Interesting read.

Only issue is that after tax the average UK worker has about 1.5K-1.75k. So not everyone could hold to these kinds of numbers. But the principles are good.

difficult to prioritise , water first , that was a no brainer but what next, i have shotguns and some cartridges but not enough of what i consider the right ones , but should i prioritise security when i don't have much to defend yet , it's a conundrum and as i have about £100 a month available its going to be a long haul building a meaningful stock up , i've read the advice of spread your preps around but buying small quantities isn't cost efective.

...but a beginning nonetheless. You can get nowhere without taking the first steps...
