Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist
I would suggest that for most people in the UK, the best you could achieve is Prepper-lite. The option to bug out is not really an option. Certainly down here on South Coast, there is nowhere to bug out too - 10 miles outside of anywhere is pretty much 5 miles into somewhere else, if you get what I...

Re: Home defence
We are an 80 year old couple, fairly healthy for our age and also well prepared for most emergencies.
However I was reprimanded ON THIS SITE for suggesting we should have weapons to defend ourselves.
