Re: "Barefoot" walking shoes / boots
Hijacking Gerald's post a wee bit here but prepping su - I use wool insoles from chimney sheep, really can't recommend them highly enough! Used to use a rubbery thermal insole but these wool ones are exceptional. Link here - https://chimneysheep.co.uk/products/snug-feet-wool-insoles?_pos=1&_psq=...

Re: "Barefoot" walking shoes / boots
Yup, after a motorbike accident ~ 30 years ago one of my ankles is fekked. I moved to barefoot shoes (and strengthening exercises) about 15 years ago and wear nothing else (apart from chainsaw boots as required). I wear vivobarefoot (Eye wateringly expensive but last literally for years) exclusivel...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
Preparing veg beds ready for plant next month (we're still getting frosts up here) and quietly adding an extra bit of long-term food in the weekly shop.

Re: Straw Poll. How much food do you have in reserve?
We're just reaching the end of being snowed in since 1st January, could probably get out today but likely wait until tomorrow. We're a family of five (two adults, 3 late teens and two cats). We've had a very comfortable 10 days, no shortages, no change to diet, but running out of eggs, milk, breakfa...

Would not think so, TVP does not have the natural oils or fats that birds need in their diet to survive, also it is normally high in salt and additives which birds bodies would not be able to handle. That is my thoughts on it but others may think differently. Tha...

TVP as bird feed?
Bit of an off centre question here - we're in rural aberdeenshire, been snowed in for a week, not expecting to get out until at least the weekend if not longer. Humans and cats have plenty of provisions, however we've run out of bird food for the wild (garden) birds. We have some TVP that we didn't ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
My son drove into town to drop his mates off at the bus so I've sent him into Tesco to get more beer (just in case).
