Re: Micro Greens?
Looks interesting but isn't it pretty inefficient? i.e. with "normal" growing, a single seed might be enough to grow enough for a meal, or multiple meals, whereas this method uses up multiple seeds per mouthful? Granted the end result is edible food in a very short time but surely it's com...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 5.
Ah, definitely worth a look, a pain that they're twice the price of the US versions :-/
Go to Wilkinson’s and buy a 5 gallon food grade brewing bucket. Snap on lid , 9 quid.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 5.
I'd love to get some of the US-style 5-gallon buckets (with decent lids) but they seem hard to come by over here so I bought one of these to try out instead. Solid enough etc. but the plastic pong is pretty damn strong in it! I've left it open in the loft to try to air it out bit for a while - would...

Worlds smallest multi-tool?
Cute, but multi is stretching it a bit & $29 is stretching it a lot!

Re: Berkey water system
The Mogul (& alternate tap) finally arrived today. Looks sound enough, just need to decide what filter I want to invest in for it. Pretty simple device really but for the £15 it cost isn’t better than faffing with buckets etc.

Re: Importing "prepper" food & import duty?
Hmm, don't shout at me jansman but I came across this in Costco today & couldn't help buying a pack to give it a taste-test. Source from USA <ducks swiftly> but just want to get a "feel" for the stuff. My parents are visiting in a few weeks. If I don't get hold of a pressure-canner bef...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 5.
We've had a developing burst water main just the other side of town centre from us since last night (initial reports were of the road bulging & water leak) and, as inevitably expected we've just lost our mains water, presumably whilst they replace a section or similar. We're sorted enough for dr...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 5.
We've been away for 9 nights in the 'van whilst I'm working away from home. Work didn't go as planned so ended up extending by a couple of nights. I always ensure I have a few extra sets of cloths full-stop but OH has ended up getting low on her usual meds so will make sure in future she brings some...

Re: Importing "prepper" food & import duty?
Thanks for the insider POV jansman, I have no good reason to disagree/argue with you. Looks like I'll probably be finding a way to get myself a pressure canner at a vaguely sensible price then (plus some of the freeze-dried options).
