Re: Disproportionate storage

...I said that we are perhaps asking the wrong question because frankly I don't feel we're going to face a situation where the shop shelves are suddenly bare of everything. Or if they do there's a bigger problem and society or civilisation has irreparably collapsed overnight. A far more likely situ...

Re: Popped Jars and cans

Yes all "wet" MREs (UK.USA. UN and some Eastern Europe), French and some Eastern Europe Countries come in tins. If you look around on Ebay they can be as found as low as £1. A good mixture of curries, stews and omelette/Fritatas all portioned controlled. The lifespan says 3- 5 years but I...

Is that what your MREs are in. I read your post about switching to MREs and I must say that sounds expensive. Do you rotate them into your regular diet?

Popped Jars and cans

It's no secret that I pay very little regard to BBE dates. However, a few observations this week from my visit to the extended pantry..... Black Olives: barely BBE 2021, the button had popped on the jar. Investigation revealed mass of white mould on the above surface olives. Gustibus Pasta sauce: BB...

Re: Value Range foods compared

I know. 59p in Home Bargains. I could hardly believe it. Tesco also has heinz soup at 5 for £5 but they pissed on their chi...

Re: Home brewing?

I got a load of brewing stuff a few years back but never used it. I recently dug it out as I wanted to make some cider from the apples from our garden*. WHAT A PULLAVER !! We spent all afternoon mashing/pulping/pressing apples and came up with a single demi john of juice which has been fermenting i...

Biogas Digesters?

I see on the news that an industrial food waste recycling plant blew up. That got me thinking if we preppers are maybe missing a trick. Actually I was gobsmacked that there would even be such a thing as an industrial food waste disposal plant. But then I saw how big the flames got and I wondered if ...

Re: Food storage list/inventory

I used to use a super detailed Excel list, but it went to seed. The list serves as a reminder of what i need. Now, use marker pen to clearly write on BBE, then treat your extended pantry as your supermarket and treat your actual supermarket run as a wholesaler trip. Helps to identify the things you ...
