Re: Living in a new build, Need storage, thinking under sta
Agreed it would be nigh on impossible to remove the plasterboard without damage but in all honesty I'd cut out a "doorway" and create a door or hatch using mdf held in place by magnetic clips or buttons ( a sort of timber clip rather than those round things on your jacket) and painted in w...

Re: Where to live post SHTF?
On the surface it sounds an attractive idea , who wouldn't want to be the Lord of their own castle? However, as others have said it takes numbers to protect a castle and I'd have serious doubts as to whether it would be possible to produce enough food within those castle walls . Another thing to con...

Re: Living in a new build, Need storage, thinking under sta
Can you post a pic of the under stair area I can't visualise where the plasterboard wall you want to move is, in other words is that area already blocked off and inaccessible or not. I have a lot of experience in this subject ;) If I'm reading the description correctly I would say that there is a t...

Re: financial prepping the way I see it
A lot of what you say rings a bell with me and I've taken some of the same steps that you have . I've seen redundancies and scrapping a living , scrimping and saving so it seems only logical that my preps lean in that direction. I'm not going to say that they're the best sort of prep because I don't...

Re: Folding shovel?
Anyone have any recommendations for a good, well made, reasonably priced fold up shovel? Ideally something like a British army issued ETH, and it must have a pouch. Thanks in advance Something like a British army tool ? Why not just get one of those , there're easy enough to find and won't break th...

Re: Fruit and nuts
Going very slightly off topic but I finally got round to picking some Roman berries. Not of my own trees as I don't have any but from a customers grounds. The trees always seem to have a lot although maybe just a few less this year but still pretty abundant . I picked about a carrier bag full and we...

Re: Money suggestions
This is how I did things when I first started work. I was paid weekly but drew money monthly so in effect four weeks wages. Firstly I paid mother my board and then put aside a bit less than one weeks money to act as a float for everyday expenses. Thus there was always two weeks money put aside in a ...

Re: What preps are you doing this week? Part 3.
Just bought some powdered peanut butter (from Sainsburys). Rather expensive, but will last longer than the oil ones. That's a new one on me , not heard of it before. What do you mix it with to reconstitute , I'm presuming oil rather than water? How's the taste once made up in comparison to "re...
