Re: Blacking out the windows when dark

When I was studying in the middle east, I had a few months when my classes were 6-9pm then I was working until about 4am, so I slept during the day. Problem was just when I wanted to go to bed, the sun would rise up and blast through my windows which were wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling. And with the...

Re: Legal Self defence in the home

As far as I'm aware, the laws changed somewhat fairly recently, allowing homeowners more "freedom" in the defence of their own home (I believe it was after someone was sent to prison for beating an intruder with a cricket bat?). Sadly, it's still the grey area of "reasonable force&quo...

The emergency escape.

Probably not an option if you're on foot - weight and size just doesn't make it worth it, but will you be taking an emergency escape? I know that if the SHTF, I'll be taking a bottle of Peroni, because I know there'll be a time at some point over the coming months when I'll need it. Or maybe as a li...

Re: New prepper, introducing myself. Take a read if you like

Maybe it might be worth rereading my OP, but imagine a much more casual voice tone haha! I'm not hardcore at all, and while I think what I said is true, it probably won't affect my generation much. I'm simply a "just in case" guy. Not trying to take on board anything, just considering thin...

New prepper, introducing myself. Take a read if you like.

Hi everybody, just wanted to introduce myself here - I'm not so much of a "harcore" prepper as I'm sure many of you are, in fact it's a very small part of my life. When I just started my teenage years, I made very ambitious and almost far-fetched plans for my career, and I've stuck to thos...
