Beginner here - does this sound like a reasonable stockpile?

[mmmgoats]

I've always liked to have a fair bit extra in, but thanks to MN I decided to get really organised and ensure I'm covered for (hopefully) every eventuality. It's actually really helped my anxiety as I feel a bit more in control.

Just wondered if anyone could take a look and see if this sounds reasonable prep wise, basically just got extra of what we normally eat in (for three of us) - feel like I'm missing obvious things!

Now I've written it all down, I probably sound a bit OTT? But the snow last year really made me see I needed more in, especially if we get hit with a power cut around the same time [I know I can't 100% rely on my freezer stores but I like to have it stocked incase we get ill/can't get out for a few days or i'm too lazy to think about what to eat!]
Do you think I've missed anything obvious?

Not quite sure why you decided to come on over to the prepper topic then Rhythm.

I've explained my reasoning in my previous posts - not sure what there is not to understand?

Then leave the threads then

What is it with arseholes on Mumsnet lately?

@bellinisurge I didn't use the term 'remoaner'. I am a remain supporter so why would I? The latest influx of prepping threads are because of Brexit, one look at the preppers topic clearly shows that. My issue is that some people are clearly doing it as a hobby with some humour which is fine but it is obviously causing other people real worry and anxiety that there will be some huge apocalyptic event.

Let's assume that the activity on this thread came up and @RhythmStix assumed it was a conversation about Brexit.
It isn't.

That answer makes sense! Thanks!

@nerrsnerr agreed about the anxiety, but I find prepping for all events personally for me relieves my anxiety :)
I wouldn't want to cause anyone undue worry, but at the same time, don't want to not post about something I quite enjoy and see as being organised just because it might upset someone.
If we did that, there'd be no threads left on MN - especially in AIBU

@NerrSnerr - this topic has been here for ages. Just as Camping or Home Education or whatever niche area has been a topic for ages.
If you ask a question on it, it's kind of assumed you've made a decision to get more into it.
It's not about preaching.
FWIW, I've posted on a lot of threads about Brexit and told people as politely as I can to calm the fuck down.

@mmmgoats true. I will leave the preppers to the threads. I have been unfair really as this isn't as scary mongering as some of the prepping threads I have seen, it just happened to be the one I was on today.

@bellinisurge I know it's been here a while, I just meant it's had an upsurge of threads since the whole Brexit prepping thing. Anyway, each to their own. Hopefully not too many mumsnetters are worrying about how to make their paycheque spread to extras when reading these threads. That was my concern.

RhythmStix’s point is ludicrous

I remember her on a Boden thread.

So I ask you... why spend your money on Boden why you could buy from a charity shop and the money you save you donate to a homeless charity.

It’s ridiculous. Your point is ridiculous. Prepping does not mean that you then don’t donate to charity. Likewise, buying from Boden does not mean that you then don’t donate to charity.

Oh gosh I just don't know where to start. I think we have an old camping stove somewhere.

@nerrsnerr it's a fair point - I think the surge is natural after recent articles and I too hope it doesn't create worry and panic for people who don't have the space or income to prepare if they feel like they need to. But our very own @bellinisurge has been popping her head into Brexit prep panic threads and giving very level headed panic free advice, so not all preppers are getting whipped up into a state of frenzy. :)

But prepping by nature is very divisive I think. You either have that way of thinking or you don't - just like some people iron their pants which I will never understand horses for courses I s'pose!

@caribbeanyesplease I once got chided by another poster for posting about ordering a takeaway. Apparently that made me a vile, self-indulgent consumer who was practically ripping food out of homeless peoples' hands. All because I fancied crispy shredded beef one night after a particularly bad week!

I once got “shouted” at because I should be over the moon with my maintenance arrangement and that I had “more than enough to live on”.

Zero grasp some mumsnetters

@carribeanyesplease rude of you obviously. Self-indulgent.

Mmmmm crispy shredded beef

It’s very tedious when people who have no interest in prepping come to the prepping board to take a pop at us. Why would any decent person do that? Does it make them feel superior?

Anyhow....I really fancy a Kelly kettle for camping....

@bellinisurge I did accidentally derail my own thread haha. And now I too want crispy shredded beef. If only there was a way to incorporate this into my prep stores!!

I must the why post. Zombie apocalypse ?

See now @mmmgoats , I'm thinking about marinating beef, shredding it and dehydrating it, maybe some dehydrated kale from the garden , a bottle of soy sauce, some rice ......
Ok, I digress. A lot

@confusedmummy76 - unclear (and possibly confused ). Are you asking why prep? Or why ask?

Yeah wondering why peep. Sorry my other message got auto changed with this phone

"You ate not a prepper".

Very true caribbean: I have never eaten a prepper nor any other human being. Having read 'The Road' and other dystopian literature however, I can say with confidence that ,post Armageddon, all preppers and non preppers alike will be fair game once the tinned stuff runs out

Well @confusedmummy76 . Everyone is different. I've trotted out my reasons on AMA. But here they are again...
I had a terrible maternity experience and discovered the hard way that no help was available . Once I recovered, I started thinking about resilience. Simple stuff like enough food if I couldn't get to the shops.
I have MS - planning is what I have to do for me and my family in case I'm not in a position to look after us.
We get snowed in a lot despite living in suburban Manchester. It was extra fun when dd was a newborn.
We also get power outs a lot.
For non emergency but the usual daft reasons , our freezer has gone down 3 times - three different freezers! Sod's law applied in all 3 cases.
My late mum's town had contaminated water and we had to get water bottles in for her. This was fun when I had to take her to A&E - they only had emergency bottles too. This was 21st Century UK.
Everyone has their story and their reasons and their experiences.
I don't believe in zombies. I do believe in planning for likely problems or relatively likely problems.

You might be a bit too gristly for my liking without any stores @RhythmStix
the downside is us preppers are going to be nice and fat and juicy, I s'pose.
