Thank you jennyjj01. Let's hope we never have to find out for real though?

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 5.
Here's a slightly off topic torch question for the electrical engineers on the forum - in the (possibly unlikely) event of a major EMP event will LED torches still work? It's my understanding that an emp will knock out electronics circuits and it's also my understanding that LED's have a small elect...

Re: Hi all, newbie from swansea
Hi Wiz, as a relative newbie here too I found just getting a couple of weeks food in for the family (just by picking up a couple of cans of food/rice etc every time i set foot in tesco's for beer), it settled that sort of low grade unease that had been lingering. Thankfully already had a lot of outd...

Re: Mental Health.
Hello all, professional head on here, as we're all agreed, mental health is a serious issue and suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK with men aged 40-44 the highest risk group. It's worth all of us taking a few minutes when we're in a good place to have a think about the ...

Re: medical equipment at home
Feeling outgunned here
my medical kit comprises of gloves, loperamide and tea towels. Thankfully noone in the house is on prescription meds otherwise we'd have them too.

Re: S.O. on board :-)
Jansman - thanks for the heads up - never knew that. Assumed that it was simply a case of housing feeding & watering them and et voila! Pantry on legs. Have shot & eaten a few out of the field but lot of work for relatively little food. Still, if ever it gets that bad I know now not to try and trap ...

Re: S.O. on board :-)
Yes, prepping sort of conjures images of zombies & machine guns. Target at the moment is storing enough food for a family of five for a week. Feel i'm "ready" enough for heating/cooking/water/lights for a good while. Pondering getting some sheets of plywood in for emergency window repairs. Suppose c...

S.O. on board :-)
My (much) better half & I were out sat around a fire in the garden last night chatting away when during the course of the conversation (I don't know what about now - had had a couple by then) the word "stockpiling" came up. I jumped on the chance to bring the conversation around to prepping - she's ...

Re: Wanted Nato Matt Green Paint (Spray Can)
Somewhat bizarrely halfords sell matt green "camo" paint. Don't know how close to NATO shade it is though.
