Re: Burying your head in the sand???

Further to my post above, the same friend and his partner, and a few other friends were round for a bite and a few drinks last night. Any way I think my pal had been talking to his missus about what we had talked about, and half way through the evening she turns round and ask me why I've got all the...

Re: Burying your head in the sand???

A good mate came round the other day for our usually put the world to rights session. Now he probably has an idea that I've started prepping, he knew me way back when I was into survivalism, but we've never talked about the subject directly. Anyway we were talking about how the world seems to be goi...

Re: Caught unawares

I would think that it would depend on the situation you find yourself in, and what you can see from the window of the train. Do you know the route the train tracks follow. Do they stay out of built up areas, running through mostly wooded, folliate cuttings, etc. And do you feel comfortable, and conf...

Re: What preps are you doing this week? part 2.

Re: How long

I like the idea of us all drinking dinosaur pee, lol. Aside from that thanx for the info. So I assume that you would need to rotate the packaging more than the water itself.

How long

Might sound like a daft question, but was wondering how long does stored water actually last. I know bottled waters and other drinks have a sell by or use by date on the bottle which seems to be on average about 9 to 12 months, but how long can you safely store it for.
