My car kit throughout the year consists of waterproofs, blanket, cooking kit & food, water, some tools, torches. Always keep fuel above half full.
In winter I add a 10kg bucket of grit, shovel, snow chains & sleeping bag and swap the all season tyres for winter tyres.

Winter wheels with snow tyres fitted to car this morning, 18yo son fitted two, I did the other two with 16yo daughters watching on and they'll be driving next year so they get to swap them back in the spring.

Scary sh1te! Good job you were home.

Def prepper lite here too, we have some extra food, we have skills and arent phased by extendedpower cuts but wouldnt be able to continue if society collapsed. I go wild camping on a weekly basis and indeed revel in the bad weather, however to try and do the survivalist thing particularly with famil...

I drive a huge amount with work so taking these positive reviews and downloaded the audio book, looking forward to it.

Straw bale's been good, as I say, first time using it this year, grew salad type plants with it (pak choi, chard, radish). I poked fist sized holes into the bales (which hadnt been seasoned) which I then filled with shop bought compost and planted into. Theyre are rotting quite nicely now - should b...

Been making a couple more raised beds this morning, quite into the straw bale gardening at the mo after trying it for the first time this year so these beds are just the size of two bales. Bit of repointing the house walks now then retiring to the shed to tinker with motorbike and listen to Johnny w...

From a personal point of view I keep 5x 5 litre plastic cans of petrol plus 16 litres in my motorbike tank and ~ 5 litres of 2 stroke for the chainsaw. I have another old bike I'm doing up so could have another 20 litres in that tank but i don't actually feel comfortable storing any more than I have...

Getting mildly off topic, I think even petrol is more stable than some would have you believe. At this time of year I fill my motorbike tank (about 4 gallons), drain out the carburettors and leave it until probably April/May then I just fill the carbs again, press the button and away it goes. Never ...

Yup, just use it. I've used diesel that's a couple of years old and was stored in plastic cans in a shed. Went in a modern diesel citreon and an older kia. No problems at all, as others have said just throw it in with some newer stuff.
