RE: What have done towards your prep? - BeardyMan - 26 November 2013
After swapping my crossbow for a night vision scope I decided that I quite fancied another one. Looked around for a bit and couldn't find anything that took my fancy. Disappointed I logged onto BCUK to find someone selling one of these
Well, for £80 I couldn't say no. If it's shit then hey-ho, no huge loss.
I only really wanted it to see how it deals with the ball bearings.

one thing that REALLY puts me off crossbows is cocking the thing, don't want to put my back out like I certain person did do I?? and again its a single shot weapon not much good if you have multiple "targets"!

Ah, tis only a toy really mate. Be alright to take pigeon with I suppose, if you had it loaded and ready to go, but apart from that it has no real use.
And you don't need to be a r'tard and put your back out, paracord and a couple of improvised handles will save that.
Oh yeah, the offer we put in on a house has been accepted!!
Few things to sort out with solicitors and mortgage people but we're moving house, again.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - bigpaul - 26 November 2013
the crossbow was just a personal opinion-i'm sure you'll enjoy your new toy. good news about the house, pity your moving AGAIN(send me an email you've got the new one).

i love postie...new snow shovels came today , there good but not brilliant , not sure they were worth £30 the pair but they do pack down small enough to fit in my bike panniers...here's hoping for a decent covering of snow to try em out at the dragon rally.....the Muckboots came last week, now they are awesome and worth every penny.

Weekend away from the wife...Time to start those sneaky preps! Did someone say loft load-up?
RE: What have done towards your prep? - NorthernRaider - 1 December 2013
Been very busy for the last 8 weeks, been to Warminster to pick up some kit, bit later did the same but up in Edinburgh, put up a PMR4456 /70CM antenna in my loft and got a few more Baofeng radios, refitted the kitchen and ended up with a 30 % increase in storage space. And over the few few weeks I've been relocating caches and stores to a new location I've rented up the dales.
Ordered BE READY and OFF-GRID glossy mags from the US, did a few hours shooting with the bows, did a snippet of research for SD and had SD and a few other preppers over at different times. Bought then sold a Yuasu HAM Transciever and made £50 profit. Currently in the middle of refitting my little Wagon R to better carry kit and supplies. Its actually been refreshing and fullfilling knuckling down and getting on with various projects now I'm the black sheep of the online prepping community. Now getting ready for Crimbo and playing with my new TD bow.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - Midnitemo - 1 December 2013
