Re: Bolt cutters or?

if I had to cut the lock off my shed, I'd rather use the bolt cutters to do it quickly and easily. As opposed to messing about with a hacksaw, you see bailiffs, emergency services, and soldiers all use them. Time to replace your padlock and hasp then ;) I fitted a closed shackle and hasp to prevent...

Re: Pre Made bug out bags ?

I'd build your own but for what event?

Big fire on the local industrial estate ...police bang on your door at 3am telling you your to evacuate to the local sports hall ....

Where will a machete and 30 assorted knives and stabby things come in handy?
