Re: What Knipex pliers size will you choose?
If it's being carried on a scooter or any other vehicle I'd always lean towards the larger ones . Weight would be less of a problem and the extra leverage is always good. For travel the smaller size could be a decent idea if they have to fit in a pocket although saying that I have a couple of pairs ...

Re: How long can you sustain your family on your stored food? And tips how to rotate
This brings me to a conclusion that we probably don't need much food to store - in case of a disaster we will be evacuated, in case of WW3 - well, I will try to move out from radioactive land to places that are less contaminated, but there is still a chance I have to stay put before the opportunity...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10
A question about the jerusalem artichokes . A couple of years ago I planted some in an old barrel half partly on the basis of how they spread comments . I didn't touch them as I wanted them to get established. However , the barrel which was second or probably fourth or fifth hand gave up the ghost ...

Re: Disproportionate storage
If anyone can find an historical example of a situation where bread , potatoes and pasta have disappeared but bacon and butter have still been plentiful I'd be glad to hear of it. A bit odd historical fact - I am from Central Asia and, during Perestroika, we could buy meat on the market because the...

Re: How long can you sustain your family on your stored food? And tips how to rotate
Things might run a bit faster with a WW3 scenario. Plus unless we 'won' rationing might become the new permanent, like Cuba, or maybe NK. Rationing could just take so many forms. Food price inflation is a dirty version that we face now. Could/Would government regulate a fair and more social system ...

Re: Small House storage,

I kept the kick board as it is , it clips off eas...

Re: How long can you sustain your family on your stored food? And tips how to rotate
And also the possibility that action will be taken against "hoarding" in the event of a real situation. In WW2 there was anti-hoarding propagada, public sentiment was strongly against anyone thought to be hoarding and in some countries this was enforced legally too. Thinking about the las...

Re: How long can you sustain your family on your stored food? And tips how to rotate
I now start thinking if I should reduce my food storage to 1.5-2 months. These are the reasons: 1. I suspect financial difficulties are more likely than food in my case Agreed. I'm afraid a lot of preppers get focused too much on gear and stocks ( not just on here , I've visited several other sites...
