National trust sites

[NorthernRaider]

I wonder if any of you folks are members of the National Trust, I am and not because I like stately homes either. I once visited an open day at one of these rural piles and noted that it was fully restored and generally in a very good state of repair BUT quite often there was no one living FT in the main building. I did a bit of checking and found out that very often these places do have resident care takers but often they live in former workers cottages etc.

A lot of these homes have inbuilt wells, huge cooking ranges, coal and wood cellars, pantries, grounds well stocked with edible critters, sometimes they are slightly fortified, they often have stables, workshops, large reserves of coal or heating oil, fully maintained agricultural vehicles etc.

Eg they would be ideal for groups of preppers to establish sustainable communities after TSHTF and are very worthy of being noted in your prepping docs.

So next time some NT site is having one of its free open days near you it make be worth doing a walk around recce.
