Re: Buying my first gas mask

As Yorkshire Andy said... Plus, I would go for the GSR over the S10. Having used both, I rate the GSR over the S10 as it has twin filters allowing you to change one at a time.

Advice needed please.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 4

Hello everyone, Been a few weeks. I've been on a nice walk about in France whilst my wife tried to kill the credit card shopping with my parents. Weather was amazing, almost a little too hot! I walked from Carcassonne to Nimes camping each night and generally having a ball with my survival kit/BOB. ...

Not expecting the complete and utter break down of society in the near future. Think that's how most of us started out... Well I'll get that as it ma...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 4

Waders are evil! Fell over once trying fly fishing. Luckily I wasn't too deep at that moment. But it took all my effort to get out as everyone was too busy laughing their heads off. Never went back... On a change of subject. I done a basic fire fighting course with the local fire brigade (done throu...

Re: City EDC Supplementary Tin
