I'm still quite unprepared even though I have been prepping a while now. It's due to a combination of lack of spare funds & also a wife who still isn't quite onside (although she is getting better).
I have alternative heating (for a short while) in the way of calor gas heater & 2 full 15kg bottles + the bottle being used in the heater now. Alternative cooking via camping stove & 4 camping gaz large bottles (3 full, 1 part used). Also numerous packs of hexy blocks & hexy stoves & also the stove kindly given from beardyman via his gift it idea. Got myself 350 (if I remember correctly) tealight candles plus 4 x poundland lanterns so there isn't the naked flame in the open where kids are. Various torches, headlights, lanterns (battery powered & paraffin) plus tons of spare batteries in various sizes for torches & headlights.
Foodwise I have about 2 weeks of tins for 4 people if we stretch it out plus whatever is in the kitchen cupboards, fridge & freezer. This is my major weakness as my wife doesn't see the point in stocking up, despite all I've told her & shown her. I plan on getting more but I need places to stash it.
Bit of a wait for the results but I also do a lot of growing veg, however my seeds are hybrid types so once gone, I'm buggered. I've got all the associated gardening tools, pots & composter as well to help for this.
Water - got the bathtub, pans & 2 x 25l jerrycans (plastic for water). Planning on installing at least 1 water butt during the course of the year. Ideally I'd like 3 or 4 as I garden as mentioned above. Does anyone know how long commercially bottled water is good for if stored in a cool dark place?
Right now if anything major was to happen then to put it bluntly, I'm screwed
I reckon I need another year at least to be ready to attempt to face any situation but ideally longer.
