Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist
Yes the roads are likely to get gridlocked. Can you carry your gear if necessary? Making an early decision is a tricky one, but if the authorities say you must evacuate, it's made for you. I can't carry the gear far at all; for me it would have to be totally desperate to bug out on foot at my age. ...

Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist
I do have a BOB, but it's mainly intended for enforced evacuation or for partnering my BOV (only if I'm desperate). The BOV is good for about 5 reasonably comfortable but boring days. From what I can find out, a decision needs to be taken in the first 18 to 30 hours when bugging out from a city, de...

Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist
Pepper ish. I'm aiming to provide a reasonably comfortable living for myself and my descendants in the event of long economic decline. If I can also help my local community that's a bonus. Being able to live comfortably, which for most implies financial security, is the most important part of prepp...

Re: Hello from WelshPrepper
Welcome from Manchester. I do tell some people I prep. My lodgers know, and seem to agree it's a good idea, but they've not said much about it. I have mentioned it to members of my family, and my best friend, I think, but they've not said anything about it. I've not met up with any preppers off the ...

Re: Self Protection Online.
I've not had any issues with facial rec on my phone, it's used to log into the phone, for my bank account, and a few other apps. I also had to use it to get a tax refund.

Re: Self Protection Online.
Had a bit of a nightmare the last few days with passwords. I think Firefox was conflicting with the iphone passwords or something. It was offering me too many choices* and none would autofill. NHS was the worst, I think that was definitely their site though. I changed passwords loads of times, but t...

Re: Value Range foods compared
Article in the Guardian yesterday about UK agriculture struggling due to wet weather, also other countries in Europe, and drought in Morocco, all meaning food prices are likely to go up. As if they haven't gone up enough already. Cauliflowers have gone up in price, and have been smaller recently. Re...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11
Weather very up and down. Could be 0 tomorrow morning. Was 18 the other day, and sunny. Seasonal average is 13-14/6. Forecast for most days is about that. Had to put the heating back on, but then having to turn it down sometimes. Being able to see the temperature in lodger's room on my phone is very...

Re: Self Protection Online.
One thing I have been doing recently is updating passwords to secure ones. I was scared to let Firfox generate them in case it lost them. But my iphone now usually volunteers to save them as well, and if it doesn't, I know how to update it on my mac, which then updates the phone. It's a huge pain. I...
