Finally got round to ordering a .5l Kelly kettle, 'cept its got a different name so was £10 cheaper than the other ones on Amazon. I will try it out down the allotment when I am turning the earth and prepping the beds for next years spring growth. At least I can get a cuppa without gas or leccy now and without having to make a proper fire :)

Bought a biggie today!

A Lifesaver Cube and a Cube Replacement Cartridge.

http://www.lifesaversystems.com/lifesav ... saver-cube
The LIFESAVER® cube™ is the perfect family accessory allowing you to have access to instant sterile water for your home and leisure time. A simple to use portable device, requiring no installation and offering up to 5000 litres of water filtration, the LIFESAVER® cube™ is the latest product in the LIFESAVER® Family.

With the LIFESAVER® cube™ you will be able to access water from a variety of sources including compromised tap water and instantly provide clean water for your family, just FILL, PUMP, DRINK™. It is the ideal home accessory reducing lime scale and chlorine in your water.

http://www.lifesaversystems.com/lifesav ... GHsiGIgGSM
This cartridge is preserved and sealed in Military Grade Foil packaging allowing it to be stored safely with shelf-life of up to 10 years. You then get a further 5 years usage once opened. That’s 15 years in total.
Obviously I'm a completely part-time prepper, otherwise I would have gone for the Lifesaver bowser - good for 2 million litres! http://www.lifesaversystems.com/lifesav ... fesaver-c2

Seriously, I've been saving up for the Cube for a while now and I'm really chuffed to have finally ordered it :D
Saving up for some extra activated carbon filters now and a replacement cartridge for my Lifesaver bottle!

Yesterday my Dad bought me a couple of walkie-talkies from Decathlon. 7km line of sight, 500m in a city. 8 channels with CTCSS, hand's free voice activated kit. Good enough for communication on a convoy. Have been missing the communications side of my preps, I at least have a basic system now. Not had a walkie-talkie since I was a kid and my friend and I split the cost of a set. Ah...memories...!

You can never have too much chocolate!! Been really good with the chocolate stash and not touched it.... Yet!!! :? Have had to stop my son from digging in a couple of times though... Lol I have however scoffed both boxes of the replacement granola bars :shock: I may leave it a whike before restocking the restock stock!!! :lol:

Took delivery of 48 packs of two biscuits, ginger, chocolate chip and fruit. In packs of 2 so perfect for grabbing a few packs to put in the car.

Old army trick that we used to do is go to the naffi and buy 5 marsbars , take back to room and bind them in loads of black and nasty gaffa tape , enough to put you off just having one ,but not so much that when frozen and hunger you would have enough energy to open them . As a bonus youll have spare gaffa tape too.
