Di from Wild Harvest Rural Crafts Training just dropped me a line to say she is holding a Wild Food Walk in York on June 1st at 1030 and asked if any of us would be interested.

Chickens have been in place a week now. The second and third laid eggs on day two. So for most of the week we have been collecting three eggs a day. Three very diffirent eggs, large, a larger medium and medium.

One thing that I get asked a lot is what do I do about Nuclear survival, survival after an asteroid etc. Specific details on a specific subject. I usually ask them what they see as the answer and then work from there.

How much do I spend?

A very difficult question and one only you can answer.

We all have unique circumstances. Some of us can afford to buy everything we want at once. They can live a high life yet still put aside preps. Others can barely live day to day and only have time to invest in prepping, most of [...]
