    Hi folks from across the pond

    Looking forward to learning plenty of new things on what looks like a very cool site.

    Have prepped in a low key way since 2010 but nothing on the vast scale of some here

    Garage converted into long term food storage area
    Have electric and manual grain mills and a dehydrator
    75kg of wheat, spelt and rye grains
    Plenty pasta, beans and pulses
    Plenty of tinned food
    Plenty of frozen meat, fish and fresh vegetables
    I make nutritious sauerkraut
    Rainwater collection into a water butt
    Lifesaver Bottle filter
    Looking to buy or make a water distiller
    Grow vegetables
    and other stuff

    My passion is making artisan bread which I think will be a useful skill in a SHTF scenario.
    Good for a staple food and also a useful trading item.

    See my album for the kind of breads I make.

    Currently making sourdoughs for my neighbour during the Covid lockdown.

    Guessing others here may also have bread making skills but if not this is something I bring and can contribute to the community here. AMA.

    Cheers

    Good start, bread man. With that stuff in the garage, you should be good for few minutes. But I'd be inclined to put some of it in a box right by the door, just in case. (And a rented shed on the other side of town might not be out of line for half of it.)

    [feedmods] Well, yes, you can, they don't eat much.
