Where to start

[Scythe13]

By the sound of it, you should get a water filter capable of filtering large amounts of water for 5 people.
Also, store up the tins, rice, pasta, and other such things. Should be easy enough to hide if you have to. I always like the suitcase in the garage technique.
As for tools and the alike, start with a load of torches, and candles. Powercuts without them suck. Powercuts with them become lovely and romantic.
A camping gas cooker is also a nice thing to have, incase your cooking system breaks.



Do you go camping with your family?
Do you go cycling with your family?
Does anyone in the family have any specific medical needs (diabetic, etc?)
