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

It gets worse when you have a wife who is an enabler saying things like "I've gone over the finances and we have an extra £20 in the food budget you can use for food stores and I've made a list of things we should get" I know we don't need anymore as we are well over the month stock plan a...

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

Stocked up on a few more meals and oj and long life milk. Also picked up a folding pruning saw it will come in handy for kindling. I think I might have a problem as we are probably 2-3 times over the original stocking up plan and I can't help but buy more. My name is preparing_al and I have a prepin...

Re: Diy 6x6 pickup build

A few years ago I remember reading about a guy who who did something similar using 1 and a 1/2 land rover chassis and hydraulic suspension to lift an axle to give better turning. Huge amount of work tho

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

Last week we ran out of fuel well the wife did and had to buy £20 of REAL diesel till I could fill up our stocks again yesterday. Until you actually store it you don't always notice how much you actually use so added a couple of 20ltr jerry cans to the stock. Now sitting with 5x 25ltr and 2x 20ltr p...

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

Lidl have powder fire extinguishers in so picked one up for the caravan. Not glamourous like a extra 20 tins of spam but useful non the less. The caravan is our bug out plan if we need to leave the house it's stocked with food (and beer) for at least a week plus usually a couple changes of clothes. ...

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

Having cleared my debt I was hoping for a woo hoo moment prob next month. I have kept my credit cards for work use and emergency use just need to pay off when I get paid and don't over use them. Talking of fuel we changed to using biodiesel and now buy a month's worth of fuel at once. Usually fill 5...

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

A minor victory for us today we've cleared off all our debts apart from the mortgage using our savings. Paid off the car loans a year early glad that is gone. Cleared our credit cards apart from what work owes me - there is never enough in the petty cash a real bug bare that it can take up to 2 mont...

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

I ran a fire drill at one of our buildings recently and and I was disappointed at the turn out of the fire marshal's even though they were give a heads up that we would be doing it that month.
