What Preps are you doing this week

[Brambles]

No.1 son has ordered me a pressure canner(woot!)
I won a Coleman dual fuel lantern and Aladdin blue flame heater on evilbay as an alternative, alternative heat/light source. The heater doubles up as a stove too!

Didn't want a good quality one then bulldogeagle don't forget to give it a good wash after using it on fuel otherwise it might contaminate your water

Had a cracking week on Freecycle! Got two carrier bags full of jam jars with lids, and off to pick up a load of hand tools on Saturday. The chap who owns them said they will need cleaning up as they've been in the shed for yonks, but I guess that won't be too hard...right?

And some shelving for the garage!

God bless Freecycle!

We cleared some of the barrels from our store room a few weeks back and kept finding more and more rice and sugar, I think we have about 50Kg of sugar and close to 60Kg of rice along with a six month supply of assorted pasta.

Going to whittle it down a bit next year, especially the sugar as we like our home made wines and Sloe gin and Elderberry vodka

50 kg of sugar and 60 kg of rice? How do you store that quantity?
