Re: Getting organised
I'm much the same as Deeps I have a room for everything, shelves floor to ceiling all the way round.
up to you really what you stock, make sure you like it though nothing worse than having to eat stuff you dont like.

Re: Starting to think prepping might be a good idea...
As Deeps has pointed out its the basics you need to focus on at the start, lots of people get pulled into the "prepping sphere" thinking the worst is just around the corner. Chances are you have a lot more time than you think, but the basics are always important ...... Food, Water, shelter...

Re: BOB/GHB clothing for Britain.
Me too, Shocker, me too. Wool underlayer (Endicotts do a dirt-cheap Italian undershirt, I have several and they are very good, no connection etc.) then fleece layers to take off/put on. I've gone off wool jumpers, I have a couple but rarely wear them anymore as even cheap fleece is so good now. All...

Re: Prepping, relocation and moral dilemmas
It both scares the crap out of me and saddens me at the same time that we're still that pace or two from evolving past the 'tribal thing'.
