Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

Funnily enough just bought an Jackery expansion Battery Pack (2000 Plus) as I got a 20% off coupon. That'll bring my storage up to 8KW from that system. Still need to get the required solar mounted on my roof. Too old to do it myself. My kit arrived today! Super quick as I only ordered it on Thursd...

Re: In the event of nuclear war...

Not just me thinking that way then? :lol: Nope. I was thinking of how and where I could go to. Along the coast to East Lothian? I wouldn’t fancy being close to Torness nuclear power station in the long term. Fife? Rosyth dockyard is where they build aircraft carriers and easily converted back to ho...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

Made a generator purchase! Jackery 500 Explorer and an 80 watt solar panel. Purchased from the Jackery UK Ebay store - 2 year warranty. Got the full set up for £416.00 which I thought was a pretty sweet deal. :mrgreen: Also ordered a load of compost which is being delivered Friday, so I can get a fe...

Just a laugh, I pressed ‘fairly well’ as I like to think I’m better prepared than most but you never can tell what would happen.
Bloody hell :lol: :shock:

Re: Large Quantity of Prepper Related Material.

If any members are interested in taking up your offer, then I recommend they contact you via message so that you can arrange the best way to provide them with the resources, it's not something we can facilitate on the forum itself.

Re: Wilko Collapse

Re the disability assessors, I have a former colleague/friend who went to work for one of the American companies, running the assessor contracts. It was good money with bonus (for guess what ?) But she went back to nursing in the end because it was depressing. The genuine cases were easy to refuse,...

Re: Power bank preps

I almost exclusively use Anker products. My latest power bank purchase was the Anker 337 Power Bank (PowerCore 26K) which charges mobile phones x 6 times or a tablet x 2 times. Usually retails at £56.99 but it's on offer again at the moment for £39.99 so I'm probably going to get another. :mrgreen: ...

Re: Deffence

OK I will take that under advisement. I joined this group for active conversations, so maybe it's not right for me here. Nobody has said you can't have an active conversation. We usually advise new members to read around the boards - it helps you to familiarise yourself with the feel of the communi...
