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

You got all of us with you pet, we all feel for you. And the thing to hang onto it - you're both ok. The cat is ok. (seriously, the cats family too so your wee family is all safe).

Re: Prepping when ill or infirm

Not on this scale but I've learned to do something similar. I've got Addisons Disease and recently it's got unstable so I've gone into near crisis a few times. It's very fast and very awful so now I've got steroids stashed all over the place :mrgreen: In every coat pocket, in every bag, in the car, ...

Re: Prepping when ill or infirm

We did that 3 years ago now GG , for the same reasons. Worn out with carrying coal in and clearing ashes out, and coping with 47k Propane cylinders for cooking and the severe winters up in the hills. I have to say it felt amazing being here, like being on holiday. Gentler weather, tiny cosy warm hou...

Re: Prepping when ill or infirm

Very true re illness and getting older as well JM. We found the same thing when the husband got heart probs and I got ill too. Adapting always has to be the way forward, and you never hear of an old Rambo - or if you do, then they're found dead in their homes or sheds because nobody knew they were i...
