Re: Pets Food

Thankfully our dog isn't on any drugs or special food and eats what ever is put in front of her so can bulk buy at bookers what ever is on offer easy enough. So have 3+ months on hand at a time I think and this is just from friends dog that there is a lot more 'pedigree' dogs about and a lot of in b...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 5.

I don't know if anyone would call this prepping but in a way I feel it is. I have had the final delivery of service parts for our cars they don't need serviced for another 3-4 months but I had some spare cash in my PayPal account so bought a few filters and bits. Also had a loo roll emergency we wer...

Re: Stocking up.

I need to up the cleaning stuff, both for the house and for people. Made a start but for some reason my missus would rather buy 2 things five times rather than just go out and buy 10. I do the same thing as buying 10 bag of rice or 10 jars of peanut butter points you out as odd but buying 2-3 at a ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 5.

We are enjoying a prepper cake we made from a recipe I found on a Facebook prepping page. Dry fruit, tea and self raising flour. It makes a stodgy fruit cake quite tasty Tomorrow was supposed to be a bookers run but as Mrs Al is booked in for mini me to be born early tomorrow that is in hold. We don...

Re: How are you preparing for Brexit?

I heard a report yesterday saying property prices could fall by 30% in the event of a hard brexit. I've heard this before but can't get my head round how it would happen. I can understand a slow down with banks unwilling to lend for a while until everything settles down back to "normal." ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 5.

This week we've been mostly fixing roofs. The 2 cracked tiles on the house turned out to be 9 plus the full ridge was loose. So that's all fixed before the winter storms. The garage has sprung a leak the shed roof was redone over the summer but the garage had looked ok, obviously not. It's been patc...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 5.

Picked up another 5x 25ltr drums so I could then buy 250ltrs of biodiesel. It's a 45 minutes drive each way to fill up so this way I only need to do it once a month and should start having a stock in the garage spare at the end of the month. I don't like spending £1.39 a litr when I can get away wit...

Re: Trailer tents

We have had a Rapido folding caravan it was a pain to put up and down but solid sides and kept water out in a heavy storm. It folded up into trailer and was easy to tow and store in a lock up. That was sold and a few years latter we got a dandy trailer tent pvc walls and roof so no need to worry abo...
