How stocked is your store cupboard

I still have my ration book!
We also have a generator as we are totally electric and have a two burner camping stove which has a grill. We have a small stock of water as we have had our water supply disrupted a few times and although bottled water is eventually provided it can take a while.
I was a Girl Guide when it was properly "Be Prepared" and I do like to have sufficient 'stocks' available for the days when I am not able. Sensible is what I call it.

and, apparently, there is no gas or electricity so we couldn't boil the water anyway MamaCaz!

Lack of water would be the main problem, so I suppose we would have to use the rainwater.

Ah, but we have a generator, and also an open fire on which we could use coal (if lucky enough to have a spare bag or two at the right time) or wood to both cook and keep warm

I will get DH started on digging a bore hole in the garden.

Water wouldn't be a problem. We would only need to dig down a few feet and we would hit the water table and there is a small stream about 30 yards away. The village is riddled with small streams and a reasonable sized brook.

I think, what I describe as squirrelling away, rather then hoarding is genetic. My aunt was a squirreller and so is DD. However the gene skipped me and I am a chucker outer.
Squirrellers are also more selective, my DA squirrelled almost anything domestic; food, cleaning materials, medical supplies. Around 2000 when we were emptying her house we found drawers with bandages wrapped and dated to WW2.

DD squirrels craft materials. She has equipment, which she does use, for almost every domestic craft, from 19th century sock knitters to felting and one of the advantages, she noted when she bought her house, 12 years ago was the huge loft, which now has a solid purpose built ladder and is decked out with shelving to store all her materials and much more.

I wonder if this 'hoarding' gene tends to skip a generation? My DM was a 'chucker outer' and I am reluctant to do so; DMIL was a hoarder and DH tends to chuck out clothes etc - buy one, throw one (but the garage is still full of 'useful bits'.

DD squirrels craft materials. A girl (or woman) after my own heart!!

M0nica it was once explained to me that actually crafting, and buying and organising materials to craft, are in fact two separate hobbies.

I am very very good at one but strangely bad at getting round to the other...

I can well believe it.
