  • With today's news of US troops being attacked being plastered all over the media, it makes me think that things may escalate quicker than expected.

    I was calming down with my prepping. It just didn't seem worthwhile... Now, after losing my dear dad, and my hubby in hospital with complications after a small procedure went wrong, I feel the urgency brewing again. I've given myself a shake and I'm going to triple my efforts. The last 2 months have taught me, anything can and will happen. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. X

    German here as a voice of reason
    1. Ground is frozen so no farming currently
    2. Only 15% of food is actually farmed in Germany. 58% of crops are used as food for raising meat. They were protesting because about 2000 EUR per farm had been scratched in subsidies, but they weren't in the end.
    3. The president of the union of farmers is a lobbyist for the conservative party and big farming corporations
    4. They could just not deliver to Aldi, Lidl and the likes that keep prices low and hence cause unfair pay for farmers
    I'm sorry, but I don't have any understanding bone in my body, especially after looking up what German and EU subsidies some local farmers are being paid. A company that would need 50000Eur in subsidies to make an average 115000EUR...
    I chose to buy locally when I can, meat directly from farmers, milk, potatoes, apples as well because I want them to get the money not a supermarket, but I don't buy into their propaganda.
    Where is the news coverage of nurses and doctors being on strike for three months? And nurses in Germany don't make 100000 Eur a year
    So please take things with a grain of salt and use critical thinking skills. To me this is all about dividing society for politicians and lobbyists to divide and rule only benefiting the rich

      You have the brilliant brain. Yes, let's not have Christ and God's love for all human beings. Let's sit around and name everything and divide it up point fingers. Folks have hatred to for other human beings. I love your post. You're very very bright. Thank you. We need more bright thinkers and sharers. To know that as long as humans can have division against humans. Hate each other, than politicians and corporations make big money. Hatred sells. Love not so much, sadly. A money-hungry World. Obsessed with drinking and things. Not with taking good care of themselves and their own, so much. Wouldn't it be great if people were obsessed with loving each other and helping each other ? Yes, it would be great :-) You're the best post I've read in a very long time !!! Kudos and high five to you :-) thank you.

    So much going on that isn’t being reported in the uk media. Luckily a quick scan of different RUclips content gives us a good grounding (backed up by our own checking of the facts) but how can the public not be told about what is actually going on. Keep prepping everyone. New raised beds going in this week. “Dig for Victory” 😀

      You are spot on, so much going on but it isn't reported here, we're only told what they want people to know. So staying informed is down to our own research to try to glean a fuller picture. It's important that we do find out what's going on, because no one can make an informed decision about being prepared if they've no idea what's happening, or they've got their head in the sand. Best of luck with your raised beds!👍

      I have a stockli dehydrator. You can prize it from my cold dead hands. Its one of the best things I have ever bought. Most things do at 80 degrees for around 12 hours,allow pieces to cool before gathering up to store. Cheese grated I think I did at 30degrees until it was hard,then cooled between kitchen towel to absorb surface oils. Store in a jar in a cold dark place. Once the pieces shrink you can move them to the lower trays. The less trays on,the quicker it is. I even dried egg on mine,but not very successful unless you have some way of reducing it to powder.
