weapons... ya mean like cricket bats???Putting up tins of Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top and Spam
Prepper ping!
I kinda feel sorry for the “real” Brits...they are gonna have a helluva time defending their preps without firearms. I hope they have alot of illegal STEN guns laying about.
bttt
It would be just my luck to be sealed up in a doomsday shelter with 5000 tins of Spotted Dick.
The comments are maddening. Why are the Brits so vile?
What like of weapons are they allowed in Britain? Cricket bats?
I’m willing to bet that the *last* thing these folks are worried about is some “Mayan calendar”.
I saw Vienna Sausages on someone’s prepper list or comment a couple weeks ago, so I bought a can to try (hadn’t had any in YEARS). No thanks, those are NASTY.
Glad to see big-mouthing about your preps isn’t just an American thing...
“Britons are stockpiling...condoms”
Too late. The UK is already f*cked.
:-P
Plus, when I was little, I stayed on the farm with the grandparents. They had gardens, chickens, small dairy herd, a pig and piglets, wood stove, no phone, out house, hand pumped well, and a pond.
They almost never went to town, so most necessities were all provided from our labor. My chores were to milk 1 cow by hand, collect eggs, and nurse the runt of the litter of piglets.
Guess we were preppers and didn't know it. After I got married, we always have prepped for storms and electrical outages-a little more each year, while we have bought our share of modern playthings, we have opted more often for practical things that are useful in emergencies too.
We built our house with 2 fireplaces and a woodstove. We have generators for our house and daughter's, a kerosene heater(useful on my husband's sideline business too). We have a couple of window air-conditioners that we can use to cool a room or two in case the central air fails, or electricity goes out.
After living through the 70’s oil shocks and double digit inflation, I increased the amount of purchases on sale and size of pantry on hand.
Beginning end of 2008, I went out and bought even more food-largely due to anticipated price increases. For example, bought 2 years of peanut butter at $1.00 a jar(it now costs $2.25 a jar). Have replenished it at every sale opportunity.
Started gardening in earnest in 2009 with indoor plants and 4 season gardening. Main reason to have pesticide free food, but also to get back to canning and having my own food on hand. Plus I don't like being charged $3.00 for a bag of spinach in the winter(which could have E-coli)so now I just grow my own all year round.
I have a treadle sewing machine which I kept for sentimental reasons, but it still works, as do my more modern electric machines.
That's not a whole list, but anyway we are pretty well set for bug in situations. Bug out plan still needs work, but is not the most likely scenario anyway(earthquake and storms are more likely). We are about 3/4 mile outside a small rural town on a 1 acre plot in a pretty nice subdivision with almost no restrictions and no neighborhood housing association.
We are 1/2 tank of gas from St. Louis. Not the best for teotwawki situation, but better than being in a big city, so I am not convinced we need a bug out plan unless, the entire state of Missouri goes under water overnight with prior warning.
Sorry my post got a little long too much nostalgia.
Most likely being a sustained failure of the electrical grid which could be caused by a well planned terrorist attack on all of their country's power sources.
How would they cope with the loss of electrical power for a month? Markets would be devoid of food within two days.
The frozen food in their freezers would be thawed out within 24 hours.
Gasoline would be unavailable since stations rely on electricity for their pumps to function.
Patients in their hospitals relying on life support systems would be dead within 24 hours.
Pharmaceuticals required to sustain life would no longer be delivered to their pharmacies.
With no electricity, doctors' offices would be closed and hospitals shut down.
After a week of no electricity, no gasoline and no access to food stuffs, chaos would then set in.
Those people over there are clueless as evidenced by the comments. But what the hell, they've come to rely completely on their government to meet their every need......
At least the preppers are prepared and I applaud them for it.......
Whassup with that site, I have a registered account but everything I try to post is never shown...................
weapons... ya mean like cricket bats???They call it Mayan calendar fear but it is really fear of the muslim crazies the British left has encouraged and allowed to run amok.
Same thing is gradually happening here with the American left, crazy muslims and Holders People.
I admire their spirit, but look how pathetic their weapons are.
They are going to be reduced to bladed weapons on a bloody battlefield.
I’m so thankful for our 2nd Amendment.
We must never, ever let them take away the 2nd Amendment, in any way, shape, or form.
Prepper ping!
