Re: Prepping when ill or infirm
Also we have bang up to date wills. Most important. What’s more,if you are trade union members as we are,they are free! My late boss knew he was terminal, had four or five months to cross the T's and dot the I's (most of his affairs were in order anyway, he was that kind of bloke) and it still took...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
OMG :lol: it's about a month since I've driven the Peugeot, and I always knew I wouldn't be getting one of *those*, so I'm hoping it'll be okay. But I appreciate the warning, all of you :) You'll be fine, its switching from one to the other with only minutes between that messes with your head. Day ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
Lovely! :D I admire you for your perseverance. Take care and treat every other driver as an idiot and you will be fine. In fact your recent training puts you in a better position than a lot of veteran drivers. Happy New Year. Thanks jansman! I'm driving much slower than the people around me, and ev...

Happy Calender Advancement Day.
This week I have mostly been fitting a new loft ladder..... I hadn't realised just how dodgy the old one was until I tried the new one for the first time.

Re: Waterbutt drinking water
Ah, that stuff..... Thats probably a good catch surface. Have a look at "First Flush" systems, basically they divert the first rain water (with all the kak off your roof) to the drain and then automatically switch flow to your storage. Why double filter? if your filter will remove it the f...

Re: NRG-5 rations or freeze dried rations?
So, my NRG are going out of code soon....ish (like that matters) and I was stuck at work and hungry so I grabbed some pics and I can give you lot a reviewlet. Inside the box you have a big foil package, two packs of tea extract (which I haven't tried yet) and four 1 ltr puritabs https://live.staticf...

Re: Waterbutt drinking water
Flat roof.... Roofing felt? If so, not so good for drinking. Ditto a lead roof, a metal roof in zinc, copper or stainless steel are best for harvesting drinking water. As others have said, use your water butts as a source of clean(ish) water for non-drinking uses. Theres loads of information in the ...

Re: Waterbutt drinking water
Hiya Mike
How much do you want to spend?
There are nearly as many answers to your question as budgets.
The other thing to think about is what your catchment surface is (you said waterbutts so I'm going to imagine its your roof)
Its a serious question, bad water kills.

Re: Prepping when ill or infirm
I'll mention now that a denture tablet tube holds about £20 in 20p's, slips into a bag easily and doesn't look like a load of money if somebody 'tosses' your bag. 20p's are the one of densest small change (from a value to bulk perspective), are accepted by most vending machines and if its a "N...

Re: Winter car kit
I found half a dozen of those LED light pucks in a blaze orange bag on a junk stall for a tenner, just batteried them up and added them in. Got salt, shovel (well two, a steel mini shovel and a full sized in orange plastic), snowgrips (for me, not the car), pair of chainsaw gloves (Branded by bought...
