I've been saving egg boxes for a while so when they arrive I can chit them in the spare room until the weather is suitable for planting. I'm looking forward to spending many hours at the allotment this year. Some of my wif...

Re: HEADTORCH 1000 LUMEN - ADVICE PLEASE

Cheers Briggs, looks nice also I see they have a HC70 too. I will YT them both tonight to see what the reviews are like. nice find. I quite like the look of the HC70 and how the battery pack doubles up as another charger. Maybe when I'm feeling flush and there's a discount offer! Back to the HC60 -...

I've had mine for over a year and I use it daily, I'd definitely buy another one. It seemed good value to me as it does come with a battery. I've not seen the HC70, I'...

Re: What i am prepping for and why.

Before the Great Urbo-Rural War escalated to near flashpoint, I was going to comment on the OP's plan just for a bit of discussion and perhaps make the OP re-consider his plan. I was going to ask the OP what logistical planning he had in place to move his family's kit to his chosen bunker in the Lak...

Re: What i am prepping for and why.

Ooh I like Briggs' reverse post-apocalypse scenario! Third...there will probably be more of us than of you. And we will already have looted all the available Dettol and squirrelled it away.
