Who remembers frozen milk in bags ?
I must confess, I don't but I know milk can be frozen. Like anything else it will come down to space what you put in your freezer(s) and what you prep for. I'm guessing a lot of us are fixating on Brexit at the moment so hopefully lecky shouldn't be a problem. The lights going out in the UK would be a big red face for whatever government is calling the shots.

I have a little Evap milk for variety in case TSHTF Discounted the idea of UHT because of storage size and weight.

Like my tinned stuff, I just stash it and forget it.... Might bin it one day or more likely, I may just add to it.
I don't 'use' dried milk, so it wont get rotated as such. Not worried about the cost or waste, really.

Loads of dehydrating, nothing too exotic, got peppers in at the moment and we have some mushrooms that are past their best so they'll be next. Been getting the allotment squared away for next year too.

We've (well Her Maj has) been turning our bumper apple crop into apple wine. She tried it last last year and it wasn't a total success, a bit 'murky' but going for it again this year. Still got more apples to be sacrificed in a noble cause.

We are enjoying a prepper cake we made from a recipe I found on a Facebook prepping page. Dry fruit, tea and self raising flour. It makes a stodgy fruit cake quite tasty

Tomorrow was supposed to be a bookers run but as Mrs Al is booked in for mini me to be born early tomorrow that is in hold. We don't need to buy wanted to top up before his arrival just going to have to wait now.

Take yourself Scran and drinks in when you go the hospital isn't interested in dad one bit I got kicked out at 4am and told visiting starts at 9am and have a safe drive home having been up for 24+ hours the advice of driving safely didn't go down well! Oh and change for the flipping car park although on one occasion I might have accidentally gone over a curb to get out when the sodding anpr payment thing didn't recognize my number plate :/
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
