Re: DIY dentistry
Abscesses and dental infections can kill you because bacteria around the teeth have an affinity for heart tissue. If it gets into your bloodstream you can have heart failure from the infection regardless of age. The facial nerves on that side can be affected too.You definitely need antibiotics and t...

Re: Car headlights
I was driving my brother home on Sunday evening and realised one of my headlamps had gone completely and the other one wasn’t too great either. Fortunately he lives quite close by and there was no other traffic about so I completed the journey on (gulp) full beam. Dashed off to Halfords first thing ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10
Well done on the compost bin, Jenny! Feel better really soon, poorly preppers. Keep going and do what you can with what you have. I managed to hurt my back so work on the garden is at a standstill but I got the car fixed up. New spark plugs, then an oil change in the very near future. Keep my 15 yea...

Re: Long-term meat storage? Venison, rabbit, pheasant
Must admit I think I’d salt it, smoke it or just eat it freshly caught and cooked or go without for a while. A friend of mine used to breed rabbits in a big shed. Ate the meat and sold the pelts back in the day. Not a bad idea.

I’m a cleaner at a school at the moment but I do pet sitting and life modelling. Hubby has a good job and skip dives too.

Re: Medical kit for hunting, biking, travel?
I was only recalling something told to me by a guy who grew up in rural India. Myself, I’ll stick to my tried and tested St. John’s Ambulance training and my well stocked First Aid kit.

Re: Medical kit for hunting, biking, travel?
An ex colleague of mine who grew up in India, told me that when he was a boy everybody carried a small knife (to cut fruit with), so they could eat while on the road and a handkerchief that functioned as a bandage. When out playing once he fell and cut his leg. He asked his friend to pass water on h...

Re: Radiation - war

Re: Bone broth
Awww, my dear old nana fed her family on soup made from bone broth, onions and veggies passed the recipe onto mum then me. Fond memories of bread ‘n’ drippin’ or a good fry-up with black pudding for breakfast when we went to stay over hers for a few days. Heaven and a heart attack on the same plate....
