Silent reader Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 oh, and in terms of weapons.......... I get the feeling that you'll be carrying more than Neo as he walks through the metal detector in the first Matrix - That's a fantastic list, not sure what sort of enviroment you are preparing for but if you've got a hand Axe, Knife, Scissors etc..... shouldn't a sharpening stone also be considered ?

jerpy Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 How would any of you guys cope with disruptions to essential utility services? Say, electricity/gas shortages or rationing, etc. How are you going to manage for heating and cooking food? And also, lets say that a financial armageddon occurred, and there was food rationing and hyperinflation... so you've got to keep your stockpiles of food a secret.... and then you're out in the garden with your BBQ's grilling steak!! Lol, might that not arouse suspicion from any onlookers?

warpig Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Now here's a nifty little device. Using their power cells which appear to last for 2 years and a tablespoon of water, you can generate electricity from hydrogen. No price as yet. http://www.powertrekk.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littledavesab Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Not sure if it has been mentioned but there is a rather good podcast just for this. http://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/ Jack is quite good, gets gold and silver but says there is more to life and one should not just hide under a rock. I have listened to a selected few and forwardwind any relating to hairy US deer hunters and guns n ammo! + a link to one of his recommended firms - clever storage systems - not just for survivalists (or preppers as he likes to call them) http://www.shelfreliance.com http://www.shelfreliance.com/all-products/frs-food-rotation-systems/the-cansolidator-series/cansolidator-cupboard.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
