Re: Where to buy RAT (the tourniquet) and what price should

I want to buy a few RATs I just realized I made a mistake. This post was supposed to be about CATs, not RATs. The RATs are actually not so expensive on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/%EF%BB%BFR-A-T-S-Rapid-Application-Tourniquet-Orange/dp/B01KZA9YUQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507197071&sr=8-...

Another newbie from London

Hello, I'm yet another newbie prepper from London. Specifically, south west London. I've always had a passing interest on prepping and self sufficiency. I lived in Argentina during the 2001 crisis that saw the state go headless and that was quite an experience. I'd be interesting in meeting other pr...

Getting your ham radio license

Hello,

There's a course running to get the foundation license with a few spots still available on the 22nd and 29th October at the Bromley & District Amateur Radio Society (https://bdars.wordpress.com/) in case anyone else wants to get it. I'm going to be attending the course with a friend.
