Re: Aquarium for water storage

Thanks for the advice there deeps! I'll pick one up next payday and I might get a couple of the containers to hide in the shed. how long do you leave your water stores before changing them?

Re: The age old question

I've found a good start is to focus on the persons interests. My best friend is not interested in prepping but he's into fitness so I've convinced him to start coming to krav maga lessons with me.

Re: Barricading / Home fortification.

The ideal house to defend would be one with a basement. You could build a bookcase door to hide its entrance and a more secure steel door behind it as a contingency. During a post shtf raid sit quietly in the basement with your preps and they would probably think the place was abandoned.

Re: Electric vehicles (and PV elec)

I once had a look at an electric vehicle, i renault i think. the problem with that was you had to rent the battery and they charged so much rent that it wasnt viable unless you did more miles than was practical in an electric vehicle.

would pv cells be able to charge it quick enough to be practical?

Re: Toilet paper substitute

I think some people have simply become too used to modern day hygiene standards. Gotta say I love the bidet idea! It would probably be fairly easy to make out of a few scavenged parts in a long term disaster. I may not buy the ass rags afterall.
