THE Prepping thread - a new beginning :)

My own definition of 'prepper'? Buying a jacket from a charity shop and being chuffed to find a blister pack of Tramadol in the pocket.:rotfl:
Last time I found something in a second hand item, it was a box of chocolates in a chest drawer. This was better.
But I'm older now and times are hard....:(

I really don't know what you mean, I thought I was playing nicely with others.

Which is what my teachers always told me I should be doing, back in Mixed Infants, as they gently prised my fingers away from the throat of some 'orrible snotty little boy who really should've known better than to call me Carrot Top.

He learned the hard way, mes amies, he learned the hard way.

witless we use colene (similar stuff) to make the net on the fishing creels and they last for years - this is commercial fishing, not playing.

Oh dear - it appears that I am deeply posh... but I didn't get asked about Dysons - I mean, who knows what the staff use?!

Seriously, give me a Henry any day. Though I am little taken with my S-i-L's Dyson, but there's nothing wrong with dear old Henry. And we don't have carpets anyway, just the odd old rug. Persian, mostly...

But I am also a prepper! Though I don't watch preptastic shows, because I don't watch much TV at all. And I don't have much paracord (though it's only sensible to have some, when camping in an elderly Japanese van) but I do have skeins of baler twine, which does in an emergency, and also weaves or crochets up into a nice mat. And whilst I can use the odd old-fashioned weapon reasonably proficiently, give me a nice cast-iron frying pan any day, especially for use against zombies.

GQ are we *married*?
As dashitall you've got several of my numbers.

I decline to comment on the camo netting on all sorts of grounds.

But ye gods when the poor lad came to service the gas boiler we had to shift a heap of stuff & even then we left the shovel...

Belated happy equinox etc to all

Shovels are very handy to keep close. The gasman might have annoyed you, and it is so tidy to dispose of the bodies quickly.

Hmmm ... now wondering how many bodies a gas man has in your neck of the woods.

But anyhow, it is only me who can't see the word "gasman" without thinking of the expression "long as a gas man's mac"?
