A guy I worked with once was telling me about an incident when he was in the army . They were issued with provisions , rations etc and part of that included three sheets of toilet paper. One squaddie asked just what he was supposed to do with just three sheets. The reply was " one up , one down and a polish" :D

I've heard that one too, the bloke I heard it from was told that by the staff at MCTC Colchester (army prison) when he went there for some military crime or other. (can't remember what now)

200 miles from home for three to four days next week. Not relishing the thought, to be honest and trying to prep for a city is really twisting my melon.

Well I went on my shopping trip to top up my GHB stuff I keep at my office and you'll be pleased to hear I was very good - I didn't buy anything except some more basic dried food rations. Instead I took my time & looked around and compared different things from my list of what I think I need - I'm now going to take some time to think about it a bit more and then buy the remaining items I need and that will fit in my drawer.

On a side note I went into Mountain Warehouse and they currently have a 50% off everything in store and online so if you guys need stuff might be worth a look

I am also looking for this kind of bag also. Is there any advice where did you get it as well? Thanks for the reply.

Welcome to the forum, I've removed the link at the bottom of your post, we're not here to advertise. Can you pop across to the 'New Preppers Start Here' section and give us a quick intro. I hope you find plenty of useful stuff on here.
