Re: Waste Management
It is noticable on our street that some households generate a lot more waste than others. As part of my job I cut a few lawns and yesterday I went to the house I dislike the most. Ignoring the flight of steps I have to pull the mower up to the "garden" which is little more than a dog toil...

Re: Waste Management
I have wondered about this in the past. Primarily when I've seen film of a dustman's strike and great piles of rubbish start to accumulate on the streets and I've wondered how much rubbish some people can generate. We have the regular sized wheelie bins , one for garden waste , one for recycling and...

Re: Car v public transport
Where I live, in rural north norfolk, public transport is poor/non existent. Assuming a crisis, I would imagine public transport would get at least, worse and possibly dangerous. Having a car (petrol sadly not diesel) is essential, although after a serious situation I would guess would become usele...

Re: Uses for Flour.
More a question than anything else but a few of my friends and I have been talking about flour and in particular pea flour. We have a recipe for horse bread which is basically a peasent bread made with pea and bean flour and was also fed to horses. The dodgy south american river company sell yellow ...

Re: Growing solo
I tend to listen to radio more than watch youtube but perhaps I'll have to make an effort to look at those.

Death by sheep
A strange one that has perhaps been missed by mainstream media but a cautionary tale nontheless for smallholders . Seems a couple of "hobby farmers" in New Zealand were killed by an animal on their farm.

Growing solo
Those who listen to radio 4 may have heard this show today. I caught it and it was a short but interesting listen. Basically it's about an attempt by a guy called Max Cotton to be self sufficient in food for a year and should be of interest to preppers I thought. One thing that struck me was that it...

Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist
In the late 1970s, with a young family, the cold war, job uncertainty, we started buying a little extra food as we could afford it, with very active kids we had a good first aid kit, holidays were camping.......things grew from there. That’s how we started prepping and we didn’t know it was......we...

Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist
Forum quirk I suppose but in some respects it made me smile. When I looked this thread sits right next to the nuclear war thread and couldn't help but see the irony in the almost polar opposites of answers. On this thread the talk is all about planning , bugging out , and surviving but on the nuclea...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
My tomatoes are doing well this year loads of plants have germinated and are now around three to six inches tall. They're in the green house and on the south facing windows of the house. Some will soon be going over to my father in law's. Peppers are growing well too in the house , cabbages nd lettu...
