THE Prepping thread - a new beginning :)

I have now watched the fnal episode. This one was about alien invasion, together with people who are absolutely convinced that they have spent some time as alien abductees, been probed by aliens, have terminated pregnancies of alien babies or convinced that there is a large number of human-alien hybrids concealed within the general population. Sadly, I felt this was a little far-fetched to the extent of rolling around giggling, not recommended with a cup of tea and also I dropped a stitch in my knitting.
There were no bug out preps in this one, in an earlier one, a man had buried a lot of disused coaches underground to form the basis of a new society. There was a lack of information about how he managed this and I would have liked to know more about the logistics of moving from coach to coach. There was a huge variation in the time people felt that they would need to hide in their shelters of whatever description and one person advised that you needed to be further from the sea than I think possible in this country. Or it might have been further away from other people, again difficult in a small and densely populated country. I'm sure that I could find a remote place but equally sure that others would have had the same idea.

Brilliant! Totally agree with DforV, ancient, you're on a roll there

Also agree with maryb - I think cyberattack will be the new form of warfare for a lot of the time. And the ones that have already happened are probably the equivalent of NK learning how to shove a nuke on top of an ICBM In all seriousness, when you look at the chaos caused by the existing ones - hospitals, transport, public transport, banking, consumer spending, all stopped or severely curtailed at different times - it just makes sense that a rival country would choose this, and let the affected country pull itself to pieces, rather than military attack. They still get most of the economic and social control boost of warfare, without the accompanying problems.

i had a personal shtf last weekend i went in work last sunday on an early
with knee pain but wearing a support, i didnt feel like it , but i look after a guy with autism who only feels comfortable with 3 staff and there was already cover on the late shift 230pm ...10pm.....so i went in would take client for dinner at least he would have 1 good meal....my knee went really bad i was nearly crawling ....but just about survived till 3pm ..... when i got home knee inflamed i couldnt walk.....in agony got around my flat using a stick as a crutch with nails in it.... took me 15 minutes to shuffle to kitchen.....to eat cold tins of beans thankfully i had a cupboard full and lots of bottled water in fridge ... by sunday night i discovered i could use a breakfast chair as a zimmer frame.... i also had a stock of painkillers .... i lived in my recliner chair for 24 hours good job i had stock of painkillers phoned drs monday but no meds delivered till tuesday then colleagues brought me a zimmer frame .... didnt leave house till this saturday.....the moral is my prepps made an awful situation just about bearable and i ordered crutches from ammazin in case it happens again and online shopping from tosspots also made it bearable....sorry for going on but was a rude awakening
