Great Website

[Manclife]

Sorry if this site has already been mentioned but its the one that made me realise that prepping isn't necessarily about guns and hunting for your food. It's more about surviving disaster as a Joe Bloggs yet there's no action or suspense just the average guy trying to do his best in the face of natural distasteful and the lessons he learned along the way. I hope it's as helpfull too others as it was for me.

This is real life... There are plenty of lessons to be learnt from this. It's not all about zombies or alien invasions.


Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for this! I've just read the first few pages, and I can tell its going to be absolutely brilliant.

I've had some time in between appointments today, and I've completely changed my bug out bag. I've only ever thought of my BOB as the bag I'd take to a local hotel of some sort if my own house was uninhabitable through a chemical spill or some such. So because of this website, I timed how long it would take me to get my "ingredients" together (not tidying up as I went either, just getting and leaving). Bag in my luggage trolley in the airing cupboard, some preps hanging up in a cupboard, a box that sat on my desk, a pair of old trainers, a few clothes. Just over 5 minutes - I wasn't doing it in an adrenaline fuelled rush, but I wasn't dozing about either. If I was given half an hour by the police, okay, but if there was a house fire ... I'd have lost all sorts.

So its changed! I've actually got the bag *out* of the cupboard, and its staying out, its packed with a pair of old trainers and a few easy clothes - like he said, if there's a fire in the middle of the night, if you stay to dress, you're probably dead. I'll unpack it another day to take pix (I'm working again in 45 mins) but its now packed, more or less, I've updated my key rings, and I've bought a flash drive that can hold *all* the documents on my computer, not just a select few. Lots of scanning in my future!

I had a rough readiness that was better than nothing - but this thing, if I put my purse into it each night, if there was a house fire, I could just pick it up along with my mobile phone and get out, in my nightie if necessary and like he says, put my clothes on in the street while I'm phoning the fire brigade.

This has been a real wake up call! How nice to have got it from a website, not a real life emergency of my own.

I'm glad people like it. It really did open my eyes to what prepping is about for the average family man and its nothingto do with being a post apocalyptic Rambo.

Maybe "it" is about "how to be stable, safe and boring if things get a bit tricky", but that's slightly less catchy then "prepper" and less media friendly than "doomsday"
