I bought a small, lightweight tent, a bag a bog and the special bags! some campfire cookware, bottled some more water, dehydrated some fruit and added some tinned goods, I have picked up some more pallets from local building store (needs chopping and de-nailing!) have also planted some seeds for tomatoes and onions, fingers crossed they grow, im useless at growing things!
Oh, and I have talked my OH into getting me a Ghillie kettle for valentines :mrgreen: after all Im not one for flowers and chocolates!

All in all I think Ive been a busy bee so far and its only Tuesday! good times!
Ghillie kettle are great when camping, but keep in mind they take up quite a bit of room in your pack.

Thanks very much, I am going for the 1L one but expect it to be a bit big, luckily though am not planning a BO alone but if the space in either packs are best used for something else it would be left behind :cry:

If circumstances permit, you could always tie it to the outside of your pack? I always did that with cooking stuff - mess tins etc - when I was in ATC :)

Hi just thought I would share my Daily Preps....Just completed six 2000 calorie ration packs. Until I get a vacuum sealer the packs do require water, i know what some of you are thinking but hey if you can't get enough water to make cous cous.....you are already dead !!

My packs contain.

1 x Pasta & Sauce
1 x Cous Cous
1 x Noodles
2 x Cup O Soup
1 x Instant porridge (only requires water)
1 x small KitKat (other chocolate bars are available) :)
1 x Lunch box pack of Raisins
1 x packet of dried Fruit
1 x pack of mini Biscuits
1 x Hot Chocolate or Cappuccino
4 x Sweeteners
1 x Coffee & Whitener
4 x Tea Bags

Regards

Dj

I found a $20 note in the back of my purse this morning, so I treated myself to one of these...
