All good points. My own point of view is two vehicles , van set up for carrying kit , motorbike for scouting the way ahead and "shopping". Flexibility is key if it all goes wrong and keeping your options open, however as mentioned you must use what you have at the time. As an ex 4x4 owner ...

Those are very impressive looking knives , excellent work !

If you produce more I'm sure they would sell like hot cakes , I would definitely be interested in purchasing one

A very interesting and thought provoking thread........ Lots of very good points , certainly about the "marauders" and "gangs". This forum is full of people who have practical skills or are acquiring them, most of us born in the seventies (showing my age now :D ) can make and fix...

Very Curious post , lots of very valid points for us all to consider. Knowledge is power , consider night schools for short courses in some of the building trades , or if you know a person with skills you lack offer to assist them in turn for tuition.

The problem is if the SHTF occurs , the moral questions kick in concerning others and those that have not prepped. Do you h...

Hi I would choose snow chains over snow socks. Although another point to bear in mind is ballast ! Seriously , my L200 has four wheel drive and is great in snow but as with all picks ups has little weight over the rear driven wheels. A couple of bags of sand (or other weight) in snowy conditions in ...

Sorry to hear of your gearbox problem Charlie 5.

Looking on the bright side ( as preppers should ) you were ready, able to cope and be self reliant.

You could even treat it as a rehearsal for future events

Hi All Funny I was thinking about CB the other day ( what an exciting life I lead ! ) . On ebay there are quite a few basic sets for sale for around the £50 mark although I'm no expert on quality. From my lorry driving days, some of the guys had them mostly the "Midland" brand. In SHTF , i...
