Re: Prepping - Strength in Numbers / Community
My biggest issues with communities in that sense are they can quickly expand beyond the people you know and trust. So lets say you have a good friend but at the time of SHTF that good friend also has cousins or other distant friends who once hear about his prepping, now before you know it instead th...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
Health preps for me this past week.
I've done my prostate and have my general bloods at home kits.
Today i ordered at home bowel screening.
I have all of these scheduled for annual checks
Solar PV is increasing so i have reduce my night time battery charge to 40% now rather than a full 100%.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
Increasing my water & tinned preps. I estimate I have 3-4 months worth of food now but my drinking water is far less.
I am also getting some rack bolts for my "weak point" entry back door and I'm going to get more outside lights for night time security.

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
I have made a start on my sash stops (taking a bit longer than I expected to fit). I need to next look into window protection film, might buy a small amount to test to see how easy it is to fit (don't want it looking like a dogs dinner with air bubbles). I have changed my outside lanterns to TAPO bu...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
This coming week I'll be fitting downstairs some sash stops for the windows. It's single glazed so still not very secure but should make things a little harder (touch wood never is required)
I also have my decoy safe to fit

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
More of a safety prep weekend for me, fitted fire alarms in the children's bedrooms (already have nest ones in hallways). Very important between a 4 year old been curious with a lighter they've found, or a 15 year old with ruddy hair straighteners left powered on left on the bed by whilst they raid...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 13
Also this week i am looking into cash storage of cash and valuables.
I'm getting a cheap safe off amazon as a decoy and then a second more secure safe for the actual items we want secure. Haven't yet dipped into gold/silver storage or carrying much cash but I plan on.
