I'll comment on one thing if I may. I can foresee one flaw in your plan and that is to filter the water in the down pipe. Filters by their very nature slow down water flow and you may well find that in heavy rain the downpipe will back up and overflow the guttering. I'd perhaps take water into one I...

You've made your mind up but I thought I'd just give a link to a couple who definately think it's worth while. (ok so it's the mail but worth a read) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2360180/The-Good-Life-Couple-spend-just-50-YEAR-bills-collect-rain-water-flush-toilets-grow-food--detached-bun...

If necessary I'd use my re-enactment gear for protection. A padded jack is a type of soft armour that is many layers thick and is very good at stopping injuries. Then I have helmets , mail , armour and shields and so on if I wanted to go that route. You mention a long police shield. They really are ...

I've never actively gone out to purchase precious metals although I do have a handful of kruggerands and soverigns and a few silver coins. I'm sort of partly agreeing with you on their value post event and you are probably correct that market traders would be unlikely to take them. And if they do I'...

I have got to the point that I carry as little as possible. EDC Swiss Army Knife,Zippo lighter ,led torch(lenser) length of paracord and large hankie. Chuck on a water bottle(nowt fancy, a PET bottle will do).Good to go. I ain't Bear Grylls-thank God. That's pretty much all I carry on my person apa...

Or am I missing something here? Maybe or maybe the UK guys aren't as keen to announce where they would stash such stuff, besides there's so much more to bug out than most of us can get our heads around so we plan to bug in or become refugees ;) . Yes I can fully understand why people wouldn't want ...

Like most newbies I suspect I've been reading and re-reading old posts but haven't found an answer but if it's out there I do apogolise. I think I'm trying to tie a few threads together so to speak. I've looked at the contents that people have posted of their bug out bags, I've read how many are als...

I don't go big on folding spades or most folding type tools if I'm honest, I keep a full size spade in the van and also a mattock and saws and so on. However, I do have a folding spade that is made by Acrow.The spade blade has 3 different positions , folded back against the handle , in line with the...

This week or so I've signed up to a wholesale warehouse called Bookers. Easy to do as I'm self employed as they like to deal with traders. Also I've aquired several 1 gallon food grade water containers for nowt. They were used to hold the concentrate for slushy drinks and the stall holder was skippi...

Thanks, either there's not a lot out there or my searching leaves a bit to be desired but I was having trouble finding answers on the 'net. I'm not sure if there is a difference in the make up of the plastic that could cause leaching or other problems. I have used in the past larger tubs that were m...
