I've fitted a couple of led striplights in the workshop. I did have a fluorescent above the bench but managed to hit it with a window I was making. Not having a spare tube I asked my daughter's boyfriend to save me one if he came across one in his job as an electrician. He came back with a couple of...

I would say if you're taking a car then cram it as full as possible with as much food , water and other stuff that you can but be prepared to lose most of it if you need to abandon the car , then carry as much as you are comfortable with rather than aiming for a certain amount of days worth. Again i...

Too many variables to say. When I was of Military fighting age, I would say 7-10 days worth on my back not including water. Agreed far to many variables. Middle of winter is going to be harder to carry a large amount than it is in summer . A fit young soldier can carry a week or mores worth but the...

Yes to be honest it seemed like quite an expensive system for what is basically a,candle in a,glass,sided box. As,Christmas decorations some years,ago I made some lanterns out of offcuts of ply and glass and I still have them and they don't need specific candles , anything will do...

Following with great interest. I do like my uco's I'd never heard of a UCO candlelier, but this intrigues me. No I'd not heard of them either , I was trying to work out what UCO stood for and ended up googling it :cry: Some years ago a friend and myself set up a little candle making exercise thinki...

I know the sort you mention and wouldn’t be surprised if they were armed as well so could pretty much corner the market so to speak. A customer of mine has a terrier that is always on the lookout for rabbits and has caught a number . Getting her to drop the rabbit is another thing and when she final...

Check out Gamekeeper John on YouTube (based in the UK) for hunting  with a slingshot. I brought home a pheasant today from my morning dog walk, 12mm BB to the head. If nothing else this does demonstrate the need to practice with one’s choice of weapon , practice , practice , practice. I’m decent wi...

Not wanting to piss on anyone’s bonfire but this idea of going out hunting with a bow or whatever is close to being a prepper fantasy. Hunting anything large is going to take a decent poundage bow not the lightweight ones most use . I’ve got a 70lb longbow that might just be ok but I’ve also got a c...

Since answering this thread I’ve been pondering on the question and have come to a conclusion that the question itself is a bit too vague to give a proper answer. This one rather assumes everything else stays pretty much the same and we just stop going out of the house.. As with a lot of things prep...

I don’t throw anything out! It has to have legs and walk away by itself. I’m with you on the tins front though I’ve never made it to 12 years … I bet it didn’t taste that much different? If anything it was better than I remember . I never really liked rice pudding as a kid . It was a texture thing ...
