What have done towards your prep?

Modded some Alinco 2m transceiver antenna's yesterday. Now at 19inches long, they are the correct length ratio to frequency. Now just to test them soon.

Yes & no - mine are an older model. DJ-S11. Can be had quite cheap. Very low power but v.good quality for a cheaper branded handheld. Low power can be overcome by modding the antenna. See this site link, from page 13 :-

Bought some more food. Picked up a bit from Skean's list to suit my needs. Nothing major in terms of quantity. (certainly not the 15 months!) But I now have a lot more tinned soups, rice, honey, pasta, crackers, condiments, cereals, tinned meats (assorted), canned milk, tinned fruits etc to go with my existing similar supplies. Probably a couple of months worth. (I would hope anyway)

I've also picked a second hand single camping stove and some butane to go in the cupboards.

Also finally took some of the items out of my first aid kit and worked a few wound dressings, eye patches, alcohol wipes, plasters, mixed meds (lemsips, paracetamols, ibuprofen, constipation, diarrhea, hay fever tablets etc and the like into a small first aid kid that I've attached to my EDC bag.
