RE: What have done towards your prep? - Scythe13 - 16 May 2014

Surely it would be like storing them in a cooker at low heat, loft spaces can easily reach 50 degree C in the summer months. This is one of the reasons for positioning Air Source Heat pumps in loft voids.

Such heat could (I guess??) easily spoil your food over a matter of months.
This is a common misconception.
Our prepper neighbour has loads of food in her loft and it's been up there nearly 10 years. She popped up the other day to get some down and it was good as new!
The only thing she recommends is to store it all in big plastic tubs. The idea is that if you have anything that can freeze and break it's container, you don't want it leaking everywhere....makes sense. Having said that, in the 10 years, she's never had anything freeze up there, but it was recommended by a friend who apparently did.
Not 100% sure I'll be doing that. Maybe just put it all into a trough style shelf so if anything does get broken and leak, it'll run into the trough. But I really don't see that happening, to be fair.

ideal storage is cool/dark.....a loft space is only dark...I'd use a loft space for non food only(tools/clothes/spares)

Girl at work has offered me a LOAD of plants, like courgettes, beans, sweetcorn, and the alike! WOO! Nice one. She knows I collect the tea bags for the compost bin, so it's good to let people know some of your interests. Otherwise she would have just thrown them into the compost, she said.
Looks like I'm getting a load of stuff, around 20+ plants apparently.

nice one Scythe, nothing wrong with FREE stuff.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - Scythe13 - 21 May 2014
Am I the only one prepping here? Nobody seems to be chatting about what they're up to, haha.
New spotting scope arrived today! Oh my goodness! Did someone say that 60x was a good idea? Thankfully it's variable, but I can see the eye colour of a pigeon from 100 meters away, with maximum zoom! Crazy!!!
