Re: Are you a good swimmer?

I'm a terrible swimmer but I can do a slow, splashy couple of hundred metres if I had to.
Oddly when I was diving, there were far worse swimmers than me in the dive club despite having to do a swim test as part of the training (I did 200m on my back slowly).

As Preppers,water is THE prep,for sure.
Beer is mostly water, isnt it ?

Re: New member from SE

Hello, I'm in SE UK too (East Sussex). Population density is around 4 people per football pitch so bugging out is going to be busy :D Yes but the vast majority of people are in cities, towns or villages, and it could be that not many decide or need to bug out.

Re: Earthquake UK

I'm 1.9 miles from the sea and my garden is 18m above sea level (excuse the mixed units). If this unlikely tsunami charges up the English Channel, I'm history.

Re: Anybody got a air fryer

I have a small one bought out of curiosity (had some John Lewis vouchers and couldn't afford a B&O hifi) . Does oven chips, sausages, roasties etc a bit better and cheaper than the oven.
Thinking about getting a bigger one.
