Re: Bunker coming up for sale

There are plenty of these ROC posts around the country, and they're not much more than a buried concrete container, I really wouldn't want to spend more than a day in one of them, and i'll bet in the event of a bomb drop you'd be knackered anyway, the filtration would be woefully out of date and i'l...

Re: Really pleased with myself - water preps

Depending on where they're stored it might be worth filling them and adding a few steri-tabs to keep it from going stagnant or getting algae growth. Are they the black containers or clear?

Re: Spare/emergency cash carrier

Had one of these for ages now but I can only afford to put a fiver in mine :cry: , also I would be scared to put a £20 in there in case it fell off the set of keys or came unscrewed, but I agree they are brill. Would it make sense to use some PTFE tape on the threads to stop them opening by acciden...

Spare/emergency cash carrier

A small prep I did a few weeks ago that's already come in handy! A pack of five small waterproof aluminium containers from China via ebay, like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Keyring-Tablets-Medicine-Container-Pill-Box-Aluminium-Key-Chain-Drug-Holder-/150701384541?hash=item231680a35d:g:ULwAAOxy...

Re: Bug out method

I've seen a lot of people doing overland travels on cycles using the pull-behind sleds, the B.O.B and oxtail ones are good, and at one point a few years ago i made one to attach to the back of a cycle, used the angle aluminium from an old greenhouse, a few nuts/bolts/rivets, some old plywood and som...

I know a couple of people who have retail shops, and both have said they're think...
