Re: Underground coating
Autocad for the technical drawings, this will allow you to calculate soil tonnage (for disposal), plus all needed materials. Dig a hole, construct the shuttering from ply, insert steel reinforcing mesh, hire a concrete pump and use water proof concrete. You will still likely need a sump pump, water ...

Re: Frequently asked Quetions
I'd say the best radio for the money nowadays in the Radioddity gd-77. As they are dual band and support both analogue and digital. They come with a programming cable and the software and can scan for activity. Setting them up is fairly simple and even without a license they are useful, as most comp...

Re: Vegetarians- what do you stock foodwise?
Being that meat isn't cheap and doesn't really store well for long term storage, with canning being the only sensible option, I'd think most peoples long term stores will be focused around, filling, healthy, long term options, like rice and dried beans, lentils, chickpeas, split pea's, barley and ot...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 5.
I recently came back to the UK after spending 8 months traveling around Japan. It taught me a lot of things, mostly that privacy is nice, but not really necessary, as long as you have somewhere warm to sleep that's good enough and that you really don't need more than a 40 liter bag, three changes o...

Re: 2018 predictions
I'd think economic issues and political unrest will be the biggest factor in 2018. Business hates uncertainty and there is no way to leave the EU in any meaningful way, while retaining the same access. Salaries aren't growing to match the rising prices and general cost of living. My job takes me acr...

Re: Which shack in a box?
I'd imagine you probably bought one, but you can't really go wrong with a YAESU FT-817ND, used prices are not too bad if you want to save some money. I'd also recommend picking up a cheap TYT MD-380 from one of the Chinese sites like Banggood/Gearbest as analog is dying outside of HF. I use multiple...

My names Mark, I live in Brighton, got into prepping years ago. Still prepping for economic problems that may a...
