Re: Prepping when ill or infirm
I was only once admitted in an emergency and was only in for 48 hours - but I found it very aggravating to be without stuff that I wanted. I had a phone but no charger. I had a £20 note but no change . I had no pen or paper and my shoes were in the house, I was in bare feet :evil: All those stupid ...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10
My first thought was "Oh B*gger...... Why does the cr*p always seem to stick to the folks who've got enough on their plate" KBO GeeGee. At least you've got preps to help (and the Brain trust we've got going on here) Are fireproof document boxes water proof before they get hot? Because that...

Re: Prepping when ill or infirm
Nice to hear from you Jansman.... KBO mate. I think one of the key principals of Prepping is being able to adapt to changing circumstances. No power? Have alternative heating/cooking/lighting No food in the shops? Have a stockpile No money coming in? Have a sockful of cash Can't do the things you co...

Re: Practicing CAT7 tourniquet - how check legs?
Unless its Hosing go with pad,dressing and pressure..... If it is bad enough to need a CAT wind it up until the blood stops. TK's should only be removed in Resus or Theater...... ie not by you or me. I think you'll find that if you're practicing until your pulse stops then you're not going far enoug...

Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist
I suppose going by these definitions I too would be towards the upper half of Prep-lite...... But then so are most of the LDS (assuming they've stuck to doctrine) and anyone of my Grandmother's generation (not that there is many of them left nowadays). I once read that a Prepper learns to make soap,...

Re: boot laces
Its basically because you're got fibres rubbing against metal, my re-enactment shoes just have holes punched through the leather and those laces don't wear at all. Even metal eyelets will wear the laces. The loops you show have two edges the laces rub on and that speeds up the wear more. I avoid boo...

Re: Value Range foods compared
I recently tried Morrison's own brand soups and quite liked most of them (well all the ones that are flavours I'll eat at least), not a lot of lumps (they're not that kind of soups) but they do have some texture to them. Pea&Ham Mushroom Chicken Carrot&Parsnip (surprisingly good) Mixed Veg. ...
