Re: 72 hours survival kit vs modern times

One of the advantages of living in the back of beyond is that your neighbours do too. Nearest is over 1/4 mile nearest one I consider a friend is over 1/2 mile. Village shop is 12mile round trip for me, more for some and nearest supermarket is 40 mile round trip, so all who live here have food in th...

Re: How likely is it

Apart from immediate family and one almost family, I keep my stores secret - thank goodness. However my fruit and veg garden is clearly visible from the road, okay it's a single track and not exactly heavy with traffic but I doubt if the contents would last long even so. my log store is also easily ...

Re: Goats

Brought back so many happy memories on reading your post. We kept goats when our children were young, Sanaan, Toggenburg and British Alpine.
