Re: CRISIS!
Great story! Thats what its all about.
We had builders in recently and I now have a giant cupboard, with doors that make it look invisible. The old joiner, Im sure he wouldnt be insulted by me calling him old hes retired and works because he gets under his wifes feet at home. He saw me stacking it and said 'My granny had a cupboard like that'. The plumber on the other hand is a young guy and said, why do you have all that water when you have a big water barell out the front too, building your own swimming pool?' I smiled and said I was. I suppose Ive got enough purification tablets to make it safe for family bathers
- I can remember once not too many years back when there was a minor scale contamination of the local water supply and the supermarket ran out of bottled water.....are everybody elses memorys so short.
Whos to say it couldnt happen again?
Prepping isnt just for the big disasters its about getting through the little ones that life chucks at you too.

Re: CRISIS!
Dead right!On our own domestic scale,in our own little worlds,one man's minor problem is another's disaster.
It's a good feeling to roll with the punches!

In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

No problem - on a somewhat side note - I think preppers need to get really serious about food because regardless of your political preference - there is no help coming from this government or for that matter any government from now on to be honest - they dont have a clue what to do and I can really see a recession (which as far as I am concerned we are already in) and some households in the situation of a depression - where you cant afford to eat. STOCK UP NOW
