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...

Re: In the event of nuclear war...
In reality for an all out nuclear war we are still talking of Russia who have a large enough arsenal . In likelihood I still think Putin be?ieves he can win in Ukraine by conventional means. China I tend to rule out as being the aggressor in this scenerio although I think they would retaliate if att...

Re: It's still about.
My daughter's boyfriend tested positive last week. First time he'd caught it as well and he was rough for a couple of days but seems ok now. Arzosah , funny you should mention rats peeing over pallets of goods. Way back in the early 80's at college as apprentice carpenters we were told not to put na...
