Could definitely get some good toys with £3k!

For me, my main focus is prepping for being unable to work/get out of the house. This could cover lots of scenarios, such as "injured and unable to work", "power cut", "snowed in", "political unrest" etc.

For example with food, stock up... But don't buy too much, you need to make sure you can rotate the stock and actually eat it before it goes out of date (I know dates wont matter much, especially in a SHTF situation, however for everyday use, its a good idea to). Medication is useful (couple of packets whenever you go to the supermarket soon add up). Tools and equipment are good, but you need to know how to use them..! (I have a gas stove with about 20 canisters - we use it when we go family camping each year)
