Re: Prepping for the next finacial crash?
This thread started back in Sept 2017 and is probably even more relevant today given whats going on in the financial markets. The 10yr Bond yield rate is about to go over 3% in the next day or so, which will likely have a major impact in financial markets as so much is gauged against this. (This is ...

Re: When your SO completely fails as a prepper (light hearte
My father in law would not consider himself a prepper at all, but the family joke is how many toilet rolls he keeps. Once I jokingly mocked the floor to ceiling pile he had in the bathroom (8 x 24 packets) at which point he showed me the hall cupboard with another matching stash. I know where we are...

I dont know if the next conflict will involve nuclear weapons or not, but events with the potential to get out of hand seem to be escalating quickly and in several places at the same time.
If there was ever a time to make extra sure my preps are in order, its now.

Re: Water and sanitation when SHTF
We have been using our Berkley for almost a year now, which we bought on Ebay with a 12 month interest free payment plan via PayPal. So far its been brilliant and the only draw back is that you do need to set it somewhere high enough to get glasses etc underneath the tap, our kitchen window cill is ...

Re: Water and sanitation when SHTF
The reality of limited water supplies is being felt by those living in Cape Town at the moment. A TV report the other day (can't remember which channel) said people were being restricted to 2.2 litres per person, per day, to cover drinking and personal hygine. It needs to rain there soon.

Re: Reevaluating and resupplying
Like many of you I've also had to accept failing health and "age" and adapt my preps accordingly. These days i'm focused more on home security, food production and improving my health.

Re: Hints That Western Civilisation is Starting to Crumble
Well - Serbia, Ukraine, Czech - they DID have a major collapse, very much within living memory. It's also true that prior to that collapse, having the skills and mindset to improvise, and access to some resources either from your place of work, or your dacha or veg patch, or from taking bribes for ...
