well folks update on corn grinder....great..great...great ! its working fine and really fast , i am over the moon, could run it with a pedal bike as a backup....so when the shtf and you all come down to wales... i will make the bread ! ... or bring your grain...i am the man to turn it into flour , will video and post shortly.... ordered gieger counter today.

Just finished adding a rather fetching paracord handle to my ALICE pack. Those things are a pain to move around without one.

Today has been a double victory for prepping here in L'Hotel Scythe13.

The wife asked if we could "Stock up on porridge oats to put with your tins" Guess whose thinking the right way now!!! Got 2 bags of oats stored now. Will probably get some more soon.

Mum has gone and bought herself her first camping stove and gas bottles (she's used to cooking on a gas stove and is cool lighting it with matches or a cigarette lighter) and has stocked up the cupboards "because, as you said, this winter could see us cut off from the shops and a regular food supply"!!!


YEAH!!!! DAMN RIGHT!!!!!

It's a GREAT feeling knowing that your family are starting to make provisions for themselves!!!

Today has been a big sigh of relief!!!

Built a set of shelves in garage from scratch.......the language was choice and my thumb is now very blue

Bought a paraffin heater and 2 paraffin lanterns, also some spare wicks and a paraffin camping stove.... only have a very small store of paraffin though!!! Need to find some at a reasonable price!!!!
Also recieved my 'metal match' that hooks onto a key ring... took a few attempts to get it to work, but now thinking of getting more!

100 tea lights, and a nice ten mile bike ride.

Nice ride distance MY.

Today was an easy one.

12 litres of bottles water, 60 tea lights. Nothing special, but well worth having.

£2 for 100tea lights in asda, not sure what the burn time on them is tbh, there cheap.

started to empty gas bottles today to make stoves...turned em upsidedown be ready by wed to swill out and start cutting, more rice,pasta,spag tins,peas,beans........had chat with daughter 2 .......up hill and hard work...but will keep on keeping on......don,t know bout you guys but i am speeding up ....when the money allows ....something is pushing me
