As the next stage of the current check on our preps i’m going through the faraday protected items, sw radios, cb, walkie talkies etc, making sure everything is working ok and we have at least two different ways of powering each up.
waiting for delivery of another Mattock.
Off out tomorrow to pick up supplies; fuel for generator; get some cash out of the Bank (just in case), and head off to supplier to order a load of logs. Have I forgotten anything, Chaps?
Pickling anything that moves at the moment. Peppers, Chillies, Cabbage, Onion Chutney.
did a big shop yesterday, keeping both cars topped up with fuel.

Yep, all livestock feed now topped up. Worst case scenario I'll let the girls into the garden; I can set up some additional netting. That'll keep them happy. Lots of flour in house, along with yeast. Not sure there is much else I can do. Helmets polished and clean and flak jackets checked for moth damage.....!
there will be shortages but not next week more like next year, Ukraine (and Russia) are big exporters of Wheat although I think Britain imports a lot of flour from Canada-at least thats the main supplier of Spelt flour.
Corn is another but not human food its used for animal feed.
Aluminium too so there may be a shortage of cans.
we get 3% of our gas supplies from Russia-I assume that will stop because of the sanctions.
Time to revisit all medical supply’s and devices ....and updating OTC meds .....I can imagine a time coming fast where these things will become near impossible to get ........get familiar folks ! ....this applies to animals also !
