Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

Does this go where the hose was, on the stop tap, or does it replace the stop tap and go on the brass pipe? I suspect the latter but not sure. On the end where the plastic hose "nut" screws to the washing machine isolation valve I've also a stock of random plumbing bits both Yorkshire sol...

Anyone know where I can get a jerry can spout to fit a real military can? I have a 10lt copy the spout fits fine, but not ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

We did hav...
