but only covers half the drive and always intended to buy another after I knew it wasn’t crap! (Which ...

Re: I got broken into :(

I had a customer broken into a few years ago. Entry was by the very unsubtle method of throwing a garden ornament through the patio door. It's almost impossible to lock everything away for the burglar who doesn't come equipped. Just think how many potential missiles a log store contains for instanc...

Re: I got broken into :(

Good going Jansman! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Glad the police were ok I’ve heard so may stories of people defending themselves only to have the police having a go at them! After my incident, the police didn’t give a dam! They basically said unless you have the suspects faces, names, blood type and DNA samples… nothin...
