Wow, you're really prepared to put your faith in the stupidity of others like that? You're braver than me. I thought the whole point of being a prepper was to be ahead of the game so that you didn't have to chase around with everyone else.
Hey ho.

no not really, but we live in a tiny..and i do mean TINY modern 2 bed semi detached housing association house and there just isnt any storage, what storage there is is full up, there is no where for anything more to go, the rooms in this house are tiny, we worked out if we had a 40ft by 15ft mobile home we would have more floor space than we have in this house, we've got an alcove in the hall where we store all our tins, milk and flour, the cupboard under the stairs is full, the spare bedroom is full of spare clothes, spare jackets, my stock of toilet rolls and the clothes drier, we've got 2 freezers full of fresh meat and fruit and there is absolutely NO MORE ROOM for any more stuff!!!

I want to be ahead of the game and still be able to have a loaf.
How much do you store of the Wessex Mill seeded flour BP?
I'm interested in best end product at cost effective price too! I'm really interested to know what your experimentation is going to show up as I can only prep by being frugal!

i buy wheat grains from (dovesfarm.co.uk ) £17.00 for 25k sack a good way to store long term(upto 25 years ) use maylar bags ( the 5 k type ) with oxy absorbers you can get these from (fresherpack.co.uk) to seal the bags use a household iron its easy!!! do not over fill bags!!! you will need 8 bags for 25k sack. Both these companys are great to deal with . hope this helps folks

if you cannot store much food, go for army rations, easy to stoor, lasts ages, and doesnt taste too bad. I would say have at least a 3 week suply of them, they can be kept in a suitcase, under the bed ect

i reckon we've got 6 months worth of food stored, if i ever find the person who designed these houses(1990's) i will ring his neck!!

I have 40 pound of wheat in the house and have a Corona grain mill. Probably in August or September I will be ordering 50 Kilo's more. For Survival it is recommended that you should store 300 pond of wheat per person, per annum. With all the extra work that you will have to do, you will need this amount. Most preppers will need to work from sunrise to sunset. There will be other chores to be carried out in the dark of the evening too. Kenneth Eames.

if we can get someone to redesign the alcove/pantry we can get more stuff in, at the moment its about as full as it could possibly be, what we need is better shelving than is there at the moment( we are using old bookcases as shelves and its not as successful as it might be).it needs someone better than me at carpentry.

Lol, when you find one send him to me, my biggest problem is my lack of decent DIY skills. I can get the basics done, and am pretty good with a paintbrush, but even using the measure twice, cut once mantra, I can still manage to Bu**er it up!
