Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
Weather's finally warming up, hopefully no more frosts, so starting to plant the veg garden this week. We have a very good chance of frost tomorrow night here in the midlands. Everything fleeced in the greenhouse! Too wet & windy for a frost here although we have had a decent fall of snow previ...

We're pretty much equidistant between aberdeen & kinloss RAF base, each ~50 miles away. I think I'd be losing my hair & teeth...........

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
Wee reminder of importance of dry socks in your BOB - went for my weekly wild camp bivvy and somewhat randomly forgot to take spare socks. True to form I stood in a bog and got boot & sock soaked through. Had to put (frozen) wet socks on in the morning, not a biggy, car was only a couple of mile...

Hi Norfolk prepper, handy exercise with a baby is to get a backpack baby carrier and walk places, basically you're rucking with a baby instead of 40lb of kit. Baby loves it too.
The baby backpacks cost a fortune new but often come up on marketplace/ebay etc.

Re: Snow.......
If I (and family) are at home not a problem - woodburner with ample wood. Gas hob with year+ worth of propane, gas cabinet heater with two bottles, stored water (plus could melt snow on hob), ~ months worth of food but worryingly only about a weeks worth of wine 😉 If I'm at work not so good, often w...

Re: N.H.S. views and experiences
I've just had a phone call with dermatology about a skin lesion that bleeds in sunlight - I've been the waiting list for 24 weeks, only another 67 to go! True story. Thankfully I know a dermatology specialist nurse and numerous doctors and no one thinks it's malignant so no stress but it'd be unfunn...

Re: NRG-5 rations or freeze dried rations?
As others have said these freeze dried foods have their place, I’m thinking of getting some of the MREs that are about 800 calories each to chuck in my edc rucksack and back of the car for emergencies, having to abandon my car with the snow in Ambleside and Windermere last weekend showed me how fas...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10
We had some tesco flour from 2020 that we've just used for (ahem) croissants of all things. It was kept in its original packaging in a closed plastic tub in the garden shed. Hadn't clumped like yours though. In a sort of prepping oneupmanship shortly after getting married in 2000 I went through the...
