Prepping is rubbish in this country though, you can't buy an AR15.

It's all very well having my own water source and land, but I'm a soft palmed office nancy. Someone is gonna take my water off me and I'm gonna cry like mummy's little bender.

Unless we're seriously proposing automated penalties for wrongdoing - penalties that the masses are bothered about and that the elite can't avoid - then we're back to hot air and not enough resources to enforce it

If there's one thing the last lot of covid taught us, we can pretty much do what the feck we want.

And are there any real examples of people who aren't loonies prepping for self sufficiency?

Plus the more you're self dependant the less it's going to cost you.

Stockpile everything, quick.
Nice idea, but the UK is a bit crowded, at least the SE corner is. If every house needs a couple of acres.........

It's obvious that to survive we need to form a RTTL kibbutz.

Before I answer can you confirm you don't think I'm a looney already in case it prejudices your judgement.

Iccy & Screwd have become as bonkers and paranoid as each other.

Maybe they're sharing accounts and logins?

Hope they're not sharing the Bumming Hat :(

Yeah but no. ;)

I mean like a reasonable uptick on those preparing for events that require you to be self sufficient. Not all of those aiming for self sufficiency are preppers, but if you're seriously anticipating a seachange where self sufficiency becomes a valuable commodity then the next step is being able to defend it?
