Food for bug out? Quantities

How much food in days per person you would take if you need to evacuate in the worst case scenario, i.e. you are unlikely return home? Thinking about the worst - a nuclear strike I do not have a big car, and probably many of us will use only one car for evacuation, so require space for additional it...

Re: In the event of nuclear war...

Well, if we put it this way, then, as Private Frazer said in "Dad's Army"... No live can be so good that it couldn't be made worse :D

Re: In the event of nuclear war...

My understanding is that Russia will warn us in advance before hitting us with nuclear weapons I don’t believe bull💩 in news where, I think, our admiral said we should not worry about Russian missiles because they will have to fly over territory of a few NATO countries, so they are likely to be inte...

Food containers for quick evacuation?

Water is relatively easy - I have 5 litre water bottles and 5-10 litre canisters that I can quickly pack into the car However, I wonder how to pack the food so that I could quickly put it into the car? Currently thinking of a few options: 1. Boxes about 5-10 kilos (12-25 lbs) that I can move to the ...

Re: In the event of nuclear war...

We crossed too many Russian Red Lines that now we don’t know which one is the ultimate one. So, from this point of view, there be no warning However, there might be one. For example, Russia changes the law that allows easier use of nuclear weapons - at the moment it is very strict and Putin can pres...

Re: Prepper -'lite' or full on survivalist

I think of myself as a light prepper-lite as I don’t want having food and supplies for more than 1 month. However, I have notably more - I have 3 personal fridges and freezers for my ale, beer, wine, venison and other game from hunting and fish from fishing I also want to have very minimum gear and ...

Re: Preparing for war

If full scale war happens… to my knowledge, UK does not have good air defence, so we are likely to absorb all nuclear missiles from Russian submarines and container ships (Russian “miniaturised” their train missile launch platforms and hid them in sea shipping containers, so now any cargo ship can b...

Re: Evacuations-when you have to bug out in the UK
