It is a fact that supermarket shelves would be empty within 3 days if our network of roads came to a standstill. It is a fact that the sun is entering a period of increased solar activity increasing the chances of emp's. Floods and severe weather all show how vunerable we all are. What are you doing to safeguard your family should the SHTF, ?

Dont know about all that. Saw a trailer for a program the other day where a bloke reaconed that if the electricity system in the UK shut down, half the population would be dead within a week.

Again dont know about all that - seems a bit extreme to me, but it was interesting a few years ago to see the effects of the blockade of the fuel refineries. Some people were clearly struggling with the concept of not having petrol and you would have thought that a lot of people would have factored it into their lives with regard to where they live versus where they work etc etc, but of course it has been business as usual since and in fact in our area, commuting has sky rocketed.

I think the saying oop north is 'nowt as strange as folk'

Its a funny old world and I think we are in for interesting times within my lifetime anyway. Theres going to be a lot of adjusting to be done life style wise in the not too distant future.

The sooner people get sensible the less dramatic the changes will need to be. Its not rocket science and there are those on here whose grandparents or even parents in some cases, were coping quite happily without all the mod cons.

Personaly lived in places during my youth with no electricity and a water supply from a mountain stream.

Its surprising how little we really need to survive - most of the 'stuff' we regard as essential these days is just the result of marketing.

We just need a change of mindset and a chat with the old folks while they are still around to teach us a few of their tricks.

edit - ie if people just come to their senses the S won't HTF

2 months of food and water, spare meds, lumber, rope, candles, food supplements, many sharp things axes and hand saws, fire wood and extra matches. Won't bore everyone with means of self protection for myself and family.

Ted, just wondering what future uses you envisage for the easy lift - could kick of a whole new marketing strategy here, although bearing in mind my post above, best to keep it practical :lol::lol:
