Re: Prepping for barter
I thought femine hygiene products, shaving gel and razors and baby food and milk, nappies and wet wipes would be good bartering items. If SHTF and I couldn't get hold of milk for my baby I'd do anything. All well and good having breast milk but if you can't breast feed or express your FUBARD. Also i...

Re: If money was no object...
I'd buy a large nuclear bunker, fit it out as a community place, and then people could barter for a secured place in it as their Bug Out Location, skill set rather than money being the barter currency, allowing us to set up a prepper community that was ready to roll, plus the above ground are would...

Re: Hello from North Lincs
JD, Welcome. I'm bipolar and it's taken me some time to separate the paranoid and the real need for prepping. Take it slow. Read lots. Think about what you're prepping for. For me it's mostly based around illness, income and keeping a roof over our heads. Hobo Thanks everyone for the welcome! Hobo,...

Re: Where would you start?
I'm in the same boat. Not sure where to start really. I have extremely full cupboards so providing nobody raided us if we were snowed in for a few weeks we would be fine for food as most of it can be eaten cold in event of power cut (although very depressing eating cold tinned beans in the cold!) I ...

(We will eat him first! j/k) What drives me to prep is that I've been in some dark holes I've struggled to get out of and I am determined to not be there again. I have a mental i...
