Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

I've just bought 30 x 2000cc oxygen absorbers from Fresherpack - in packs of 10. I'm going to repack all my existing long-term storage food with the new oxygen absorbers then pack 10 x more with new dried goods. I've then got 10 more for any 'panic purchases' when we see how El Nino starts to play ...

I think you're good. ;)

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

NIDO powdered milk has gone up since I last bought it in April also - £3.81 to £4.97. Do you have a Sainsbury's nearby? Currently on offer at 900g for £9.75 with Nectar. Thanks. I tend to buy the smaller ones as they don't last forever once they're opened and I haven't found a solution for that yet...

Prices and Orders Amazon has got a good deal on Napolina pasta and the Gold long grain basmati rice if anyone's thinking ahead to next year and the crop situation due to El Nino.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

Has anyone else been looking at "DoomPrep" on YouTube? UK based, breaking down some of the more recent Govt advice and seems to be offering advice in line with what most of us have worked out. Claims to have some access to leaked Govt information but how true that is I don't know. e.g. ht...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13

Following the fires I've refocused on my 'get out of the house quickly preps'. I realised the only thing prepped is a wash kit for myself and my wife, so I've started to gather the extra bits we'd need. Spare underwear, bit of cash, a credit card, spare dog lead, bowl and some food. I want to keep ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
