Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 7.

I've come round to the idea of 'bumping along' my guerrilla garden, I can get 2 fruit trees from Tesco for a tenner, why not.....

Only problem was,I am short of two stro...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 7.

I havent even got a grab bag because I always thought nothing can happen here to make us have to run for it, but that's not Prepper Thinking is it :mrgreen: Apparently there's a huge deep underground gas main running cross country a mile north of here - can anything happen with them? And of course ...

Re: Bad Weather/Bike Gear

Walking gear is no different Lil, you have stuff with 'labels' that cost more. Its another area where you generally get what you pay for. There are a few exceptions, one being surplus gear. You can get a navy 'fouly' jacket for about 30 quid, I've still got a couple I use for dog walking or if I'm w...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 7.

Jansman, have you looked at the microfiber camping towels ? They can fold down small and aren't as 'tactical' as a shemagh, come in different sizes. Nothing wrong with shemaghs, I often have one to wrap round whatever I'm using as a pillow (and emergency splint etc that they can be used for) when I...

Re: Bug out bag advise

This crossed my youtube path and while I don't have a 'BOB' 'locked and loaded and ready to go' this covers a lot of useful stuff. He talks about 'bug out locations' and the point of the bag, the point being to get you from A to B rather than using the contents of the bag to survive. Some of it is e...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 7.

A friend knowing I like to gather wild stuff, brought me some hazel nuts he found, I've planted some in a tub of old compost like Catweazle and if they come will plant them out nearby in the hope we end up with our own supply in this area. Also realised that we don't have elderflower/berries nearby...
