Re: New home, new preps.

New home, new preps.

So I've just bought a house with my girlfriend in area 2 and now I don't know what long term preps to do! I've got her on board with getting a multi fuel burner with hot plates in the living room on the premise it will add character to the house. but general preps..now what?
many thanks!

Re: EDC

The reason my Bag-Load is closing on GHB territory is because I use public transport. No car boot and no locker means that my EDC is all I'll have. And, with the exception of the trama-gear and the ferro-rod, I've used everything in the last year or so. I think that's a good way to sort your kit ou...

Re: EDC

Re: EDC

Re: New member!

Welcome to the forum, I'm new too. I'd also like to know more about the zones, I did have a cursory search but I couldn't seem to find anything that explained what they meant or where they were, if anyone could shed some light on that for us that would be great! Hi BlackDragon! After a little bit o...
