Thanks, That's more positive advice than I expected.
It's also given me a hope of fixing any damage that it might cause.

Using old Diesel

Friends, a quandary, I have two x 20Litre (New) jerrycans of diesel which was bought at a local petrol station in July 2019. It was for use in my 1.6L old diesel car. Fool that I am, I never rotated it, so it is well past the recommended storage age of 6-12 months. Now, I'm planning to sell the car ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10

I don't mind eating out of date food myself and will feed it to my husband :lol: who will eat anything and if he thinks that it tastes a bit dodgy it definitely is! I am however much more careful when feeding my Dad who is 84. Anything which is more than a month out of date is a no go when I am fee...

Re: NRG-5 rations or freeze dried rations?

Big problem with expired food is that I won't feed it to MrJJ, because I don't want to eat Jail food if I poison him. Get it binned. Don't be so wasteful. BBE means Best Before End. Use by is the ones you must adhere to. Thanks FRNC for your concern I've always been a risk taker. But I do keep my w...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10

OMG, SO MUCH is WAYYYYYYY PAST BBE. Has it really been 7 years that I've been buying this stuff? !!!!! ... Mr JJ is annoyed, because he doesn't like going a year past BBE.

Re: How long can you sustain your family on your stored food? And tips how to rotate

Yes, Covid caused a bit of problems and we did not have some products for some time. However, it was not a survival situation Waddya mean. Disruption of Deliveroo and Just Eat caused millions of deaths. :lol: Covid lockdowns were a great dress rehearsal for we preppers. I wonder how many of our unp...

Re: NRG-5 rations or freeze dried rations?

If you only stash enough for 2 months, you only need 2 months shelf life. Because you can buy and forget about them. No rotation at all.... They are your food insurance, there for if TSHTF, your 2 months stash ( or longer) is your everyday food items that you eat and rotate out. 20 years food stash...

depends on what you are prepping for and what extended pantry you are fitting them into. Personally, they are not for me More to bug out than bug in.
