I had to phone NHS 24 last Sunday as my glands on my neck blew up like balloons, headache and such like. An hour later, I was down at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary getting an emergency appointment with the GP as they were wanting to check me for meningitis! I knew it wasn’t that, but I have some sort of...

Interesting factoid. I think there’s more coos in the North Island, certainly in the Mooloo which is Waikato (south of Auckland) as there’s more money to be made from coos.

New Zealand lamb though is outstanding not that we would know these days, it all goes to China or the Middle East.

Cheers Andy. The power bank is only really for a phone and maybe a couple of other electrical things. I got all this for a bit of camping I was going to do when I had my wee sadly departed pup but never really got round to it, it doubles up very easily. I might put my tent up as well to give it an a...

I have a ‘what if?’ bag in the attic, I refuse to call it a ‘bug out bag’ for various reasons but it is more or less the same thing. I’m going to bring it down and go through it to make sure everything is working in it. Happy to take advice for the stock. So spare winter clothes. First aid kit. Port...

Thanks. I'll read up on Irpin and Bucha. I take it you mean military suppression and intimidation by an overpowering invader, rather than societal breakdown. You are right of course. The unarmed are helpless when the armed take control, whether that's invading army, or local warlords. Bad men do ba...

Society would in fact, break down. You see it in the Ukraine and what happened in Israel. Wipe away the very thin veneer of civilisation and we are no better than the Crusaders, sacking the city of Antioch. I'm not saying it won't or doesn't happen, but I haven't seen reports of food riots or socie...

One that's repeatable in polite company was a group of blokes down my sisters street surrounded a group of teenagers who thought it'd be fun to go down her road tipping the wheelie bins over and convinced them that it'd be a mighty good idea to go put the bins back upright my sister looked out seei...

Apparently we are providing a laser system to the Ukraine to shoot down missiles. It’s meant to be 80% ready in terms of testing and it needs a steady source of electricity for it to work but if you want to test it against Russian ballistic missiles, where better than there just now! If successful, ...

It’s something I can’t really do much about therefore my prepping tends to be more sedate if that makes sense. Do I have a 72h bug out bag? Yes. Do I have a GOOD plan? Again yes. But that’s more to just get out of Edinburgh for a few days rather than an ITEOTWAWKI situation. It’s probably going to b...

That’s a very good point about relations. Now all of my family live down under in Oz and NZ. I’ve lived there myself and have good friends in the South Island, it would be the natural place for ‘me’ to head to. But all of my wife’s family live in and around Edinburgh. She wouldn’t want to leave her ...
