Ill say it again no one gives a f!!k about your family like you do. So get s!!t done and forget those scoffing and mocking you. It will be these problem when it is too late, these will be the predators in wrol.
You really are quite insane. Prepping is the least of your worries.

For the big'un, and in this country, a decent stash of arms and significant ammunition would be - apart from the obvs - a great tradable commodity

This all sounds nothing like the prep school I went to.

fk me, this thread has managed to attract all the weirdo's...

We lived in aus, miles from town, and very independently, and didn't need to do all this st. Just basic tools, common sense, and some food/drink.

Ive been watcing Bear Grylls religiously in my prepping to prep.
The issue is that now im comfused.

Should i attempt to buy cans of fish eyes to hydrate myself, or rely on catching them fresh and sucking their eyes out?

Obviously, until doomsday actually arrives, im trying to make a real effort to avoid drinking my own piss.....but, in the name of thoroughness I have found Carlsberg to be a suitable replacement.

What is clear- massively clear- certain folk on here must be drinking something a great deal stronger.

Can't remember where I heard it (probably some BS management course) but they said that if the supply chain failed, then London would have 3 days supply of food at most. I asked what about food in peoples freezers and just got a STFU death stare from the bird running the course.

Is this thread serious? I can't imagine in a country like ours that this is at all necessary all that's going to happen is you store all this stuff for 10 years or so, nothing happens and you throw it all away.

Hey Trabbi (all of one month and a 130+ post history) the guy above gave a reasoned position of his thinking. If the cashpoints stop working and the bit of plastic blah blah.

Prepping is insurance. You decide the risks for you and yours and prep accordingly. Or not.



To consider that a financial or global communications meltdown in your lifetime is unlikely to occur is niaive.

Another thing he's right about, when it comes to looking after your own...

Shotguns.
Lots of ammo.
Gold & Silver.
The ability to light a fire and fresh water supply would also be essential...

If the economy breaks down money will be useless, gold & silver will still have worth and you can always barter with ammo but you'd prob need it...

Thing is, to survive an apocalyptic event where even the 4x4 Response Network fails means physically distancing yourself from those who haven't done any prep and thus will come knocking for all your tins of beans once they start to get hungry.
On a tiny island like this one that's never gonna happen and even the best prepared mentalists will get caught up in one big fight (literally) to survive. The other option is to barricade yourself in somewhere and essentially bury yourself alive, which sort of defeats the object really.

If this is the specific week you have in mind, you won't need anything else, the mental will take care of it.

...utter bks, of course. Everyone I know has significant food in cupboards / the fridge. If she said 3 weeks then yes. 3 days? Could do that just on cerial and milk!

Preppers - where do you plan to bug out to?

Do you think the country people will welcome you with open arms or do you think nobody will notice?
