Re: Manchester preppers

Good to see there's a few of us, not quite the roaring community but SHTF will make survivalists out of a lot of mancunions. Plus it's good to know there's at least a few like minded people who could support each other if the time came.

Re: SHTF Personal Protective Equiptment

I've also seen (again on eBay) ex police fire retardant jump suits such as the ones worn by riot officers and I wreckon that would be good in a...

Re: Ring binders

Yeah this really does have potential, the laminating is a class idea as well especially for more high use info such as maps. With this the possibilities stretch as far as you can print lol. Seriously though you could get all kinds of info on anything and everything prepping related.

The idea if that you go out and buy a few ring binders and plastic wallets, and fill them with google image satellite maps of your entire surround area as well as any areas of interest EG water sources/foo...

Prepping and Fitness

I think as preppers one of the most important ways to prepare is to prepare our bodies for the possibility of a more physically demanding life, weather it's farming, fighting off raiders, running away from hordes of ravenous zombies, swimming for your life in a flood or just plain bugging out I thin...

Re: SHTF Personal Protective Equiptment

I went with the long shield for two reasons, the first was that it is excellent at blocking doorways say in a house and the second was that I had an opportunity to buy it lol.

Re: SHTF Personal Protective Equiptment

The grey man approach is the act of blending in with the crowd, eg not looking like a prepper so you could rip your clothes, make your house look as if it had already been looted, hide your preps etc
