RE: What have done towards your prep? - BeardyMan - 20 August 2013
I've bought a few this weekend, I got a little bit carried away.
4 mini "survival" knives
2 new shemaghs (my other 2 appear to have disappeared)
1kg of thyme (don't ask, I don't know why I ordered that amount!)
5 vials of Potassium permangate
5 vials of glycerol
1 quiver
1 new laplander
25 meters of dyneema / amsteel
Spent all day yesterday outside in the garden - put 100 pellets through the air rifle, changed the o-rings on the stirrup pump, let rip with the crossbow - that things a beast - bent 50% of the bolts I fired! Then we were firing the long and compound bows all afternoon. I need an arm guard, I'm sporting a rather fetching bruise on my left forearm now that runs nearly the whole length of it.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - bigpaul - 20 August 2013
I've got an arm guard you can have BM, very basic nothing special, send me a pm with your address and I'll stick it in the post.

Oh yeah, something that took me completely by surprise, the future brother-in-law picked up the compound bow, drew it back and nailed the target first time. I thought it was beginners luck, but the boy's like Robin Hood reincarnate! I've never seen anything like it, never ever touched a bow before in his life, real natural skill. I was half tempted to give the thing to him, but I'm sure I need it more than he does

I daren't put the prices next to my stuff just in case Jade decides to have a gander! Bless her, she thinks most of the stuff I buy is dirt cheap.
If I die suddenly for any reason I'm expecting someone on here to tell her exactly how much my things are worth, not what I told her I paid for them
RE: What have done towards your prep? - bigpaul - 20 August 2013
Jane dosent really care what I spend, she even tells me sometimes what I should buy next!!

Bargain. I really struggle with hats, I have an unusually shaped cranium.
Completely forgot it was WG last weekend! Still, we had people down so I wouldn't have been able to escape anyway.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - bigpaul - 20 August 2013
I picked up 2 leather hats from my favourite stall, the first fitted well-XL, the second I got last sunday is just a large-a bit tight but its ok. going up to the WG on Friday morning-we left at 06.30 got half way there and it bucketed down, nearly turned around and went home, glad we didn't, cleared up after a bit and was quite warm, met a few interesting people on the stalls, "Armouredcockroach" was there but didn't spot him.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - Mooski88 - 20 August 2013

Over two hundred various items out of ration packets. 6 thermal t shirts. Several new blades. Oh and most important ..... A deck of cards.

It's alright for you guys pissing up a tree, but ladies do prefer something a little more comfortable and these little things could help
