    I remember the talks at school about what to do if "the bomb" went off and advice was to hide under your desk. Even in primary I was a bit of a cynic and remember wondering just how much good that would do me but had just enough sense not to say it aloud.;)

    Anyone storing flour etc - don't forget yeast!

    I find it difficult to see NK being able to go nuclear on us but strange things can happen and SHTF moments come when and where you least expect it.

    I find prepping a bit and making things from scratch not only gives me more for the money but feels like a quiet rebellion to the whole sorry lot of them!! :mad:

    Andthose leaflets! All 'stay at home and away from the windows'!

    I just think of that saying 'Put your head between your legs and kiss your a** goodbye!'

    I was warm for a bit this afternoon, after a bracing dog walk and got some seeds planted (indoors!) - Lincoln peas, dwarf beans, Hubbard squash and sugar snap peas. The weird root veg are showing signs of life too.

    Soap-making is not a skill of mine yet, it's okay for my own use but I'd hide it from anyone else!

    Has anyone read the book One Second After. I just ordered it because loads of USA prep sites say its amazing and made them work harder at their preps. It's a fictional story about society breaking down after an EMP strike - I hope it's good!
