Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

Went for a fitness walk this morning, and used it to check on emergency evac route on foot towards my sister's house. Local conditions change continually - since I moved here 14 years ago (!) my town has increased from 25,000 to 40,000, and a lot of it is between sister and I, grrr. Found a nice cut...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

How I understand! :( Age,health etc makes such a change to what used to a life of absolute freedom and strength! My personal illness doesn’t help,but when the lads came round for a brew we all talked about our ages and physical work we all agreed that it has knackered us! :lol: That’s the truth. Ou...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

That sounds like a nice wee break you had. Preps here are to make huge changes to my expectations I think. Today we went to Peebles, lovely wee town we've been going to for donkey's years for the good boutiquey-type shops, loads of cafes and nice walks down by the river. We lasted two hours. It was...

Re: New here

Welcome. Speaking of panic, I was just reading this excellent article How to survive a disaster https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20150128-how-to-survive-a-disaster Article cites a fire that killled 55 on the runway at Manchester Airport in 1985. Biggest killer is inaction. It's a sort of passive ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

I've been away for a few weeks. Malta, a first and last for me. I got in the door at midnight on Monday night, and I now have only one more round of washing to do :lol: victory! Sincerely glad that WWIII didn't break out when I got over there :? My garden, of course, has exploded into life, mostly ...

Re: New here

Welcome to the forum! The above posters have given you great advice. There are two things I'd add: - if you buy anything at all (a torch, a manual sewing machine, whatever) practice on it before you buy anything else. I had some solar lights sitting in my wardrobe for six months before I tried to ch...

Re: Death by sheep

I hadn't seen that :( but it makes me think of Matt Baker's mum when he and his family moved into his parents' farm temporarily as she broke a leg looking after her sheep. There were a couple of seasons of programmes about the farm during lockdown and the aftermath. She's an experienced shepherd too...

Re: Preparing for war

Welcome to the forum, Pingu. I've been on this forum a long time, but I don't think I've have replied "water" to the question you were faced with - good for you! I've got a couple years yet before the main foundations of this plan get brought into action so would love to hear any advise ab...

Re: In the event of nuclear war...

I can see where people are coming from, from all sides :? I suppose I have a bit of a flow chart myself, like Shrews. 1. small incident - Chernobyl in France etc. I want to survive. 2. limited actual nuclear attack, which gets stopped. I want to survive. 3. big attack. I want to survive long enough ...
