Hee hee - not saying that I wouldn't, but it would have to be on a weekend, otherwise I'd never be able to get up for work the next day!

anticipation is king. if the worst happens and i have time, i can overdraw my account by a couple of thousand so food would be purchased. i live in a agricultural area so depending on what time of the year, fields would be raided. Must create a more secure place for my hens as they would be stolen from the allotment.

I don't think anyone has all they need, and never will, and hopefully will never have to find out that their preps are just a little bit of disposable security that will get them through a tiny blip and very little else.

Reality is we can, could and should do more, but heck, we have our "normal lives" to lead as well. :shock:

Aye well, we'd like to keep our lives "normal"- so that's why we do this.

That's my plan B but I'm not confident it'd be viable. Plan A is still to be well stocked up.....

Always have at least 3 plans :mrgreen: I need to start thinking/eating seasonally I think, and like somebody already mentioned, making sure I have some sort of veg growing or available all year round.

Might need a greenhouse and some solar heating or someway of creating a heat sink and a way of circulating it.
