What have done towards your prep?

Ah, I see. Still be interested in the calorie count if u know it? Ive got 18 of the multi climate rat packs left - I think they're pretty much the same?

Anyway, just got some very strange looks putting 110th litres of veg oil thru the checkout in tesco then going back to fill another trolley with tins. Just in case thats my prep for the day.

What's the calorie count on the mountain house meals? I think in terms of price VS calorie count that you're better off with tesco basic stuff

its for my BOB as im not bugging in if tshtf, and ill be travelling on foot to my BOL where i have my main cache of supplies, so its just a lightweight food which i can easily carry, also have some wayfarer meals which aren't too heavy and can be eaten cold

Had a major sort out in the garage and got more firewood cut and stacked, filled jerrycans, fitted two new metposts in the back garden and started major review of food stocks.

My mate offered me an allotment right near his house on Saturday. It's a double sized one, so we're combining the three together to make one massive one. So when it's all sorted I'll be down there with the rotorvator to turn it all over. Just need to find a shed to stick on it now - something to bury the preps under and somewhere to relieve oneself if the need arises.

Food is my main concern rigjt now, need to buy so much just major lack of funds.
