Re: Geiger counters

heresay and unsubstantiated reports frequently offer poor information. You're right, but then that can be applied to every single peice of news that you hear, regardless of it's source, unless you were actually there to witness the event. As I said in one of my earlier posts Now I'm not saying that...

Re: Geiger counters

Shocker, thank you for your post, I was in fact seriously considering leaving the forum or at least ceasing to take any active part in it. I believe there is sufficient evidence to give some credibility to my concerns, if you choose not to see it that way then that is your choice, if you have constr...

Geiger counters

In view of the news about the radio active cloud of Iodine-131 spreading across Europe and the on-going Fukushima disaster I've been considering buying a Geiger counter.

Re: Homemade Beer & Wine

I've had some great results from some unusual sources, I made marrow wine which ended up looking rather muddy, I left it for a number of years but it didn't clear so in the end I decided to try it and ditch it if it was no good, as it turned out it was great something like a heavy sweet desert wine,...

Not only is this a go...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 4

As a neewb I've been reading through this forum and a US prepper forum that I've joined, there's lots and lots of information so it's going to take a while for it to sink in. The immediate effect has been to look at my current state and identify my shortcomings, as a result I've been buying in those...
