Re: Coronavirus panic: Why are people buying just pasta?

How much dried pasta and toilet roll are you supposed to eat to build up an immunity anyway? Can I eat kitchen roll? Will it still work?

Why won't the government tell us this stuff?

Re: Antibac hand gel: substituting with diluted disinfectant?

The alcohol is what makes it evaporate so your hands dry quickly. You could probably use the disinfectant but I can't imagine it'll be nice for your hands, have you looked online for the bulk hand gels that they have in hospitals? You can then squirt a bit into the little bottles and probably save a...

Re: do you have any strange health remedies?

Those blue plasters are rubbish, they never stick.

Electrical tape does actually make a pretty good plaster on its own, used to use it all the time back when I was a theatre lighting tech as I always had a roll in my pocket.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 6.

Re: Torch

LED lenser are very good, I have one that I use for lamping.

For EDC I have a fake nightcore tube, I had a real one that stopped working after six months or so which annoyed me so I buy the fake ones now, they last the same amount of time but they're a fifth of the price.

Re: Sometimes

Powdered milk is one of those things that I just wont use if it gets too old.

Usually doesnt taste or smell bad but it can be pretty nasty if it's gone.

It's one of the only things that has ever made Steve1989mreinfo on YouTube ill, and he happily eats things from world war 2 rations.
