RE: What have done towards your prep? - Talon - 22 November 2013 Same as usual,slowly stacking lots of tinned and dry goods,extra warm winter clothing and any old antibiotics that don't get used.I did invest in a good quality snow shovel.I'm tired of cheap ones that have swivelling heads or poor wood handles.I invested in a stout aluminium handled one,nearly choked at the price but when in Consett prepare for snow RE: What have done towards your prep? - Scythe13 - 23 November 2013 Knowledge. Lots and lots of knowledge. Boring...maybe. Useful? No. Only useful when put into practice and able to be used well.

As much as I am not a fan of them, for that price...had to get one. Maybe get a couple tomorrow for the cars.

My hands are about the same size as the ones I got, so figured they wouldn't be ideal for that stuff. However, for digging a quick hole for toilet time, worth it. If it wasn't for the price, I wouldn't have bothered though, because they are so small. For in car though, I quite like them. I'd rather use one of these to dig out a car and risk the weight of the car on that, instead of my hand, if the car slips. Got a few fire blocks and some seam sealer stuff today. Nice and cheap! RE: What have done towards your prep? - Midnitemo - 24 November 2013 shovel patrol is the best use of an entrenching tool for us civvies. RE: What have done towards your prep? - Geordie_Rob - 24 November 2013 I got some sturdy aluminium shelving units from the old Jessops shop in Newcastle. 6&1/2ft high by 5ft wide & you can put the shelves at whatever level you like. Be handy for sorting my shed out & increasing storage space for business, camping & non-food prepping stuff (sacks of rocksalt, sacks of dried dog food & other stuff suitable for storage in cold conditions). 3 lots of the 6&1/2ft x 5ft units for £65, a good buy in my book. RE: What have done towards your prep? - bigpaul - 24 November 2013 found a local supplier for some decent quality(Draper) 12 inch hacksaw blades, not the usual cheap bendy rubbish. |
