Only recently has the idea become an ‘idea’ as folks can buy food etc within moments. Right now our personal situation is changing, and our storage ( for example) is changing toward...

Re: My current prepping

The name changing helps,although where joint ( and married) there is no rush,as the law allows our relationship. The videos are excellent,especially where safety is an issue. ;) I forgot about the marriage bit, it made things a lot easier for my sister when her late husband died. But there's such a...

Re: My current prepping

That's an amazing overview, jansman. I really like the sound of the videos to help your wife, and a huge amount of trouble can be avoided by changing the name on the accounts, as you've already done. As an ecowarrior, though :mrgreen: I'm wincing a little bit :oops: :lol: sorry! The name changing h...

My first collection went easily towards paying 50% of the mortgage.I was lucky ,as my late stepdad was rather an expert and bought and sold a lot,and profitably too.Since the mortgage freedom I’ve built another collection,which our youngest d...

Re: Anyone hunting or fishing these days?
