Re: I finally got a BOV.

Lonewolf, I have many surprises, and none of them nice. I just want to avoid ever facing that prospect.

Re: I finally got a BOV.

I am not anti prepper. I prepp reasonably and hope nothing will happen. A lot of my posts Is just sarcasm against things that seem to be weird for me: like buying 4x4 to bug out. The country is so dense that wherever you'll move there will be people. Besides once shtf can't you bug out with Vauxhal...

Re: Food Insurance

I saw a US based ad once for "prepper insurance". I laughed and thought anyone signing up will be straight on the FEMA supply network, or worse, the watchlist.

Re: Finding survival water

Let it all boil and condense it. You can ensure its purity then. Not very energy efficient though.

Re: Lightweight Sleeping Bags

I have a few vango ultralite bags. Very warm but unbelievably thin and very light. Not usable zipped in the summer months. Having used army bags, I must admit i'm not a fan - probably still old technology, and to the lowest bidder - admittedly this was in 1993. There's more advanced stuff out there ...

Re: Bug out 4X4 vehicle

I suppose it depends where you want to go. True off road you need high clearance so would be looking for a discovery, but its a landrover and for that money, it will leak.

Easi-yo yoghurt system

I have an easi-yo yoghurt system I bought from lakeland a few years ago. You add a premixed pack to around a litre of water and put it in a flask of boiling water overnight. Does anyone else have one? I was thinking a freeze dried yoghurt mix would store quite well, even passed it's expiry date, and...
