Re: One week without addiction
Up until a couple of years ago, I was one hell of a TEA addict - 10-15 mugs a day w/o blinking. I then lost my job and for some reason, stopped drinking the stuff. Now I am a water addict - 2-3 litres a day. I will do you a favour and drink a cup of tea but that is it. Even my GP went :shock: at it ...

Re: What do you carry?
I have been thinking about this a lot recently. I carry a box of basic survival stuff but recently have been adding to this: shovel, rock salt, auto socks etc. This does weigh the car down and adds to the fuel bill hence my pondering on this. However, I will only add additionals eg 25kg bag rock sal...

Re: When a cold is a flu and how to treat both

Re: Bartering
As far as I know Hull is probably the biggest city in your area and it's not exactly renowned for trouble? Oh sugar - you ain't been to Hull!!! Having been a student there I can honestly say, on a Friday and Saturday night, it ain't pretty! Too much "town n gown" for starters! Hell, even ...

Re: When a cold is a flu and how to treat both
I am glad you said that MH because I HATE it when somebody sneezes twice, blows their nose a couple of times and sniffs then tell me they have 'flu. IF YOU HAD INFLUENZA YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT . A cold and flu are two different things. Flu can wipe you out for a couple of weeks; a cold a few days. ...

Re: good location for comunity
(home to none of us! which was the idea, really) Think that is the main thing for an initial meet. Obviously I could be holier than thou and state "OPSEC" but reality is, if you don't know each other, on initial meeting you may loathe each other but they know where you live :evil: :evil: ...

Re: Bartering
I think the big question has already been asked: what are you prepping for? Armageddon? Nuclear strike? Economic breakdown? Even in those three suggestions there will be different requirements for each situation. Suggest the best thing to do is 'learn to barter'. I must admit to having felt embarass...
