Re: Has anyone heard of this site/business?
It's got the registered pharmacy number at the bottom which means it's a legit business. Usually you get what you ask for in terms of meds, but at an extortionate price. I don't know what the rate is on this website but your looking at about 20p for a pharmacy to buy a box of amoxicillin so when yo...

Re: What is HAM radio used for?
The standard licence free PMR446 radios that you can buy everywhere are handy, I have a set that I use while hunting, they're limited to half a watt of output, but anyone can use them. They're very good for communicating between opposite sides of a field without yelling and scaring everything off. ...

Re: What is HAM radio used for?
From what I've learnt (may not be 100% correct): HAM radio runs special frequencies outside of the range of normal off-the-shelf 2 way radios, which you need a licence to use. There are clubs which will help you take and pass the test. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/manage-your-licence/radiocommunication...

Re: Bug out bag
Don't know if you'll be able to get a hundred percent waterproof bag, at least not for a reasonable price but you can get dry bags to put in the rucksacks. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Karrimor-Drybag-Bag-Litres-Orange/dp/B00I91WM80/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1505852621&sr=8-2&keywords=dry+bags...

Re: Bug out bag
I don't think I've ever had a waterproof bag, rain proof-ish perhaps, if you fall while crossing a stream then water will get into your bag no mater how good it is. Personally I use lots of bin bags and some tupperware. Speaking from experience, if you do fall into deep water you better be able to ...
