Re: Survival tin
Arzosah, I think you are making out I'm in some way being negative towards these tins, but as I originally said I'm not. Not at all - looking at your post again, I think the phrase "comfort blanket" in this context might be looked at as being negative, but nothing else. I'm not really a f...

Re: Hello!
Welcome to the forum!
Since you're into solar (and its popular round here) why don't you describe what you're prepping for, and your domestic preps, without advertising, as itsy says

Re: Survival tin
I don't have a survival tin, and I don't have a comfort blanket: I have a laptop-carry sized case of useful stuff that will help me take care of myself and get me back as far as possible to my present status quo. The only tin I *do* have, contains a little sewing kit :mrgreen: Beatts, since you open...

Re: Safe haven
Great post, SW! Glad to have you aboard. You're right about natural disasters too, actually - everybody knows about flooding, now, more or less, but even the government's own list of civil emergencies includes some interesting ones - like volcanic hazards, which I ended up doing a fair bit of resear...

Re: Safe haven
Welcome! Great intro, and I love the name! Tho, since you're posting at that time, I really hope you're a shift worker :shock: What are you prepping for? I think you'll probably be with most peeps here, given your comment about the fragility of civilised society - a bad economic downturn that just g...

Re: Infected wound
That's a really good point about having enough stock in to change the dressing frequently enough. Never occurred to me to knit a bandage! 4 ply on no 2, 16 stitches. Me like. I have a couple of bottles of wound-oriented iodine, which I had to order in from the nearest Lloyds Pharmacy - looking onlin...

Re: What preps are you doing this week? Part 3.
I was woken up last night by hammering ... 3am :( my neighbours are noisy, but thats unusual even for them. It kept on, with another noise in the background, so eventually I put my dressing gown on and went round. Their power had gone off, and there was a burning smell. Two UK Power Network vans wer...

Re: Part time prepper!
Welcome! I'm often guilty of not testing the preps enough ... I bought a Baofeng radio ages ago, and I've still not set it up

Re: Buying Gold and Silver online?
... The only thing I really learned about was the "average down strategy" (well worth a google for if you are interested). And that can work if you play it right, but if the market goes against you sharply it can be disastrous. Always know when the daily news is coming out. ... Averaging ...
