You'll notice that everyone develops a particular area in which they overprep, looking at Yorkshire's torch collection for instance or my excessive (alledgedly) quantity of tools..... Don't worry, this is normal
Have a look around on here and remember the
only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
Before you buy anything, write a list of Events you need to be prepared for no how unlikely (Zombies or Invasion by aliens from outer-space
) then rank them by probability and plan accordingly (basically, just the first three on the list will cover most of the others).
For example:
If the Police or a Council worker knocked on your door right now, and told you you had to leave in five minutes for your safety. What would you need to have?
