Make sure you've got a completely flat tyre before you use the tyreweld.
Mine wasn't, I'd actually just tried to re-inflate it. "Stupid!" I hear you say. Yes, indeed. But not as stupid as you look when you have to wander back into Tescos, covered in this manky shit that exploded out the top of the can, to buy another one.
Lesson learned - the hard way

RE: What have done towards your prep? - NorthernRaider - 17 May 2012
Made a £600 hole on my credit card this week after waying up the pros & cons of the Euro / EU/Greek/Useless public sector workers and the likleyhood of chaos this summer.I reckon Greece will leave the EU and renage on its debts, If they do the Irish and Portugese will prolly try the same. Meanwhile i reckon the unions will try and destroy the centre right alliance running the country through strikes.
The cuts in benefits etc and falling standards of living will probably see at the very least the chavs and ethnics rioting in the warm summer weekends. I've bought a mountain of extra food, fuel, medical supplies, extra clothing, etc, had both vehicle comprehensively serviced. Increased the amount of time doing SAA with family members, bought some newer up to date OS 1 / 50,000 maps. Scrounge a full UK computer based mapping system. Bought more crossbow bolts, nock ends, string servings etc.

Just in case you don't know if that cupboard is in the kitchen it is not best place to store long term foods, too much temperature fluctuation.

It’s hard to scope on a forum what people know, no offence taken.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - Scythe13 - 30 May 2012
Today I might have popped over and done a bit of shopping for the Scout Jamboree this weekend (sorry for the confusion SD), but I am now the proud owner of a new Vango Ultralite stove, a load of fire rule tablets, and a few letting tin openers. Yeah a tin opener is going on my car keys! EDC is loading up nicely.
I'll show a picture of the space saving!

That's a size comparison.

Just completed my Bug out bag [or 72hr bag]. I already have a complete car bag.
Next thing is a 72hr bag for the next person
