I wouldn't fancy using any of it if I didn't have to, but I *can* :) There's also boxes of candles, light enough of them at once and you can warm your hands, even if you don't go the flowerpot route :lol: Sit in the car assuming you've a full tank ;) phone / tablet charging off the cigarette lighte...

Depends how bad it gets - my primary backup is a little gas fire that runs on the same cartridges as a solo camping stove. I have a couple of litres of veg oil that went off (to my shame!) but I kept them, and I could easily soak cardboard/ twigs/ even spare material if it got bad enough, and light ...

Welcome to the forum, Allex - you'll find that quite a few of us are on the other end of the age spectrum, so to speak :) you'll fit right in. Can I ask, do you have a garden? Perennial plants can be a real help - fruit bushes, herbs, a few vegetables, or maybe a few "set and forget" like ...

Welcome! There's a few in south east England, but like Andy said, what kind of thing are you prepping for? We generally like to get to know people before next steps like where we are and whatnot. Whatever you're going for, hope you find lots of good stuff in the forum.

Well done GeeGee, that's great news

Go for it

Welcome, Norfolk Prepper! Having an 8 month old is a great reason to prep, and one of the most difficult times in our lives to prep, Yorkshire Andy has it absolutely right :) With things the way they are *right* now, it makes me think about flood preparation - do you have an upstairs, ie do you have...

GeeGee your resilience is amazing and I bet that stew tastes fantastic! Here's hoping that in two weeks you are able to return to some kind of normality and that your OH hasnt been too negatively affected by all of the upheaval. *raises a very large mug of Yorkshire Tea to you* Here's another mug o...

Sorry to hear about your mother, jansman. It sounds like the research has been done, and its all taken care of - the less stress the better at a time like that. When my mum died, some of the most stressful days really stand out. All three of us were Executors, and her will was lodged with her solici...
