What have done towards your prep?

[Pete Grey]

We have a second freezer, it’s been very useful during the pandemic allowing us to cut down on our shopping trips. We also have a generator, s/h cost just £50 last year, running a couple of hours a day we have fuel for a month or so.

Living on the edge of a town we would be careful of the noise but I could soon knock up a frame to fit around the genny and we have several spare duvets for sound insulation.

We could also use the fridge in the camper, remove the freezer compartment door and turn up to the highest setting, run on 12V solar power, absorption type fridge, no motor so no power surges, nice steady current required.

In a SHTF no power situation before the genny our intension was to cook food as it defrosted or salt it if we could, like most preppers we have a good stock of salt, however that should not be necessary now.
