I’ve got the Baofeng UV5RTP, this aerial sounds like a great investment!
The Baofeng covers VHF & UHF, are there any “cheap” radios that cover HF?

That looks brilliant

Metal shelves…. Sounds good.
Any brands / models you would recommend?

I normally have a massive crop of pears, be good to try freeze some, bags full of frozen ones!!

Welcome Greyman I found it helpful to think of what comes into the household everyday and what would happen if it was not available. Electricity, Water, Internet, Gas, Phone are obvious. Then there is money/wages, medical services/prescriptions, access to supermarkets, GPS, banking services, mobile...

Do you live in a city or are you more rural it can make a big difference.

I live in a village, 2 minutes from country side, 10 minutes from a city!

Sounds like a good plan, currently rarely use or see cash… everything I do is iPhone iwatch, be useful also to have cash!

World wise - probably the constant feeling of insecurity of covid and the divide of the people.. How a lot of people reacted (panic buying at the last minute, causing fighting to gather essential items for their family’s) On a personal local level, job insecurity would have to be my number one reaso...

So I’m brand new to this site, I’m probably not new to prepping as I’ve been doing it for years without realising!
I’ve now got an urge to improve my preparedness, and definitely storage!
So I will probably be looking for storage ideas at first!
