Re: In Lidl this week
Just brought 3 of the folding saws and initial impressions are that it is ok. Obviously I can't comment on the longevity of the blade but as all three together cost only just above half the price of a Bahco and a fraction of a Silky I'm thinking it can't be too bad. The blade is removable and while ...

Re: Bug Out vest?
Ah , that'll mean an additional market for "tailored " shirts to accompany the beer gut vests :D . I remember a similar conversation on a photography theme where it was suggested that rather than camera bags looking like , well , camera bags , all nice , pretty and steal me sort of things ...

Re: Bug Out vest?
If you're going on dragons den how about pitching the idea of a stealth vest that just looks like a beer gut?

Re: vehicle for bugging out
I've got a few customers and friends who keep horses . I'm not sure if it's a prerequisite for keeping them but the majority do seem to be able to moan for long periods at a time , how much hard work horses are , how expensive they are with all the food and vets bills , how to deal with all the muck...

Re: vehicle for bugging out
Not directly concerned with using horses as a bug out option but more concentrating on replacing motor transport this makes for an interesting read , apparently just to replace the farm tractors in the US would require 23million horses.

Re: What preps are you doing this week? part 2.
Today and tomorrow I shall be continuing my quest for order , and de cluttering the yard. Funnily enough I've been doing just the same. I'll admit to being a bit of a squirrel and if something has a potential use or value then home it comes. To that I decided it was time to clear out all the scrap ...

Re: Polish Puma backpack
Sorry to resurrect this thread . Possibly good that you went for the patrol pack rather than the Polish jobbie , I came across this review recently and the author ( a Dane who seems to collect and bitch about military gear) is very scathing about almost every aspect of this bag from the camouflage ,...

Re: So You want to Bury a shipping Container?
With regards to the whole hidden in plain view idea I saw somewhere a suggestion to use a tanker lorry. I can recall a story about whiskey being shipped in milk tankers to make it appear not worth stealing and then there's the scene in Cagney's film White Heat where the gang hide inside a petrol tan...

Re: So You want to Bury a shipping Container?
Good to see the article also mentions all the other pitfalls and potential problems of any sort of bunker both underground or otherwise. Personally I think they are great for storage , although condensation can be a problem in any steel structure , and can be delivered and operating as a secure plac...
