Re: Help! Moving to London!
Some good sized plastic bags in the EDC - big enough to catch vomit or use as an emergency potty if on trains/tube. Much nicer for everyone in the compartment if the person looking green has a bag to hurl into instead of the floor. Likewise if the train is stationary for 6 hours with no way to get o...

Re: Help! Moving to London!
Londoner here. Prepping Su has it right. If you need to commute you need the "A" route, the "B" route, the "C" route, the "D" route and the "E" route. They will all get used. I used to work in Central London. I ensured I had cash for a cheapish hotel...

Re: Oh no I forgot my beetroot
If they are still in the ground come spring you could cut the leaves and use them as cooked greens. Beetroot is a close relative of Swiss Chard.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10
The wife has been granted an allotment, half a plot. It looks a bit neglected, will probably result in some labour from me in the new year. Not sure what we're going to plant yet, spuds and courgettes did well in our garden, peas and runner beans too. Suggestions, tips and advice more than welcome!...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10
Meanwhile I was pretty much thrown out of both classes for being a "know it all" because my step-mum had decided I was going to do it her way or the highway and it was easier to disagree with the teacher than with her when products of lessons came home. As long as you can stand the Texan a...

Re: Value Range foods compared
I put dried mushroom into my stock mix. It goves a good umami boost to almost everything - so yes we put mushrums in our Ragu. Our holy trinity of veg that goes into almost everything is finely diced onion, carrot and celery. It adds lots of flavour and is fried to translucent before anything else i...

Re: House fire
Wow. A very real test of preps. without them and your training and cool headedness it could have been so much worse. I am sure we would not have done so well. What did the FB have to say about how you handled things?

Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist
Prepper-Lite for us too. We do not have enough health or land on our side to go full prepper or survivalist. If SHTF big time I doubt either of us has the physicality needed to last long. We prep for bumps in the road and if needed, the ability to live in a much simpler society and hopefully be view...
