Re: Geiger counters
Guess no one cares that we've all be exposed to dangerous levels of radiation since the day we were born due to excessive nuclear testing. Yes we are all doomed. I have only made it to 67 and actually fear that I will live longer than my pension. My mom is only 92. My Dad made it to 80 and died in ...

Re: New guy from Essex
Hi there and welcome to the forum. I'd just like to echo what Deeps said and emphasise that skills are definitely more important than gear, although not to say that gear isn't important, it definitely is! It sounds like you've already got a lot going for you. If you've any questions feel free to ask.

Re: Geiger counters
For the most part it is already too late. There have been over 2000 nuclear bombs set off as air borne tests by the USSR, USA, France and Britain since 1945 in addition to the two relatively 'small' bombs in comparison dropped on Japan. This has contributed to a massive spike in the Earth's backgrou...

Re: Growing Medicinal Herbs
Shocker - small world eh? I picked up the book off Amazon. Think I paid something like £8.50 for the kindle edition.
Sorry to hear you had to go through with that btw.

Re: Growing Medicinal Herbs
It's a skill set I'm looking to develop. I recently purchased Hedgerow Medicine: Harvest and Make Your Own Herbal Remedies by Julie Bruton-Seal and I've found it to be a good read. It focuses on 50 commonly found herbs in the UK and list recipes and what they cure. There's some good painkillers, blo...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 4
I managed to pick up an old Rapid Hand Drill for £2 today at a second hand shop. Will need a good clean and some WD40 and I'll also have to buy some drill bits for it, but it was a bargain. Easily 50 years old and will probably last another 50 too. Dead simple design, made in England, no power neede...

Re: Helping the neighbours - in what situations....?
Woah, woah, woah! I'm not saying it's wrong to eat a balanced diet. You definitely should, nor is it a conspiracy either because if you think about it, every industry promotes itself. That doesn't mean they're being disingenuous, it just means they have an inherent bias just like everything else. Ea...

The free Aquamira filter product varies depending according to the value of your order! Bottles are included in the offer not just the straws as I thought.

Re: Helping the neighbours - in what situations....?
Man can not live by bunny alone. That's why they are good in a stew! ;) You put men in stews ????? Weird. :lol: The whole living off bunnies thing seems to have got a bit of a reputation. Its no worse than just eating lamb, or chicken or...you get the point. We're designed to eat veg as well, it do...
