Sorry John your original post appears to have fallen through the net you'll need 10 (sensible) posts in other areas to access the private messaging system First 10 Posts or so requires moderator approval this keeps the scammers / spammers in check .. get to 10 posts and ask people to pm you .. we don't allow sales per-sey as thats a whole can of worms especially surrounding bladed articles and the like plus someone getting upset when the item gets lost in the post / stolen if you get my gist

I'd hold off posting your mobile number in public you'll probably lure the crazies in. ;)

Welcome to the forum

If you struggle getting shut of stuff local food banks / homeless charities would probably welcome most stuff
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

However we are now planning on "bugging out" in eastern europe. Which means I have many preps which I would like to find a good home for. We are located, at the moment, inbetween Bishop Auckland and Darlington (North East England). If I'd not be breaking any rules here, I'll give my phone number here for anyone in the area wanting tins, medical stuff, etc? I wish I'd found this forum sooner, but when I was last looking there was nothing like this!

Thanks
John

Hello, please do give any unwanted food, hygiene and household supply preps to your local food bank, community kitchen, homeless unit or to your local church. If you are unsure, ask your local council who would point you in the right direction. They would be unlikely to accept medical supplies, but you may be able to find a local charity who would be willing to take first aid items for the Ukraine or similar. Have a look at Project Cure. I dont have an affiliation with these people but rather they were used than binned.
