Re: New member, just saying howdy

Welcome from the suburbs of Cheshire.
You have a head start, and I hope you have a few tonnes of curry to go with that rice.

Hunting and fishing gets a mention in another recent thread Straw poll...

Do tell us how balanced your food reserves are.

Re: Straw Poll. How much food do you have in reserve? How well do you stock rotate?

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.

In theory I could shoot ducks and geese, but I only have a catapault at the moment. Bow and arrows would do it. There are loads of farmers' fields nearby, but I'm not sure what they grow. I can't easily harvest grains, and some of it is just grass. Bow hunting is also a no-no in this country...... ...

Koka noodles. Box of 30 for about £13-18. Not the healthiest food, but tasty and only needs hot water. I've tried vegetable and mushroom flavours, just ordered some spicy stir fry, which are also vegetarian. Vegetable are the most expensive at about £18 at the moment, the other two are about £13 Wh...

Re: New Member, where to go for information as a newbie?
