I take it then you personally would be happy to forgo any medications life saving or otherwise? or is your plan more about other people’s medication?
Tally ho! Old chap that’s damn decent of you. You say a couple.... can I put you down for 3 a day? Now let me see we only need to find ports for another 1597 OTHER lorries per day not to nention the usual 16,000 a day.
Thanks for heads up.
I checked the Met office website and yes it says we could well be in for some severe weather. I shall definitely prepare for that.
Yes! More than most. I'm a relentless campaigner. 😁
I campaign with plenty of more mature people and youngsters!
I'm really disappointed by some of your posts here. You're obviously a Leaver with a strong opinion and lots of your posts show passive aggression to those who disagree with you. Most people don't want to go back to the bad old days that people like you view thru rose tinted spectacles.
You're quite misinformed! A few boats collecting food from the Beaches isn't going to help!!! Its all got to go through customs and with a no deal, you'll never get it thru before it goes off! You'll be breaking the law! :rotfl: :rotfl:
And our borders are protected by laws that our own government CHOOSE NOT to implement!
However, for those of us STILL hoping to head off a disaster, it is simply bizarre.

We have camping gear but the tent was sold many years ago so we've the stove, cooking set, water carriers, air beds and sleeping bags, some foil blankets and shelters, good all purpose knives, sturdy bags (firewood collecting) and identification books for birds, plants, animals etc. a good strong tarpaulin to make a shelter and a lifetimes worth of 'know how' to help us through any event that means having to leave home.
In an event for staying in but staying put we have all of the above, a wood burner stove and the firewood to run it, ample supplies of 'larder goods' that I'll use in our everyday meals anyway, waterproof outer layers, warm indoor clothes, loo rolls etc. not excessive amounts of anything but just a little extra to normal in case we're poorly or the weather means we can't easily get out to the shops.
Things I rely on are porridge oats, sweeteners (all types including golden syrup, molasses, honey, sugar and stevia)split red lentils and herbs and spices to ring the changes, rice and pasta, tinned goods of all types but more baked beans and tinned tomatoes than any other single items, flour for flatbreads and oils for various different kinds of cooking be it from frying to making a vegan cake. With those at the core of things we can hope for a diet that gives all the nutrients we need to keep us fit and give us the extra energy we'll need if we have to do things manually.
Hope others can build on this as a set of basics.
