Re: Hello - Researcher interested in prepping
it's easier to po-po the ideas and believe that the zombie apocalypse will never happen. If you're betting man I'm happy to wager that we'll not have a zombie apocalypse. Ever. Now aliens..... absolute stinkers and for some reason all aliens have designs on human woman (the TV can't be wrong), they...

Re: Hello - Researcher interested in prepping
Hi Gary, I'm always happy to talk about prepping. To me everyone is a preper in their own way, have you seen how much kit parents with young children load into the car for a trip out, in industry we do risk assessments and we all know, from a very young age, how to dial 999.

For antibiotics to work they need to be targeted, this takes a complex test (for complex read expensive) to identify the correct antibiotic for the infection, so, unless you have something life threatening, t...

Re: Bug out bag
... Current bag isn't waterproof which requires everything being sealed in little plastic bags, likes lighters, matches and tablets etc. 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 i...
