I've never seen or tasted Kendal mint cake but all the preppers seem to use it.

It's mint-flavoured sugar

I like it and don't  find it too sweet. You sometimes see it near the tills in shops like Go Outdoors. The brown is the nicest in my opinion.

I like the brown too. I bought my DP a mixed box for Christmas as a silly present and he popped some in the car in his emergency bag.

I was raised on Kendal Mint Cake, based on the story of Tiger Tensing and  Edmund Hillary eating it on the way up Mt Everest. (You can guess my age) You can buy it in a neat little tin, good for all sorts of prepping stores.
I do still have most of my teeth.

OH’s family are from Kendal and visits always seem to result in us acquiring some. We always keep some in the car in case of emergency 😊

@euronorris oh my goodness the bit with the little girl at the start 😭 it was imo a good film but would I watch it again.... No! I've put myself though it once won't be making that mistake again and it was to late to watch something happy afterwards so was fighting meteors in my sleep and woke up exhausted, then the day rapidly went down hill, thank goodness no school run tomorrow I absolutely hate it.  

I first tried Kendal mint cake at Birmingham Christmas Market it's reasonably priced and pure yumminess, I will be hiding it from the children!

I was looking at rucksacks today mountain warehouse have a 'sale' or pretend sale with some good prices, do you think they will be naff quality? I'm thinking a 65l  or the 65l + 20l for DH and 40l for me based on a family of 5 with 3 children of no stamina for Bob bags/holidays if they ever happen again.
