Re: What Preps are you doing this week

Been doing quite a bit of reading - especially about the economy!! Not very heartening reading!

Re: bug out ,bug in

I'm bugging in although I have looked at the surrounding areas for bugging out and it seems like North Wales or somewhere in Cheshire are likely BO destinations.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week

I got some food grade buckets with lids from the local chippy to put some of my food in. Cleaned them up with water and bleach and they now have my packet stuff (pasta, rice, noodles, coffee, etc) in them labeled, dated and ready to go in storage.

Re: Crossbow. Is it really necessary?

I've not got a great budget for a xbow but have seen them from £30 to £50 for an 80lbs draw (pistol style). are these powerful enough for hunting? I saw this one for £50 http://www.hunters-knives.co.uk/80lb-al ... istol.html
