Was backtracking through some old bookmarks and this thread popped up. Tried thc oil from Releaf last winter for my arthritic knee- could barely squat down. Within a week I was sleeping through the night without waking up stiff. No comparison to the usual paracetamol routine.

I focus on the basics first: rice, beans, oats, flour, oil. Everything else is “nice to have” but not essential when budgets are tight.

Water is the trickiest part for most beginners, you're not alone. Looking forward to your questions

Late reply, but I solved the problem with a session at Solutions Training & Advisory Ltd. Once I understood what’s actually essential in a home first aid kit, I stopped wasting money on sets full of useless stuff.

I’ve been looking into solar power stations too, and from what I’ve seen, they’re great for small stuff like charging phones or running lights, but running things like dehydrators or pumps can be tricky unless you get a really powerful setup. The battery quality matters a lot—like you said, a worn-o...

Yeah, the UV-5R is pretty popular for a reason — solid little radio for the price. I’ve messed around with programming mine using CHIRP software; it makes it way easier than doing it by hand.

That could help prevent waste and ensure you’re rotating stock efficiently, especially for the foods your family doesn’t consume regul...
