Having watched Doomsday Preppers and 11 Seasons of the Walking Dead during lockdown, I am already somewhat ready and as part of my business continuity plan purchased water purification and dried beans, pulses, some MRE and 60kg of broken basmati
Stopped short of mylar bags at this stage.
Since then got a few bargains like some camelbacks (we have lots of water near me) as a borehole seemed too costly.
I have a variety of airguns, spring and gas, for hunting small game, and teaching my boys to shoot, some fishing gear, machetes and axes, three tonnes of firewood, woodburner, a day van with camp toilet, solar shower and an Anker 2kw solar generator and fridge freezer (bought for work "exhibitions" ya know).
Other rando stuff like 30-40l alcohol gels... I know people who made it and got joblot deals as gift for queuing them sales during covid.
Luckily my areas has lots of birds and rodents around, huge park full of pigeons and squirrels and a lot of waterfowl too.
Clearing house of exes stuff and having more cabinets fitted, storage and a pantry to rotate goods.
If SHTF I plan to bug in at home or my company offices where many of my preps are. 1 mile apart.
For me bugging out is the higher risk... being trapped in queues of traffic with children and photo albums is not for me.
Family issue.... some of my loved one are at distance. Wrong side of M25 which would be even more of a disaster.
I maybe won't be so active posting, more likely lurking, but thanks for being a readily available resource for so many x
Being older and divorcing, other than work, remaining alive to protect my children is my highest priority and I know how lucky I am to be able to go the extra mile.
Five years ago this would have been impossible for me, but right now I think I am good for 2 or 3 months... or more.
Next step is med kits, iodine, debating NBC kit, fullers earth mitts etc.
harder than it seems, I think. Loving the sound of your van!
