Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9

Ordered a heat sealer for my ongoing mylar project. Not had great success with a hot iron!

Jenny, I’m estimating 60w max from the reviews. Maybe I’ll do better with the double USB input. Blooming sun has gone in now :lol:

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9

Sunny up here, so finally playing with my Big Blue 100w (actually 60w) solar panel. Supposed to be able to dual charge my power bank by USB and USB C at the same time. Knowing me I’ll probably blow something up :lol: :lol:

Wilko is my go-to place for household stuff. Their wipes are cheap, plastic free (except for packaging!) and vegan 😀

- white velcro to use on an insect screen so I can have the window open overnight (its like Piccadilly Central for bugs).
Great idea! Whenever I open a window, a wasp or other insect flies in!

Re: Cooking oil shortages

Our little Costcutter has plenty of 1L sunflower oil at £1.79. Use by 04/23. Shop local, even if it is a bit pricey.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 9
