The Prepping Thread - A Newer Beginning ;)

No reason you can't take a stainless steel teapot, is there DFV? They are light and fairly unbreakable, and mine seems to make nice tea.

Haven’t got one - will prowl charity shops! OK my antenae are sharper for Denby but a droppable teapot could still work fine...

And now to test prepping in the field. As in the Dig family go camping. I have already been told “No teapot” & am thinking charity shops as soon as tent pitched....
Possibly with extra two pint billycan if Himself seriously means only boiling one pint. Has he learned nothing from last time? (We came home with bonus teapot & large mug, both china...)

Do what I do, accidently pack an extra kettle and use that. I have a small collapsible one with a stainless base that is good for the job. not as good as a porcelain one but it suffices. You have been told 'no teapot' . kettles do not come under that description.


Then again, Fresh charity shops are always worth exploring

Remembering when I was wee ( back in the mists of time when dinosaurs roamed Scotland) - you used to see old watchmen sitting in their hut guarding building sites etc and they all had a wee fire with a tin can on a bit of wire hanging over the fire boiling up water for the tea..

Look - Florida prepping in the news shows people boarding windows & buying pallets of bottled water.

As a champion slacker in the prepared for tomorrow’s cup of tea stakes, I am finally taking notes & contemplating serious water storage!

Oh yes & not camping - windspeeds faster than tent rated for. Will prowl for an extra kettle though!

Interesting article this morning on Zerohedge:

Interesting to read the head office address of all those companies funding different movements.

I am seriously considering buying in a stainless steel gravity fed water purifier filter with ceramic filters and some spares of the ceramic filters at that. We have a spring fed brook just across the road from the front of the house so the water is readily available and although the initial outlay for the purifier will be relatively high I think it will be a better way of getting clean drinking water than using up wood fuel and boiling it.

I feel that after the parliamentary fun and games of this morning and presumably from now onwards the feelings from both sides of the fence are going to run vey highly and volatility in the population will increase very quickly. On the Brexit thread we already have comment about free speech and political views so I think we are at the dawning of 'more than usually troubled times' where it will be wise perhaps not to express a view of any political type in public or it would appear on the mse threads or possibly anywhere. We are a rudderless ship adrift in uncharted territory and I feel that old map warning of 'Here be Dragons'
may as of today have a great deal of validity!

All is very calm up here, we voted to leave but we don't seem to be rabid about it. It will all settle in time, but at least it has exposed many at Westminster for the useless shower they are. I hope people remember that.

My Parliamentary Muppet has voted against the government and has consistantly campaigned against B***** long after we, their constituents, voted t'other way.



Since my Muppet clearly has no use for democracy, I shall bear their attitude in mind when the next chance comes along to exercise the old cross-in-the-box. I really hope to be doorstepped by canvassers in the run up, so that opinion can be passed on through channels.


The Muppet better have their CV updated and hope their contacts are good, because their name is mud in this constituency and has been for years now. I expect to see a change of seat-warmer in the future.


Sadly, no matter who one votes for, politicians always seem to get in........ :rotfl:
