What have done towards your prep?

[BeardyMan]

I've been busy. Working on increasing my fat reserves and winter blubber layer. Then I've been hard at work being ill along with my boy, and I also broke my car. Great start to the New Year.

Get well soon beardy

yeah same here, get better soon BM

[I-K-E]

after a month of not doing much on the preps due to christmas we started up again

got a month worth (4.5kg) of rice for the stores and the other half will be picking up some wire wool to make homemade oxygen absorbers up in the next day or so. She also spotted something on facebook and we've ended up with a second hand 4 man tent (need a little work), two camping tables, a cooking station (bench with fold out side tables) a windup lantern that can also be charged in car, a single burner gas cooker and a slightly dinted kettle. All for 50 quid. The last two things will be stuck in the shed as backups as we have these already and if the other stuff doesn't work out then I don't mind at that price it was worth a gamble.

with a little TLC we should have some useful things for the family car camping holidays planning to a fair bit to get the little one outdoors ....... when she gets older we plan on taking her on walking camping type trips

Whoops. I put in a "Best Offer" on a Camels BFM backpack. Really nice bit of kit. Wasnt expecting it to be accepted, or at least not so quickly. Put the offer in and it came back instantly! So now I've got to find an extra £90.
Ordered some celox earlier too.
