What have done towards your prep?

[Straight Shooter]

The final tally on the caned food found to be suspect 23 tins of these tomato’s were top , fruit , and the rest veg ….all things considered i an happy ! The dried stuff is holding up well in the Mylar bags ! And tight as a drum . Some dehydrated stuff needs to be used up within the next few months …that’s normal ! .

Called up to johns farm this morning and recovered his poly tunnel , spiked it all down ( through a 6x1 treated timber all around the floor skirt , 20 mm steel pipe with a hook welded to them ) it’s not going anywhere ! ) plus we put a net over the cover this was hung on a 6 mtr 20 mm steel tube both sides then tied off the the ground using some timber stakes sledged into the ground for good measure …. I made pasties Friday night we enjoyed them with a nice cup of tea when we took a break ! …..freed up the zippers with some WD40 he’s happy as a chocolate frog ! He made some raised beds so they were moved into the poly tunnel ready to fill .

I took up some sweet corn in tubs and some french beans,lettuce,leeks , and some cherry tomato’s he has not put his first early potatoes in yet …..so I think that’s a job for this coming Monday ( for his future sil ) I did drop the hint when I was leaving ….and he turned up …..” no problem ! Loud n clear ! “ and I know he will get it done ! One of the things I have noticed lately is how family members think you will go on forever working hard because you always have …..NO that’s not what really happens especially with preppers ….we are stubborn bastards who will not submit to to age catching up and sneaking up on us ……..until the time we have to that is and the realisation we have become a right miserable grumpy old fart ! .
