This list for a grab bag comes from the Cheshire Resilience Forum ie a government/ local authority/ Police etc etc website. https://cheshireresilience.org.uk/ It is their recommended contents for a grab bag. The list itself is nothing special. The fact that is sitting on a mainstream official websit...

Indirect prep but one that actually alarmed me. I have an older brother who lives in London. He has no prepping inclinations and happily lives in London. We got talking about the current situation and the risks we face. I pointed out his flat was all electirc so if there was a power cut he would not...

Hi.
As others have said please introduce yourself in the new members forum.

I am an M0 licence holder but like most others do do not give my callsign as it would end my anonymity.

Likewise regular networks / skeds are a rarity as again most preppers like to be anonymous.

OK. One of my big weaknesses is gardening. I am hopeless. I can even kill mint. So suggestions please. Be gentle. How can I educate and improve. I have a typical modern garden ie smallish. Full sun on the back of the house I have some container grown herbs. Attempts at container based strawberries p...

Had my second (Pfizer) 10 days ago and felt knackered for days. Also my diabetes control went haywire.

Eldest son gets second tomorrow and Mrs Appin getting her second on Saturday. If she feels bad it wil be my fault.

Hi I agree you need to think about what you want the geiger counter / dosimeter to tell you and what budget you have. For the first you need some knowledge of dosimetry. Normal background radiation gives a dose of approx 2,700 microsieverts per year in the UK. That's 0.3 microsieverts per hour. Also...
