THE Prepping thread - a new beginning :)

DigForVictory

Oh gods, 12 & climbing. It's the historian & camping that tip us over the edge on some areas, but honestly with three teenagers & one income, a great deal of self reliance is indicated. And the lads do So Enjoy playing with fire & making string & so on [yeay Scouts!]. (While the bedrooms? The End of the World is not Nigh, it's on the far side of the door.)

Like many I suspect I fall down on water storage. It's heavy, it really helps to have the right gear & most of the time your family just looks at you with a "Why Do You Make Us Do These Things" expression.

Oh - if you haven't got medication stashed, and pet food etc likewise where relevant, Minus One?

Well i scored 12, but i admit i stretched the food growing to herbs, toms, ans this year around 10 potatoes (but they were ver neglected).....:D

I didnt score on being able to use old type weapons, however, if someone came at me in bed i do have various alternatives.....:D



I dont have water stored which i should really look at, but have a way to cook without utilities if they were to be cut off.....albeit i would spend a long time doing it. ........i would enjoy it when it was done put it that way. ..:)

Good quiz GQ.

Glad you enjoyed that, everybody.

20. You know exactly what OPSEC is, although you'd look vacant if asked, of course.

21. You'd really like to be able to browse the army surplus store incognito.

22. You're tempted to buy camo netting. You don't know why - it just appeals for some reason.

23. If a workman is due at your home, you have a mini panic about what they might see, preps-wise.

24. You know exactly when your prescription meds can be renewed and never allow yourself to get close to running out.

25. Your vehicle's fuel tank is never allowed to fall below half.

26. You have backed up your files onto a removable drive. And removed it to your BOB.

27. You have strange things stored under your bed.

28. You have copies of treasured photos and important documents stored at another address, in case your home burns down.

29. The bookmarks on your computer would reveal some surprising-to-some reading material.

30. You know who the Archdruid is and you're not a pagan.

Mmmmm. An embarrassingly high score.

(Do you score extra if not only do you know who/what JMG is but are a pagan?)

Most definately! Double points. Happy equinox (better late than never).

As a matter of interest - has anyone ever actually managed to break paracord? (as in 550+, not nylon twine)

Oh dear? .....as it gets more i get worse.... :rotfl:


Epic fail, scored 6 on last test. 20 and 30 spring to mind as total fails.

Am utter prepper fail.....no shock there

How many levels are there..?.




I have a big pile of wood, that gives me a point, plus untold food hidden....:D

GreyQueen

Levels? Gawd knows, I'm making it up as I go along. Same as the rest of my life, really.:rotfl:
