Re: When your SO completely fails as a prepper (light hearte
My father in law would not consider himself a prepper at all, but the family joke is how many toilet rolls he keeps.
Once I jokingly mocked the floor to ceiling pile he had in the bathroom (8 x 24 packets) at which point he showed me the hall cupboard with another matching stash.
I know where we are going if the SHTF.

Only 16 x 24 packs? He's no prepper then! That'll not last a year! Mine are stored in the bathroom attic. My excuse for so many is that they are acting as insulation for the bathroomArwen Thebard wrote:Once I jokingly mocked the floor to ceiling pile he had in the bathroom (8 x 24 packets) at which point he showed me the hall cupboard with another matching stash.

Being serious for a moment I wonder what the position is regarding insurance and the fire risk? We all know they will look for any excuse not to pay up.ukpreppergrrl wrote:Only 16 x 24 packs?

It's actually quite hard to set fire to a toilet roll. Not impossible by any stretch, but no harder than setting fire to the wool insulation that is sold. There'd have to be a pretty big blaze already going in the bathroom I think and if so the toilet rolls aren't going to make much difference.sniper 55 wrote:Being serious for a moment I wonder what the position is regarding insurance and the fire risk?

Re: When your SO completely fails as a prepper (light hearte
It doesn't seem to happen nowadays but a decade or so ago there was a phase on re-enactments to see torches at night made from a toilet roll soaked in paraffin in a tin on a pole . Worked quite well as I recall not that I ever made any as it just seemed a waste of perfectly good bog roll.

Yes and paraffin
On a very similar theme I was at one time asked to make flaming torches for a singing group known as the Medieval babes . They were to be carried in as the group made their way to the stage for an evening concert. I used a similar technique but rather than bog roll and paraffin I used hessian and candle wax and because one of the specifications was that there wouldn't be any drips they were mounted in fray bentos pudding tins on a handle. Such hard work having to eat something like nine puddings
