Hi All

Post by Blue407 »

Hi

I used to be a member back in 2011, recent Ebola scares have made me start planning ahead again (Got a bit lazy to be honest).
I do have some supplies, but very disorganised (Thats this weeks plan, to sort them out!)

Based in West Midlands and looking for help and advice :)

Yes, there may be a few cardboard boxes with 'random' stuff piled in....
Plus a couple of plastic boxes stuck under the need that 'may' need sorting...

It's Ebola that is scaring the cr@p out of me right now, not because of any media frenzy, just because I've been reading a lot about it.

I'm looking for a good guide on what to purchase to protect myself and family. With limited finances, I am prepared to put a bit on the credit card, but need proper advise, no point purchasing things that turn out not to actual work (Like Army surplus respirators, surplus NBC suits etc)

What daily precautions to take, both now and in the event it starts to appear in the UK.

I've not found much on here about it yet.

Hello!! Welcome back!

I've been doing a bit of digging with regards to this Ebola lark as well. I rekon moving to Barbados for a couple years would stand you a good chance of avoiding it. :)

Hello and welcome back. The question you must ask yourself is how far do I go? I think sensible precautions are hand sanitizer , gloves, Bleach and avoid physical contact with strangers. Full Biohazard suits is probably a step further than most would consider unless you work as a resilience volunteer.
