What Preps are you doing this week

[FEISTY]

Jansman: "So you bought a BCB fishing kit. And you are against it as a sport?
I am a lifelong angler. It is a learned skill. VERY learned. The BCB kit is useless rubbish if you have NEVER fished. As I say, you need to know what you are doing. You will NOT be able to use your BCB kit for practice as it is a handline. That is ILLEGAL under Environment Agency regulations.

You snipe at it as a sport, yet you buy illegal equipment. Illegal, as the rules are there for fish WELFARE-yes, anglers are concerned about the wellbeing of their quarry-yet you are prepared to use it if hungry?
Please explain."

Given the tone of this, I am disinclined to "explain" anything. Perhaps someone else who does not have a hostile anti-non-fisher agenda could enlighten me as to how these kits can be so widely available and recommended for survivalists. I am here to learn, not to be sniped at.

It reads, "Prep like a pro .. Try Superprimer FREE!"

TAKE IT TAKE IT think what the chavs will trade for it, make up will become a luxury item for them and its FREE

What will the chavs have that's worth trading for? Food? Hand tools?

All valid points . I just thought it might raise a smile .

Baking lots of bread as it turns out all my hovis bread mixes are out of date since august 2013! Sort of proves a point though, not one has gone bad, its very nice bread, Asda is currently doing them at 3 for £2.50, so reaplaced them.

Also got myself a rabbit from an old family butchers, made a stew, it turned out just how i remember my nan doing it, this was a possible shtf senario, I used my dutch oven on the hob, none of my lot wanted any part of it, but I bet they would if there was nothing else, I used my wifes recipe for veg/chicken stew, im glad, it was lovely.

tacos for dinner though.

I went into Plymouth today and that's why I prep.

I'm adding that to my signature.

Very good, it's getting out where the problem comes

Well they could have a nice warm coat that you could trade for something else they could have a leather coat that you could use the leather for something or they could be into wood working so have some nice tools or you could trade for some fule

After checking my rucksac and edc's first aid kits, I have now got a small storage box to keep in the house to put extra and surplus supplies in along with my ffp3 masks, and extra disinfectant. No I am not going for a full hazard/pandemic kit but just a few bits, for just in case! I am building up more paracetamol on each week's food shop. While I have a decent amount in my various kits and the cupboard, all it takes is 3 of us to be full of flu or a major head cold for a few days and the normal household stocks run down. I don't want to be dipping into the first aid kits, but rather have a separate storage in the cool and dark for emergencies. I am also building up extra dressings - just ordinary melanin ones, not ambulance/trauma stuff but the every day stuff that we would run out of and need in a situation where I couldn't just pop to the shops. Once I have done this, then I will get another box and begin to build up a different area of my preps - batteries/bulbs and lighting I think will be the next one to do. At the moment a lot of my preps are just an extended integral part of the home - ie I have a box that is always full of batteries in the cupboard, various full first aid kits and kitchen cupboards full to burst of food and spares of that food. I now need to extend this - one step at a time.

The kits are legal to buy. Under EA REGS. illegal to use.
I read of many who buy hunting and fishing gear who are 'Anti' hunting and fishing. However, " will use it if SHTF".
Hypocrisy.

LOL when you think about it if TSHTF turning cannibal and eating Chavs may be best for the planet ( only joking )

Unfortunately, we are divorced from the land. We have become urban. Lazy and fat. We no longer gave to claw a living from our immediate environment. Tesco has replaced that. As we have seen the Old Life drift into the distance, our new one - the one where we can buy our meat and fish in plastic packets, is the new Normal.
Then we try to forget our 'primitive' roots. When we were poor and uncivilised. We are Urban.

Some of us though, have always lived in the countryside. Yes, it still exists. We keep animals and grow food. We hunt and fish.
Hell , I kill and butcher animals for a living. At one time I was paid to kill people when I was in the forces!!!
Aah well.
