Anyone getting stocked up on food etc just in case?

Yeah, rice would be the staple that would be harder/pricier to come by.

As a renter, with no roots, hoarding isn't an option for me. Having said that I've always got the equivalent of two small wall cupboards of food, imagine the small wall cupboards you'd get in a holiday caravan.

Right now I could survive 2-3 weeks on 4 tins of beans, 4 tins of tomatoes, 1 tin of pineapple, 1 tin of tuna, 3/4 of a cauli, a sprig of broccoli, 100g of carrots, 1Kg of cheese, 2 tins of soup, 10 cheapo packs of instant noodles, bag of rice, 2 packs of thread noodles, 1 tin of carrots and 1 tin of mushy peas that I've got.. and assuming I have electricity and water, I can make loads of things with the flour/water/herbs I've got.

Armed only with some butter/sugar/flour/splash of milk (I used dried), I can whip up a steamed sponge pudding in under 10 minutes.

"It may look like a scene from 28 Days Later outside but at least I have my steamed sponge pudding."

It's a silver lining I guess.

I was wondering after stockpiling food - whats the best strategy from a choice of two:

1. get the shotgun and barricade yourselves into your own homes(forts:p) living off your stockpiles until things get better or the bitter end whichever happens first.

2. get the shotgun and use it to terrorise others and 'reappropriate' their stockpiles (just like i saw this one time on the tv program 'survivors', incidentally it seemed to work ok for them).

:rolleyes:

We should start ear marking the properties we will reappropriate now. I rather fancied that place on survivors where they had the jacuzzi still.

I never saw that show. I imagine for the serious few on this thread that programme was their equivalent of pornography.

LOL, thats something DH and I (jokily before somone offers m a tinfoil hat). One of our neighbouring farms is well situated for both winter and summer use and would be easy to secure But I fancy Longleat in such a situation really. :rolleyes:

In ''reality'' in this situation (notice the quotes) community would become important, for security as much as anything else, but also work force. It would be better to have a humble villag grouping together then a family try and ride out armegeddon on a private estate. So, maybe conspiracy theorists should try and ingraciate with their local communities? Church flower rota anybody?
