Re: Water just gone off, and what about the toilet?

I haven't given this a lot of thought, I must admit. I go camping but don't own a chemical toilet. It is something I mean to purchase for emergency situations short term.

Re: Its that time of year again : winter preps

And could I find a use for those fallen leaves?
Bag them up, water them from time to time, poke a few holes in the bag and loose tie the tops and in a year or two you will have leaf mould to put down as a mulch if you grow stuff. :)

Re: Best preppin' tip. Don't announce it.

*nods at Quercus* Yes as you said "Sometimes attaching the term 'prepper' is counter productive." I can often be heard saying to my friends "it must be the girl guide in me" when friends marvel at the fact I have paracetamol/small torch/screwdriver etc in my bag. I tend to say th...

Re: Food and water in vehicles.

As I usually keep a pack or 2 of 6x250l water bottles in the back and some nibbles and as my girls know they are there, as you imagine, they don't stay "there" for very long! Funny how even travelling 10 miles to our local main shopping town, they will announce that they are hungry/thirsty...
