Re: What Preps are you doing this week

Not a prep - more a precursor to prepping but this week I am trying to sell stuff on ebay - including loads of mint on cards 80's action fugures.

The funds raised will then by used to buy more preps!

Re: What Preps are you doing this week

Cheers for that Piglet but I have a couple of those already for normal use - these batteries are more backups in case the SHTF and I can't recharge my batteries.

I know 100 batteries isn't many but it is certainly better than none! :D

Re: new prepper

Welcome! Don't worry you are like most of us having little funds! Best thing to do IMHO is list: a) what scenarios you are prepping for b) work out what you need c) check what you have already d) a plan of bug out routes, locations and options e) a list of things to get priced up and in priority ord...

Re: Small Generator or extra Food

For me the genie, albeit a luxury, would be the way to go. Probably because I can get food further on and as it is perishable needs replacing anyway. For me the closest crocodile to the canoe in terms of issues to be prepped for is power outages so for me a genie that can run the freezer, a couple o...

Re: Asthma

I have looked these up and they are more expensive than if bought using a prescription but still an option. As for most people money is tight getting a good stock of these in will be very expensive. I had heard Chickweed used in a tea is good for asthma, has anyone else heard this or of another 'nat...

Re: Multi tools

I for one have a Leatherman wave and a SAK, a led torch (Lenser P7) and lighter with me at all times. The Leatherman has been invaluable and the best bit of kit I ever owned - I got in when I was in the military and never looked back. I originally had the cheap versions (some still in my various too...

Re: What do you think is going to happen and when?

For me it's anything really - just know something bad is coming / happening, not sure what or how bad it will get. I do think that the main threat I can see is we are heading to major civil unrest due to the world economy and expect it to crash at somepoint (not sure when) which to me is the most li...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week

Well I have been building up my stock of wood - and losing weight thanks to the heat! I have picked up a new mora knife, some first aid stuff, a wood burner and a spotting scope for my shooting. Plus my eldest boy has just gone on a weeks bushcraft camp and I am teaching him archery when he gets back.

Re: What are you prepping for?

I am prepping for any number of things but am starting off small and prepping for power cuts / brown outs, civil unrest and bad weather causing food, fuel and power shortages. Then I plan to build up my preps to cover pandemics, major civil unrest and anarchy through to a global issue (solar flare e...
