Maps. - bigpaul - 31 March 2014
OH has just read out a piece from "The Western Morning News", apparently paper maps are to be phased out and will no longer be available in bookshops, the only ones that will be printed will be popular walking areas like The Lake District, they will be available online and you'll have to print them off but I don't know any printer that will print out a full sized map on one sheet of paper..ours wont, so if you use maps regularly or you want one for after TSHTF I suggest you get in a stock NOW, we have 2 copies of every map we use but will be buying extras as we wear then out regularly.

will be getting a few more in....tried a copy of the tough one ... not sure i like them as they don't fold easily but i guess it may be the way to go if maps are to become difficult to source.

you can even get a map centred on where you live, I think its called "my map" or something, you'll have to google it to find out more.
