I have made Loads of those bricks they work really well
The main things are soak them for a long time before you try it I find a week is about right. Try and use half newspaper and half bleached paper but never use shiny paper
And do it on a sunny day as you WILL get wet doing it !!
Good luck
On a prepping note I have finally got some more chickens. Pure breed white Sussex good eaters and layers. And I found a farmer who will sell whole corn
As far as cross cut shredded waste is concerned, if its only black and white ink and non shiny paper, it goes in the compost bin, bit by bit, that seems to work fine for me.
Actual preps:
- I bought some paracord! Outdoor type shop on the Sussex coast had a bogof offer, so I got two lengths for the price of one. They're an expensive shop a lot of the time, so this brought it down to reasonable amounts.
- Millets, I was browsing, and bought some water purification tabs and some tick tweezers! Weird. But I checked the head, and they're shaped very differently from normal tweezers, so I went ahead and got them - part of my plan for being a medical-type person.
been to tesco`s again and got another 9kg`s of pasta while its cheap .
also found they had beef stock cubes for 10p so got 10 of those .
went to the local quid shop . picked up 2 mylar /silver emergancy blankets and 2 temp shelters ,40mtrs of rope and a half decent pocket knife and some glow sticks .
some more soap and shower gel and throw away lighters .
for those that eat them 500g tins of sardines in oil from 99p shop
YES i walked away mid sentence , you were boring me to death and my survival instincts kick in .
The waiting list for allotments round here is so long it could take years to get one, So I'm planning on what i can grow in my very small garden. Go over my bug out bags again to make sure that I've not missed anything. Sharpened my knife at work today too. Small things but i feel I'm getting somewhere.
Seeing how things seem to be getting weird I've updated those that i trust where our bugout meeting spot is and when to head there. Plus told spongers that know I'm a survivalist disinformation. No way I'm helping others that don't want to help themselves.
Got my woodburner fitted and my other chimney relined so will have heating if the leccy goes off sorting the log piles and getting a stock of coal arranged.Got another 15kg bottle of gas so enough now to keep the portable gas rings/grill going for about 2yrs :)Sorting out my fitness as i havent done any for two years which is bad,remember Zombieland "good cardio" Hopefully i will be back at the level i was before soon.Built a new storage shed and will get guttering and butts fitted this weekend.Stocking up on some more dog food.

got 4 whistles for the bug out bags today, a high visibility vest for the car, and a 36 hour burning candle for the house. Ramdom - but hey ho, every bit adds up.
Re-fitted my greenhouse with new staging, beds and flooring. The tomatoes were poor this year so I cleared them out and got this job done. Also made a batch of runner bean chutney last night. Only problem, the house stinks of vinegar now!
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Covid 19: After that level of weirdness ,any situation is certainly possible.
