Oh, yeah. I nearly forgot. I have bought a magnetic antenna for the container so I can use the radio. Spoiling myself, really.

Toooo much information thank you!! :lol:

Might I suggest that, if you feel that lice and ticks are a potential issue, that you invest in some diatomasceous earth? It can be used to kill of all manner of creeping things. Food Grade is used in areas where people or pets might be.

Have I missed something?

Oh, and fleas and ticks dont really care about hair on the human meal-machine in my experience... As for lice, they hate silk aparently.

Now that is a good idea and I've used it before. However, the lice are getting impervious to it and the ticks, well it's easier to just use the same tool as I use on the dog. As for shaving, I have used Veet, it's the way forward you know.
I recently experienced Plymouth City centre so that's why I prep.

Shipping container - Yup. I live in one for a few days every fortnight but I'm thinking of taking a break from the drudgery of work and doing a week or so there, just me and the dog.
