Hi Mike welcome to the forum. It's good to know I'm not the only 70 year old on the sight. You live in rural north east Scotland and have your bug out bags ready? I suspect many others would think you're already in one of the best bug out locations in the whole of the UK.

Hi there prepfungus, Welcome to the forum. You've already taken the first, most important step in realizing there could be problems sometime in the future and deciding not to leave your fate in the hands of others but to become self-reliant. Unfortunately it's not a case of "if our system colla...

I don't think the cats ever received any vet treatment, just the occasi...

Going down into confined, flooded, dark underground spaces is definitely not for me, not out of choice anyway until im cold in a box. Can't cope with the feeling of claustrophobia. Good on those that do though as it has to be a pretty good Bug-Out space. :lol: To me a good "Hidden Retreat"...

All this talk about hiding in mines or caves ..... I think I must be missing something here. Who or what are you guys planning to hide from exactly?

To be honest, if you were going to go to that sort of lengths to get a secret underground bunker, you might as well just go and buy a secret underground bunker. Yes, there are many old ROC bunkers left over from the cold war in my part of the country; they come up for sale every now and then. I kno...
