Bought a 1mw green laser pen! helped to set sights on crossbow. Kids thought the laser was cool! Felt like a kid again! forgot how cool they are!
invested in a 1.3kw heater using gas bottles same as brief case stoves. works well.(have only electric, getting ready for winter) looking for butane heater 4.2kw ish
but a bit pricey.
got old ammo box(use as Faraday cage) for small items.
Tesco had cheap £1 torches, dotted a few around the house.

We live in a unsustainable world, there must be a balance, poor people/rich people no more, only prepared people will make it!

Re: What Preps are you doing this week
This week, I have risked life and limb to try and clear out my loft, and do a general declutter of my flat. I've managed to make quite a bit of space so now have more room for stores

Re: What Preps are you doing this week
Bought a couple more OS Explorer maps - have been buying 1-2 per month for a few months now, covering between London where I am and where my family live further north. The main reason (and the reason I tell my Nan when I turn up at her house having bought maps again) is that I like maps and find them interesting. The prep reason is obviously they could be a lifesaver one day. Current (and long standing) map project: work out how to get out of London using as few main roads as possible. I'm finding it really quite difficult!
Sorted out some of my prep stores. Didn't realise I had 10 bottles of shower gel and god knows how many lightsticks (thank you 99p Stores!). It's made me realise I need to keep a closer eye on what I'm picking up. I keep meaning to do an inventory of what I have vs what I need and today's tidy up gave me a boot up the bum so that's this weeks project!
I need to top up my EDC first aid kit with plasters and migraine tablets - bleeding hangnails and nasty headaches have depleted them.
Bought a load of batteries from Maplin on 'buy one, get two' free. Not bad for £2.99.
Not exactly a prep, but I watched the film 'Contagion' and apart from making me want to disinfect myself and never use public transport ever again, it reminded me to make sure I have anti-bac / alcohol hand gel in my EDC and in my desk drawer at work.
Things to add to the 'buy' list: a decent compass, hand warmers for my EDC and some decent gloves.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week
Mouse, have you found this website, http://footpathmaps.com/# , its really good.
Huntsman, loving the prep.
My own preps? I'm working on curtains and opaquing film over the porch windows - I'll be sewing weights into them a la http://www.cpni.gov.uk/advice/Physical-security/ebp/. Its vanishingly unlikely they'll ever be called into use, but since I'm doing it anyway, as a normal DIY upgrade, thought I'd experiment with it.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week
Looks like we're going to buy some Gamekeeper catapults, will pop in poundland and check out the marbles too, and I reckon a big bag of pebbles/chippings from wickes for expendable ammo would be cool too, other than that keep up the extra food/ household goods shopping.
We tried our walkie talkies too at the weekend making it fun is getting us all on board.

making it fun is getting us all on board.I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week
I can't stop buying rucksacks ! 
Morning all,
I bought a black CamelBak M.U.L.E. this weekend, it's compact rucksack with a bladder. At about 10l for storage (and 3l for water), it's one of the smallest rucksacks I've ever bought. I've never owned a CamleBak before, it's extremely well made and suspect this won't be my last. I'm making it my edc get home bag. I've put in a FAK, a multi tool, 400 lumens flashlight and the map of my location. Plus the odds & sods of paracord & duct tape etc.
I would post a picture, but the images for the 2012 model differs from the one I bought, I guess they changed the design at the last moment and haven't updated the artwork.
Anyone here used rucksack bladders before? Can you put isotonic drinks in them?
