I put a tin can stashed with a few essentials at the allotment. If the house burns down, or the sky falls down, I have copies of stuff there.

Snagged a couple of 200l plastic barrels from my nephews workplace a while ago, he delivered them last night. They will become rain barrels at the allotment once I have rinsed out the Pineapple and...

Just make sure you don't do a Kyr and make a new floor covering with them!

I was thinking Kiwi fruit, Orange, Lemon, Peach, Apricot.... Oh the list is endless!

I dehydrated 2lbs mushrooms and the same of mixed veg. I also finally found somewhere over here sells oxygen...

Wow! OS, that's some serious glasshouse squarefootage! you know you could have yourself a major tropical fruit garden in there as well as veg crops. Oh and another thing, large water containers(black...

Well, it's great to see Survival Kitty after such a long time, and still doing what he does best. I like the idea of the rolll-up sunglasses.

Just dehydrated a couple of pounds of mixed veg for soup. Doing more tomorrow.

No I haven't, He never did step up to the plate I think he's scared of me:2:

Pssst, Any room for a caretaker? :blushing:

Yup we need pics OS! And congrats.

Put up some more canned tomato sauce. Crash has reminded me to order another cord of logs!
Oh, I think he's making woodchips, Rick. (But judging by the colour of the ones already there, I'm...

Started putting up produce. Froze some, canned and some dried some.

I don't think Crash was being sarcastic Lenny. Bugging in is simply staying at home instead of leaving(bugging out). Many of us here have planned to bug in rather than bug out. There are plenty of...

I worked in my garden today too! Got the compost bin moved. Turned the compost. Mulched Strawberries. I now have enough room for another raised bed.

Finished the mini BOB for the shed.

Finally located some canned whole milk powder with a good long shelf life so bought 3 for the stores. Also got some powdered coconut milk and more rice.

Got a few more bits for the second BOB. That is now finished and stowed away in the garden shed.

Late again, Many happy Returns, Mrs Rick!

I also installed the first of 4 waterbutts(rainbarrel?). It's a well known brand (Ward), I got it really cheap, £18.50 including the diverter! Now all I need is some rain:blushing:

I got these little gems from the pound shop today(dollar store?)
They're not fancy, or top quality but they work. I've had them out of the packets and for an emergency they will work just fine. ...

Finished remodelling the vegetable garden and got some canning jars for a good price at a charity shop.

How do you can butter? I've heard of this before, but not how to do it. Can you expalian please?:)

I ordered a dehydrator and vacuum sealer, Batteries were on offer at the supermarket so got a few extras. Forgot to buy spare fuel tabs for the Esbit(bad, very bad)
Checked use by dates on stuff in...
