Hi-tech foods: eg. Huel & Soylent
Could the new hi-tech foods that are appearing (eg. "Soylent", and "Huel") be a suitable option for preppers? Everything you need in powdered form - just add water. This is the article that got me thinking: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/jul/31/huel-human-fuel-hi-tech-f...

Re: Emergency savings
This is an area I have expertise in. The "standard" amount of emergency cash is 3 times your net monthly income, but you can get away with 3 times your monthly outgoings to start with. So for instance, if you bring in £1,500 after taxes every month and of that spend £1,000 on necessary out...

Re: What preps are you doing this week? Part 3.
