Re: UK preppers shop.

Stumbled across this website the other day and was disappointed if I'm honest. The prices are a bit on the steep side and the range of kit is limited. Very little in terms of shelter, food was lacking and the options for water storage were disappointing.

Re: Stab/Bullet proof vest question...

In my opinion you can't beat the real stuff and personally would go for one of the Osprey plate carriers that the Army uses as they can be fitted with MOLLE pouches allowing you to change your layout depending on what your doing. However if your worried about money I suppose that an improvised vest ...

Re: Boots

Most of the discussion seems to be about British Army combat boots and I would agree that they are probably the best for a few reasons: 1.

Re: Small square cooking pot to accompany my hexamine stove?

As it has already been pointed out British Army mess tins. They come in sets of two with one slightly larger than the other so they all fit into one neat package. The hexie cooker will fit nicely into the mess tins with room inside for a meal from the ration pack and an all important brew kit. The o...
