Re: Cannabis for pain relief
Are any of you trying omega 3 oil for the arthritis? Studies suggest about 3g a day. I certainly notice if I forget to take it for a while.

Re: Home Solar System
Could you screw the frame to a base section which extends out to the garage walls and screw to the walls? Or talk to a roofer about "washers" or the like to seal the roof and fix there? Our set up is screwed to the shed roof and does not leak and seems stable in the wind. Although with cli...

Re: Greetings fellow preppers
Rhubarb is incredibly easy if you have a square metre for it. It needs deep soil (60cm or more) little shade (i.e.it will not like living under a tree) and a shovelful of organic goodness like manure a couple if times a year. It will want a bucketful of water a week if it hasn't rained for the first...

Re: Prepping - Strength in Numbers / Community
Selco is one of the few bloggers writing from real life experience. (Bosnian war) He says that survival required a community. Some people did not prove trustworthy - and in SHTF they may get dealt with brutally. And some people suffered because they trusted the wrong people - impossible to be comple...

At the moment it is more likely to be panic buying or forecourts unable/unwilling to pay the new restock price. The UK holds a 90 day reserve for petrol/diesel but if people buy more than usual, the restock process cant keep up with demand. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/no-fuel-supermarket-petr...

Re: Help and support
And try to live within your means It sounds trite but it is true. The thing that made the difference for use was to put a bit of money aside as soon as I had been paid. That went into another account and we did our level best to avoid using it each month. It meant that we had an emergency fund so th...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
I bought that mix a few years ago but the family refused to eat it in any form until I powdered it and used it as a stock powder supplement. Do report back on how you get on with it and if you have any good ideas for using it other than as stock powder. (Of course it may just be that my lot are fuss...

Re: Help and support
There is no shame in being broke. It is its own SHTF. I would suggest joining Freecycle and Olio which both have local people clearing out non-food and food items. Water preps can be free if you can lay your hands on empty 2litre fuzzy drink bottles to refill. It is the sort of thing you could ask n...

Just found that Renogy are selling their 100AH LifePo battery on Fleabay on offer. Combined with the Ebay spring 15% off it comes in at £136 instead of the usual £199.
So that is my old AGM upgraded to LifePo for the solar revamp.
