Prepper Land For Sale
I have 2.65 acres of woodland for sale in North Devon approx 10 miles nw of Dartmoor. It is mostly covered in Spruce trees approximately 10 years from harvest. There is a stone chip drive adequate for large vans. Currently there are 2 sheds, one 6x4ft and one 8x6ft on the drive plus there is a hidde...

Re: Hidden retreat?
I don't know if you've resolved your situation yet but I have built a hidden retreat myself so have some idea of the problems. I'd start with forest land, either rough uncleared land or some recent pine forest. Don't go for listed old growth land as it's more expensive and you're more likely to attr...

Re: Where to live post SHTF?
Castles were great 3 centuries ago , however a 360 excavator and a hammer attachment and the walls would be down . Drawbridge firebomb and wait . Strong gates large heavy truck or oxy acetyline . Your castle is just the same as a bunker but bigger and more than likely on the horizon . Good idea but...

Re: Where to live post SHTF?
An actual castle is probably just going to be a big target and would need hundreds of people. In the event I'm forced to bug out / become a refugee, I'd head for a fortified house, or a small stately home that could be fortified. I've thought the same in the past but surely a fortified house is mer...

Re: Where to live post SHTF?
What would make you think the caretakers and staff would not have the same goal as yourself, to use their work space as a defense. Plus they are used to working together, know each other and know the strengths and weaknesses of the structure. And many of the owners were in the forces as officers by...

Re: Where to live post SHTF?
Assuming it all pans out as you describe it, I would guess there will be a time lapse to get your happy band of preppers ready to rock as soon as the arse drops out of things. I think you might struggle to muster enough 'like minded' people, not just preppers, but preppers on the same wavelength as...

Where to live post SHTF?
I’m just running scenarios through in my mind and would like to test the ideas on this forum- maybe find the flaws in my logic. Assume economic disaster- Deusche Bank goes down (very possible) causing contagion throughout the banking system. Cash points don’t work so no access to cash. Food shops em...
